The 2024 elections were a resounding victory for Republicans. Now, the GOP is making the mistake of thinking it can do whatever it wants and the pendulum won’t swing the other way.

President Donald Trump has pushed through with his plan to put “reciprocal” tariffs on the rest of the world. What Trump has actually decided to do is place massive tariffs on countries that have low tariffs on the U.S. but export a lot of goods to us, while placing minimum tariffs on countries with massive tariffs on the U.S. that export next to nothing. This comes after stoking a bizarre trade war with Canada that Trump has pursued with more zeal than one against adversarial countries such as, say, China.
