Trump’s tariffs are a $1.4 trillion gamble with the economy and prices

New York CNN —
President Donald Trump is on the verge of hitting America’s three biggest trading partners with sweeping tariffs, a far more aggressive use of his favorite economic weapon than anything he did during his first term.
The looming import taxes on Mexico, Canada and China will be a major test of Trump’s unorthodox use of tariffs, which he’s described as “the greatest thing ever invented.”
It’s an enormous gamble, arguably a bigger one than any economic policy Trump enacted during his four-plus years in the White House. And this strategy has the potential to upend the thing many voters care about the most: the economy and the cost of living.
But Trump’s tariffs pose a big risk: They could backfire, lifting already-high consumer prices at the grocery store, rocking the shaky stock market or killing jobs in a full-blown trade war.

On his first full day back in the White House, President Trump vowed to do what no president had ever done before. “We’re going to do things that people will be shocked at,” he declared. Of all the thousands of words that Trump uttered during his fact-challenged, talkathon-style opening days as the nation’s 47th president, those may have been the truest.

I suddenly feel differently about the election and Trump
| October 30, 2024, Mother Jones Daily |
| I’m back from a quick, child-free vacation with the closest of friends, the kind of hang that leaves your soul nourished. But after spending the morning catching up on the news—which is to say, the racist vitriol, threats of election violence, and cowardice of billionaires—I’m now feeling catastrophically nervous. What is the world going to look like this time next week? Will we finally close the door on this horrific chapter? Will democracy survive another Trump win?
