Schumer: ‘Donald Trump’s Trade War Is Playing Russian Roulette with the American Economy’

EXCERPT:

SCHUMER: “The worst part is nobody knows what these tariffs will look like. Perhaps not even Donald Trump. He seems — on a slow day, he changes his mind about them only once a day. He seems to change his mind about them almost every hour. This is not what the American people want. Americans and American businesses detest the chaos and unpredictability that Trump brings. No surprise, more and more Americans now disapprove of his handling of the economy. Meanwhile, the S&P is on track for its worst quarter compared to the rest of the world since the 1980s. Consumer confidence is at its worst since Donald Trump’s first term. Outlook for the economy is at a 12-year low. Household debt is on the rise. Donald Trump’s trade war is playing Russian roulette with the American economy. And it will be households, retirees, consumers, average families that pay the price.”
