This week marks 9 months since Donald Trump took office as President, and implemented his tariff policies.
For these 9 months, Democrats and their economy gurus have assured us that Trump’s tariff policies would blow inflation up, cause a stock market crash and make the United States a pariah among nations.
As I write this, inflation is exactly where Trump inherited it, the stock market hit an all-time high last week, trillions upon trillions of dollars in new investments by companies, foreign and domestic, have been announced…
…and we have also collected hundreds of billions of dollars in tariffs.
In fairness, a few – a very few – of the doomsayers have changed their tune and admitted they might have gotten things wrong. But the preponderance of them have not.
How come? Maybe it’s just ego. Or maybe it’s because they are waiting – rooting – for an inflation blow-up and a stock market crash to “prove” they were right about the tariffs.
Regardless of why, let’s hope their wait continues for a long, long time.
