Trump's tariffs are designed for maximum damage—to America This is not a both sides have a point situation. Maury Obstfeld @piie.com speaking truth to power. www.piie.com/blogs/realti...

This is what Trump's "economists" say about how they calculated the "reciprocal" tariffs. Don[t be fooled by the equation. They commit countless crimes against economics. ustr.gov/issue-areas/... +
