THE heavens declare the glory of God; and THE FIRMAMENT sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof. Psalm 19:1-6

Trump portends death of US economy if country is unable to counter tariffs

Trump portends death of US economy if country is unable to counter tariffs at george magazine

President Donald Trump forecasted the death of the U.S. economy if America were prevented from deploying counter tariffs against other countries.

A court battle is underway regarding Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs after the U.S. Court of International Trade blocked them from going into effect. The president reiterated comments he made over the weekend, issuing a grave warning if tariffs weren’t allowed to go into effect.

“If other Countries are allowed to use Tariffs against us, and we’re not allowed to counter them, quickly and nimbly, with Tariffs against them, our Country doesn’t have, even a small chance, of Economic survival,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social on Monday.

The language parallels a post he made Sunday:

“If the Courts somehow rule against us on Tariffs, which is not expected, that would allow other Countries to hold our Nation hostage with their anti-American Tariffs that they would use against us,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “This would mean the Economic ruination of the United States of America!”

Trump has long argued that other countries use tariffs as one of many ways to harm the United States in trade. He has repeatedly presented U.S. tariffs as a way to counter predatory strategies from other countries and bring manufacturing home.

TRUMP PUSHES BACK ON CHARACTERIZATION OF ‘TACO’ STRATEGY: ‘IT’S CALLED NEGOTIATION’

While Trump has praised tariffs as good in and of themselves, in recent months, he’s focused on the deal-making aspect. He explained his logic after a reporter asked for a response to some traders’ allegations that he was “chickening out” when lowering tariffs.

“It’s called negotiation. You set a number. And if you go down, if I set a ridiculous high number and I go down a little bit, a little bit, they want me to hold that number, 145% tariff. Even I said, ‘Man, that really got up,’” Trump said last month, adding he brought the number down after negotiations.
