The ridiculous real story behind the tariff plan that turned Donald Trump into a global disaster - Rachel Maddow - MSNBC

1. Bravo!! Standing-O!! Oh, Baby!!

Rachel's got it right. Depression. If there's anything taught in courses on International Trade or Financial Economics (I've taken both), it is tariffs don't work and they caused the Great Depression, if not WWII.

Rachel's got Trump on the ropes. He will dig in, won't change anything except to tell everyone how perfect a job he's doing, a very hard job, with the world's greatest advisors. Navarro is an idiot who's been ranting hard-line right wing economics for a decade. He always seemed to surface for a quote in the Trump I fiasco.

But, we are lucky to have this publicly available information now. Maybe its path and consequences can be altered.
