• Liberation Day or Tariff Trap? Trump’s Economic Ouroboros in Action - Trump’s newly announced “worldwide reciprocal tariffs” are being sold as a patriotic push to restore domestic manufacturing, but in reality, they defy basic economics and operational logistics. The policy ignores the complexities of global supply chains, the high cost and time required to build competitive U.S. factories, and the fact that many raw materials and components still need to be imported — and are now tariffed. Rather than boosting production, these tariffs risk inflating costs for American businesses and consumers while offering no realistic path toward industrial self-sufficiency. Far from a liberation, the move resembles economic cosplay: performative, impractical, and likely short-lived. Ultimately, it’s American households who foot the bill for this misguided strategy — a policy powered more by political theater than practical results.
