Trump’s tariff plans are dominating the news, and even some of his own party are pushing the panic button.
BIG IDEA: We must persist to win.
My top 3 takeaways this week, as we navigate the news:
1. TRUMP IS THE PERSON TO TRY IT
No president in recent history has had the courage or boldness to reset unfair, international trade practices. But with no re-election to worry about, Trump is going for it.
2. A BOLD POLICY CHANGE WAS NEEDED
We must face financial reality. ‘Free’ trade doesn’t equal fair trade. So if America won’t take on entitlement spending, we must reset our $1.9 trillion trade deficit.
3. BUT WILL AMERICANS HAVE THE POLITICAL WILL TO WIN?
Trump’s bold actions are motivated by America’s best interests. But if he doesn’t get quick wins, or if prices soar, Americans may punish him at the ballot box before the job is done.
