Always Wrong
It’s a kind of mystery – will hitting Canada and Mexico with tariffs land us in the promised land or in a ditch?
The Wall Street Journal, shaking its head, saw Trump’s tariffs as a bad idea. Trump whacked back, calling the Journal ‘always wrong.’ The Wall Street Journal isn’t always right but it isn’t ‘always’ wrong either. Trump was spinning a tale.
Canada and Mexico both hit us back with tariffs of their own – Trump then put his tariffs on Canada and Mexico on hold for a month to negotiate a deal. So maybe the whole thing was a negotiating ploy. Who knows for sure?
Still, there’s no getting around one fact: Since Trump spun us a tale about the Wall Street Journal, it makes sense to wonder – could he be spinning another tale about tariffs?
