Trump staffer: desperately tries to sanewash Trump’s demented tariff plan
Trump:
> After this story was published on Monday morning, Trump criticized The Washington Post’s reporting in a post on his Truth Social site and said his tariff policy would not be pared back.
> “The story in the Washington Post, quoting so-called anonymous sources, which don’t exist, incorrectly states that my tariff policy will be pared back. That is wrong,” Trump wrote. “The Washington Post knows it’s wrong. It’s just another example of Fake News.”
Trump staffer: ah. well. nevertheless
Pongzz on
>Exactly which imports or industries would face tariffs was not immediately clear. Preliminary discussions have largely focused on several key sectors that the Trump team wants to bring back to the United States, the people said. Those include the defense industrial supply chain (through tariffs on steel, iron, aluminum and copper); critical medical supplies (syringes, needles, vials and pharmaceutical materials); and energy production (batteries, rare earth minerals and even solar panels), two of the people said.
So, the things people complain about being expensive will become even more expensive. Lol. Lmao. If you’re going to buy a car, do it now, I guess.
