Corporate Media Takes Screw America Approach To Trump Tariffs
M.D. Kittle
Fueled by fear, nearly three-quarters of Americans surveyed believed President Donald Trump’s tariffs would hurt the U.S. economy in the short-term, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday.
The sentiment check dropped as the Trump administration announced a 90-day pause on his reciprocal tariffs, with the exception of serial free-trade abuser China. Instantaneously, the battered markets surged. Trump said he paused his sweeping reciprocal tariffs on the many nations who have long screwed the U.S. consumer because they were willing to come to the negotiating table in an attempt to level the playing field.
The president also felt the fear of the American people.
Why wouldn’t they be afraid? The Trump-hating corporate media has inundated their pages and airwaves with apocalyptic coverage of the tariffs and how Trump is single-handedly driving the world into recession. Not that there isn’t cause for worry. If you’re a baby boomer staring down the barrel of retirement right now and counting on your 401(k), the markets’ bruising over the past several days is more than unsettling.
