    If the only cheap things in America are the words used by the Trump administration when they tell people that prices don't matter, they are not long for power. Obviously. They must know that.

      A fuller context of the quote might have to do with standard of living and income relative to prices, which could make some sense, but the runway needed for that sort of momentum in the face of immediately higher prices, is not there.

        Good point from Alex Tabarrok, GMU colleague of Hanson, Caplan, and Cowen.

        You were warned.

          That's what I just wrote, but I fleshed it out a bit. Did you post that for the people who have me blocked?

              I’ve heard people say it’s all about confidence and optimism.

              Perhaps investors think Trump doesn’t have the right temperament this time around.

              Or maybe it’ll be fine tomorrow… who knows.

                Every tariff discussion should be grounded in two key numbers: 50 and 33

                Every tariff discussion should be grounded in one key question.

                Does this tariff help in the coming war against China?

                Lose that war, and the rest of this doesn't matter.

                                    I think a lot of it is about perception. And stability.
