Mara Gay: The Reality Is the Economy Is Showing Signs of Stress Because of Tariffs

EXCERPT:

GAY: “The idea with public service is that no matter who is in charge of the government, a Democrat or a Republican, that you can trust the numbers, that we're all dealing with the same set of facts. And I think, first of all, this is also a sign of weakness politically, because Americans understand that the economy is filled with uncertainty right now. If you are out there looking for a job, you know it's harder than it was a year ago. You know, Donald Trump, no matter who he fires, he can't fix that, because the reality is the economy is showing signs of stress because of these tariffs and all of -- all kinds of other measures that he's taken. And he doesn't want to acknowledge that.”
