Bob Woodward Compares Trump’s Tariffs to ‘Throwing Bombs of Ignorance’
‘If there was real benefit, we’d feel it in the economy now’
EXCERPT:
WOODWARD: "He is obsess — he thinks tariffs are good remedy. Well, tariffs are a tax on consumers. I mean, consumers wind up paying. There may be some benefit, but if there was real benefit, we’d feel it in the economy now. And we basically have a good economy that he’s meddling with in a way, throwing bombs of ignorance right in the middle of a process that, you know, should be allowed to go on naturally. It’s a shame. And it has a real impact on people. You just can’t — it’s not the stock market, but it has an impact on prices. It has an impact on the stability that people feel in their own lives and in the institutions. Very frightening time for citizens of the United States."
