#TrumpTariffs When Trump launched his tariff crusade, it was framed as a fight for American dignity. “China’s been ripping us off for decades,” he said. But the #TrumpTariffs didn’t bring back manufacturing jobs in the way he promised. Instead, U.S. farmers needed billions in bailouts, and companies like Harley-Davidson moved production overseas. The move played well politically in 2016 and 2020 with certain voter bases—but at what cost? With a global economy more interconnected than ever, can we really afford to fight our allies and partners? Smart policy beats loud slogans every time. #TradePolicy #TrumpEra
