'Recession is coming': Critics outraged as Trump vows steep tariffs imminent

Raw Story  

President Donald Trump says he's done delaying the massive tariffs he planned to enact on America's neighbors, telling reporters Monday: "No room left for Mexico or for Canada. "You can watch the stock market tank in the bottom corner of Fox's broadcast as Trump talks about tariffs," wrote independent journalist Aaron Rupar. "Trump just made a new announcement about tariffs from the WH," wrote former GOP strategist turned Meidas Touch editor Ron Filipkowski. "Trump’s supporters who most wanted him to lower prices are going to be the first ones to suffer," wrote Center for International Policy Vice President for Global Affairs Dylan Williams. "The problem is that people in the Trump orbit articulate multiple, often inconsistent, accounts of what the 'real point' of the tariff policy is," wrote Bloomberg columnist Matthew Yglesias.
