Wall Street Journal editorial calls Trump tariffs ‘dumbest trade war in history’
Some US business leaders reacted neutrally, while JP Morgan CEO says tariff threats can be used effectively
Summary
The Wall Street Journal criticized Trump’s new tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China as “the dumbest trade war in history.”
Trump imposed a 25% tariff on Canadian and Mexican imports and 10% on Chinese goods, citing national security concerns.
Critics, including economists and business leaders, warn of higher prices and economic harm, with estimates showing a $1,000–$1,200 annual hit to US households.
Canada, Mexico, and China announced retaliatory measures. Trump defended his policy, while critics argue it will worsen inflation and disrupt key supply chains.

Who exactly do you expect to be assassinated to solve this problem? Trump? Then Vance? Then Johnson? Look at the line of succession. There will be a Republican to replace who ever is killed over and over.
Gotta start somewhere.
You cannot fix systemic problems through assassination.
I have no idea why I have to keep telling people the fucking obvious thing about this.
What Luigi Mangione did I entirely sympathize with. However, nothing has changed about America's healthcare system as a result. People like you don't seem to notice that and I don't know why.
I said nothing about solving any problems because I agree, systems need to be changed from within (not that anybody expected a big systemic change after just one dead CEO like you imply). Workers' rights did improve partly due to violence throughout history, though, but that's not my point.
My point is Nazis can't be fixed.
I was just saying a name ;)
Cute way of avoiding my question since you absolutely know you weren't. I might be stupid, but I doubt you are.
Luigi!
