The use of vague pronouns ("it", repeatedly") without naming the issue indicates the onset of some form of dementia.

You would think they might have noticed that one of Trump’s only long-term convictions was that America had been victimized by world trade and that tariffs would solve all of our problems. During the 2024 campaign, there was almost no issue that Trump did not claim tariffs would resolve, including the federal budget deficit, joblessness (though unemployment was already low), high taxes (tariffs are taxes), war, and of course the trade deficit.

And now the captains of finance are surprised?

At his Rose Garden declaration of “Liberation Day,” he repeated his oft-stated view that the United States has been “looted, pillaged, raped and plundered by nations near and far” for fifty years and more. Long-term trade deficits, he declared, are a “national emergency” that “threaten our way of life.”

In vain did a procession of first-term advisers attempt to disabuse Trump of his absurd views about trade. They patiently explained that it is Americans, not foreigners, who pay tariffs. He was deaf to this. They noted that trade deficits are not a measure of wealth—far less who is “winning” or “losing.” If we buy coffee from Costa Rica and they buy nothing from us (which isn’t true, but just as an illustration), in no sense has Costa Rica taken advantage of, far less “raped” America. We gave them dollars and they gave us coffee in return.
