It’s taken a while, but most Americans have finally come to realize that the new tariffs imposed on imported goods…
Even if misguided, the Trump administration’s tariffs are intended to encourage manufacturing in the US instead of sending those manufacturing jobs overseas.
No, the tariffs are not “misguided” — they’re intended to extract bribes from countries and companies. Stop pretending that there’s a rationale other than that.
Hear hear. There’s only one thing worse than giving these people the benefit of the doubt, and that’s supporting them.
I think we need to be making more use of the word “ostensibly”.
ostensibly intended to encourage manufacturing in the US instead of sending those manufacturing jobs overseas.
That reads much better to me.
Remember that most US citizens read at or under a sixth grade level.
That low? I thought I remembered newspapers were written at 8th or 10th grade levels.
Fair, but in journalism you can just write “Trump says the tariffs are to encourage manufacturing in the US…”
Unless the journalist is a mind-reader, they don’t know what Trump thinks.
That’s true, I don’t mean to discount that.
Reminds me of the parted out “made in the USA” Ford F150, which actually has components from 24 different countries.
