Elizabeth Warren: Trump’s Tariffs Are ‘Loaded with Chaos and Corruption’

EXCERPT:

WARREN: "Well, let's keep in mind, tariffs can be an important tool in the toolbox when used in targeted ways. But right now, what we've got is chaos and corruption. Donald Trump has imposed a tariff on everyone everywhere, on all products. That's the 10 percent tariff — of course, it was much higher earlier in the week — and now in this trade war with China that basically tries to shut down all trade. And then, right out in plain view, as if the chaos weren't enough, he adds a nice layer of corruption for everyone to see, and that is a special, special deal for his CEO donor, and that is an exception to the China deal for iPhones. You know, look, here's the problem. You can't get an economy strong and moving forward when it's loaded with chaos and corruption. Investors will not invest in the United States when Donald Trump is playing red light/green light with tariffs and saying, 'Oh, and for my special donors, you get a special exception.' People make investment decisions that are years into the future if they're going to build a factory or they're going to rehab an old factory or buy a bunch of new tools. And right now, with Donald Trump, nobody can figure out what the rules will be five days from now, much less five years from now."
