On top of the worst tariffs since Smoot-Hawley in the 1930s. During the Great Depression.

Sorry, gotta lol at this CEO thinking a sundowning Trump knows what the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act is much less could understand its consequences. He doesn't even really know what tariffs are!
Gary Black @garyblack00 Yeah, I voted for Trump but I never thought he’d be so foolish to actually move forward with 25% tariffs given the well-documented history of how the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930 triggered the onset of the Great Depression as global trade flows dried up.

In 1930, 6 months after the Smoot-Hawley tariffs were enacted by President Hoover, world trade decreased by SIXTY PERCENT (60%). Because of policies like the Smoot-Hawley tariffs contributing to the Great Depression in the 1930's, Hoover is considered one of our WORST president's.
Sound familiar?

The Smoot-Hawley Award for Impoverishing Americans with Tariffs

A Democratic Party with any spirit would stage a press conference every single day to present Donald Trump with one sarcastic award after another.

The Dennis Hastert Award for Enabling Pedophilia
The Richard Nixon Memorial Trophy for Lawlessness
The Blue Ribbon for Setting a Record Federal Deficit

Trump: Since 1978 the Kennedy Center honors have been amongst the most prestigious awards. I wanted one, never able to get one. I would have taken it. I waited and waited and waited and I said to hell with it, I'll become chairman. I will give myself an honor. Next year we'll honor trump, okay?

Trump is using the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act to impose 50% tariffs on Canada.

The Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act is the law that triggered the Great Depression. What could go wrong?

Well, I guess we’re going to find out if Smoot-Hawley works in a 21st century global economy. The market is betting against it.

The US didn’t expect retaliation to Smoot-Hawley either, incredibly.

Trump is out of his depth in this trade war. He clearly didnt expect this Chinese reaction--and is accusing them of panicking. Ahhh--Projection....

Btw the Section 338 tariffs are totally untested. We could be back here in no time whatsoever with an identical set of tariffs and get the same result. Or they get the message and just don't bother. No views as to which is more likely.
Section 338 of the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930 What it permits: The Depression-era provision empowers the president to introduce tariffs on imports from nations “whenever he shall find as a fact” that these countries impose unreasonable charges or limitations, or engage in discriminatory behavior against US commerce. There’s no prerequisite for a federal agency to conduct an investigation before the president can apply tariffs. Limitations: Section 338 duties are capped at 50%. Previous uses: Section 338 has never been used before to impose tariffs. If Trump were to lean on this provision, such an unprecedented move may invite legal challenges. The possibility that Trump could tap Section 338 has alarmed some Democrats in the House of Representatives — five lawmakers introduced a resolution in March 2025 to repeal this section of the 1930 law.
