Trump has no idea what he’s doing, and America’s financial standing in the world, as well as the security that comes with it, is forever diminished.
Note: Today’s episode of TNL was recorded before President Trump rescinded some of his tariffs, which the GOP then claimed was part of his brilliant plan all along. We think this commentary on the chaos, economic uncertainty and long term consequences of Trump’s tariffs still stands. Enjoy!

https://www.youtube.com/watch/nSKFR61p9Mg Summers: Trump’s trade war the “worst self-inflicted wound since WWII” | Ian Bremmer | GZERO World
On a scale of 1-10, how irritated is former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers by the Trump administration’s escalating trade war? He’s at an 11. On a special edition of GZERO World with @Ian_Bremmer, Summers says he is highly concerned with the White House’s ad hoc and escalating imposition of tariffs, which he describes as the “worst, most consequential, self-inflicted wound in US economic policy since the Second World War.”
He believes that even if the tariffs are reversed, the US has already lost significant credibility globally, which will have long-term consequences for the country’s ability to sell debt, form security alliances, and conduct economic and foreign policy.
Summers, formerly the president of Harvard University, also tells Ian that he’s more than a little disappointed by the lack of public pushback from US institutions and business leaders, though he understands the complexities they face in speaking out against the administration.
But economics aside, Summers is more worried about the threat to American democracy and the rule of law than the health of the US and global economy. Economic damage can be reversed but erosion of democratic norms is harder to recover from.

https://www.youtube.com/watch/pk8ApOy5jZI Even MAGA Can’t Defend Trump’s Economic Dumpster Fire | The Bulwark Podcast
Part of the reason for the market bloodbath is because the finance wizzes didn’t factor in that Trump would actually do the truly moronic thing he kept saying he would. Their shock over his recklessness is intensifying the crash. Meanwhile, a trio of administration fools trying to defend the tariffs—Lutnick, Bessent, and Hassett—showed there is no grand design to the trade war, White House infighting is getting hot enough that even Elon is subtweeting Trump, and the folks we elected over on the Hill could actually do something to try to stop the market carnage. Plus, new reporting on our government’s kidnapping of migrants, Republicans in North Carolina are trying to steal a supreme court seat, and where is JD Vance? Bill Kristol joins Tim Miller.
