When did Americans get this stupid? MAGA position: Tariffs don’t raise prices (they do). Free trade isn’t free (it is). Trump negotiated free trade, but free trade is bad. Tariffs are “leverage,” except when they’re emotional punishment. Americans should pay more because conservatives felt offended. Fuck, man.

Trump’s Tariffs: 40 Years in the Making 🇺🇸💰 On E221, the besties discussed President Trump's newly announced 25% auto tariffs. Chamath Palihapitiya: " The one thing I'll say about Donald Trump is you may not agree with the tariffs, but he's been incredibly consistent." "I stumbled into an interview he did with Larry King in 1987, and he walked through the entire trade imbalance 40 years ago." Donald J. Trump in 1987: " The fact is that you don't have free trade. We think of it as free trade, but you right now don't have free trade." Chamath: "Here's what tariffs do: tariffs are a level-setting mechanism that fixes a historical imbalance." "What they want is to create the economic incentives to re-shore as much industry as possible into the United States."

#WATCH: Pierre Poilievre tells Donald Trump that true free trade without tariffs is the goal both countries should work towards. I agree with Poilievre. Both nations should eliminate all tariffs now. Canada should begin with dairy and poultry tariffs. Will the CPC support this?

David Cochrane: The era of free trade with the United States is over, certainly as long as the MAGA mindset of the Republican Party dominates the White House, the Senate, and the Congress. Even on a day where Donald Trump is lowering beef tariffs to make life cheaper for Americans, he still insists foreigners pay tariffs in the U.S. And even when it is harming the U.S. economy, he still insists it is making the U.S. economy stronger.

Milton Friedman schools a protectionist & defends free trade: “I’d argue that the social and moral issues are all on the side of free trade. It is you and people like you who introduce protection who are the ones violating fundamental social and moral issues.” “Tell me, what trade union represents the workers who are displaced because high tariffs reduce exports from this country, because high tariffs make steel and other goods more expensive?” “As a result, those industries which use steel have to charge higher prices and have fewer employees... What moral and ethical view do you have about their interest?”

The Trump-Pence years really changed the national consensus on China. We imposed $250 billion in tariffs on China. They're there to this day. China is the exception. Trade abusers are the exception. Ultimately, American businesses and American consumers pay American tariffs. That's fundamental economics. Most Hoosiers understand that what we make here, what we grow here, we sell to the world. Our goal should be free trade with free nations and I make that case in my new book, What Conservatives Believe

Our free trade relationship is a win-win for Canada and the United States. It brings down prices. It creates jobs. It makes our two countries more prosperous. High tariffs put all of that at risk.

Labour wasted months before even speaking to President Trump about a trade deal. Now, British businesses face damaging tariffs. They need to get on with it and secure a tariff-free deal that protects jobs and boosts our economy.

Former U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai, who served under Biden, admits that Trump has won the argument on free trade being bad for workers, and globalists now have to "completely reimagine free trade" "What was free about it? The free trade actually incurred a lot of costs that we haven't talked about, that we tried to paper over. And in many ways, the moment that we are facing today when it comes to trade policy, geopolitics, and even our domestic politics is a result of sweeping inconvenient realities under the rug for too long."

President Trump and the MAGA movement have manufactured an image of a struggling America, held back by globalization and free trade. The reality is that most Americans are doing far better than they were decades ago. My take:

Mark Warner on the Canada-U.S. talks: “The Americans wanting a say over who Canada does free-trade deals with (especially non-market economies) isn’t some shocking new demand — it’s already in CUSMA Article 32.10.” “Bigger partners always ask for more discipline when they feel competitive pressure. The EU did the same thing decades ago.” “Canada isn’t walking around in white gloves on trade. Our partners know that.” “Don’t stoke the nationalism. Free trade has never been popular here — the real test comes when more people actually feel the tariff pain.” Clear-eyed, non-emotional analysis from someone who lived through 1988 negotiations Mark Warner
