On jobs, trade and interest rates, Trump trips over his economic illiteracy (again)
The president, in a rather literal sense, just doesn’t know what he’s talking about when it comes to economic policies he ought to understand.

As a former trade official, I feel comfortable in saying that there has never been a president who was more clueless about trade and how it works than Trump. Maybe no official in our history. (Except possibly Peter Navarro.)
It would be nice if someone could explain this community note to him. Having a president with a basic understanding of how trade works doesn’t seem like a ton to ask.

Never forget that on March 12, Trump was CELEBRATING oil prices going up because he said his cronies and donors in the oil companies would make more money. He WANTED prices to go up. And Republicans running in the midterms supported it, even though they want to hide from it now.
