Opinion | One Moment That Foretold It All (Gift Article)
The most consequential day of Donald Trump’s second term came before it even began.
"This isn’t a coalition government; it’s a royal court. Trump is surrounded by courtiers who wield influence so long as they maintain his favor and not a moment longer. When is the last time he heard the word “no,” or was told, “I’m sorry, sir, you can’t”? "

Opinion | The Childish Tariff Formula That Will Reshape the Global Economy (Gift Article)
Trump said repeatedly that the tariffs are “reciprocal,” but that’s not true. The rates were calculated using a childish formula based on trade imbalances.
"Lesotho's... 2.3 million citizens spend an average of only $3 on American goods and services each year not because they’re trying to cheat the United States but because they have very little money. And what of the stuff that Americans buy from Lesotho? Diamonds top the list."

Me talking to @felixsalmon.com about how the non-sensical claim that European VATs are tariffs and that we should retaliate with equal-sized tariffs is just a way to grab revenue to finance tax cuts tilted to the wealthy.

We’re potentially talking about a bigger increase in the effective tariff rate than Smoot-Hawley at a time when:
1.) Trade is a bigger part of our economy so the economic effects are larger
2.) Inflation is too high instead of too low (it was negative 2.7% in 1930 when Smoot-Hawley happened).
