What we see now is the direct result of Trump’s blockade, not evidence of failure. Like so many humanitarian crises around the world which have spiraled out of control, what we see now is a magnified version of what we have been deliberately trying to do for decades.

There is a liminal space where opinion transforms into fact just before something becomes a “controversy” because someone says it is one. The reality is that public opinion started to change against us when they started claiming it was. The claim preceded the result.

Before Trump was even elected, economists were saying tariffs are bad idea.

Trump keep announcing and enacting new tariffs. You can't even keep track of it. This thing about semiconductors if from today. www.cnbc.com/2025/08/05/t... (Those are in everything! What could go wrong (that's sarcasm).
Trump says new semiconductor tariff plan coming as soon as next week
Trump's announcement on CNBC's "Squawk Box" came on the heels of him unveiling new tariff rates on numerous countries, with some facing steep hikes.

From Perplexity AI "The annual inflation rate rose to 2.7% in June 2025, up from 2.4% in May and 2.3% in April, marking the second consecutive monthly"

One cause of inflation has been tariffs. (Leo AI says this. I'm lazy!) Easy to see why, consumers pay the cost of a tariff. Tax on imports.
