Do tariffs bring collateral damage? Trump 2.0 is not a problem.

Unseen tariffs were given by President Donald Trump on Wednesday with a decisive break with Mark with two -year -old free trade support. In some countries, even some economists and assistants, which contain at least 10% and are subject to much higher rates, agree that they will provide short -term economic pain. Mr. Trump approved this view and put aside the concerns about higher car prices.
Speaking at the Rose Garden, Mr. Trump promised to “grow as we’ve never seen before, because the increasing fears about a global economic decline sent financial markets to a tail point.
This risk embraces and any political sprinkle with it, this may be a feature, not the error of this management. From the tariffs to immigration practices, the re -dimensioning of the government, the war planning group conversations, Mr. Trump and his inner environment modeled the courage and recklessness to follow his goals. Analysts, Elon Musk and Foreign team – Silicon Valley Ethos, embodied by “fast movement, Breaking Things ,, instilled most of the administration on how to shape and deliver most of the administration on the agenda of Mr. Trump. In some cases, errors that appear – such as deportation of immigrants without the necessary process or Do wrong – It can also be seen as sending a message: that all immigrants may be subject to such treatment.
Why did we write this
Donald Trump’s second administration, from tariff policy to swelling of government, to tighten the borders, seems to be sure that some mistakes – even stagnation – is good if larger goals for the nation are presented.
Mr Musk clearly said, “He will make a mistake. We will not be perfect.” Told Fox business. “But when we make a mistake, we’ll fix it very quickly.” Mr. Trump told Fox in March As a result of his tariffs, he could not ignore a stagnation this year. “There is a transition period because what we do is very big. We bring weighing back to America.… It takes some time, but I think it must be great for us.” Similarly, Trade Secretary Howard Lutnick, Asked by CBS News He said, “It is worth it ,, to achieve the President’s goals about a possible stagnation from the tariff.
For voters who are disappointed with the status quo, who sees Mr. Trump as a change agent, the aggressive approach can be preferred for an extremely intentional process drowned in the bureaucracy. If errors occur, even serious self -harm damage, this is only unfortunate collateral damage.
“Most American government wants to see that the American government has withdrawn and shrunk, Mat we want to see that it has become more productive, Mat says Matt Wylie, a GOP strategist based in Southern Carolina.
From Project 2025 to Doge
In the first period of Mr. Trump, he frequently complained that he opposed the directives of some authorities under his own led or gently march. This time he has a more loyal team. And Mr. Trump knows the ropes better in Washington. Before taking office in January, the conservative groups had prepared a detailed agenda in the 2025 project, a plan to shrink the federal government and to reclaim regulatory supervision.
This plan was later charged by Mr. Musk, who chaired the radical restructuring of the federal bureaucracy of the Ministry of Government (DOE). In a few short months, all agencies were dismantled and tens of thousands of employees were fired or allowed.
Already, Dogge had to take back some things. After the courts decided that the government was acting illegally, some federal employees had to be restored. In other cases, the fires were reversed by Doge. Supervised freedom workers at the National Nuclear Security Administration, which controls nuclear weapons areas, were fired and then recalled. The process took some time Because the Doge government cut the e -mails and did not know how to communicate with them. Mr. Musk also froze an Ebola Prevention Program within the scope of the US International Development Agency in January, and claimed that he had restarted intact. Uganda discusses the USAID officials.
Detailed fire can reflect Mr. Musk’s personal disdain for federal employees and most of their work. In X, the social media platform, he underestimated federal workers as inefficient or lazy. He labeled the “radical Marxists” that leads others to democrats and democratic reasons.
George Thomas, a professor of American political institutions at Claremont McKenna College, has long hoped to shrink the federal government for a long time and put plans to do so. Mr Musk’s inclined line approach, so far, has achieved more than most of the anti -government crusaders before him, but it comes with open risks. “It seems to have no idea what these institutions do…[and] His ignorance is considered as a virtue, ”says Professor Thomas.“ It seems to be intended to destroy only American institutions. “
On Monday, the Ministry of Health and Human Services began to dismiss thousands of workers at agencies that control drug approvals, medical research, addiction services and other functions. Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. He said in x The deductions would not affect “basic health services ve and reorganized with the mission of focusing on preventing the department.
Mr. Trump said that personnel interruptions were the task of cabinet secretaries who should use a “scalpel” to remove low artists from agencies. “I want the cabinet members to hold people who do not do a good job and do not do a good job, unreliable, do not come to work, etc. The President told journalists last month.
The approach of Doge, which has already attracted a flood of case, can only provide modest financial savings. However, when Martin Gilens, Professor of Public Policy in UCLA, will not be known in the future when hollow agencies try to respond to a crisis. “Most of the results will be slow, or he says. Republicans argued that states should be supported by the capacity to respond to crises, so they are not dependent on federal agencies.
Giving priority to the speed on the negotiation
Unlike the first period of Mr. Trump, inexperienced management does not increase many important successes, it is likely that the second period will win greater wins in at least one and a half years of next year’s midterm exams. However, Professor Gilens, management’s achievements can seed their own collapse. “This time it seems that they cannot do what they want to face, the problems caused by doing what they want.”
This includes the application of wooden tariffs to allies and major trade partners, a policy that will be anathema as an anathema as a drag on growth and investment, most mainstream Republican until recently.
Trump said on Wednesday that tariffs planned to enter into force next week will encourage investment in US factories. “If you want your tariff rate to be zero, you will build your product here in America.” Analysts say that such investments have taken years and the uncertainty on the US trade policy – and the history of Mr. Trump’s history of using tariffs to force irrelevant concessions – businesses make it difficult for businesses to plan such investments.
The Senate voted on Wednesday to narrowly confirm A democratic decision against US tariffs in CanadaFour Republican supports it. White House officials, Mexico and Canada will be exempted from tariffs within the scope of a triple free trade agreement, he said.
Since tariffs expect voters to reduce prices, they can be a serious political responsibility for Mr. Trump. “Most voters believe that tariffs will mean higher prices for them now and in the long run, or he says. Mr. Trump and his team will have to “educate için that the voters of their voters claim that tariffs will have a positive impact on economy and personal finance.
Nevertheless, voters have a dim view of how the democrats are governed. President Joe Biden’s ratings have never healed the chaotic output of Afghanistan in his first year.
While the tariffs raised questions about economic risk, Mr. Trump’s management has shown trial in other fields. National Security Advisor Mike Waltz asked questions about the competence of the use of signaling, which is an insecure practice for a group of chats about a US bombing mission in Yemen. Mr. Trump defended Mr. Waltz and others in a conversation, including Vice President JD Vance, who accidentally included Atlantic’s editor. (Mr. Waltz also It has been reported that he used his personal gmail account For communication with other weapons.)
GOP strategist Mr. Wylie says “Signalgate” and the efforts of the administration to turn it as a great deal of reminiscent of the first period of Mr. Trump. This time, Republican voters were waiting for a more stable ship, and even though more internal harmony, the results have been confused – especially in Dogge, they called it a kültün perfect idea that was executed in a terrible way ”.
Part of the problem is probably to give priority to negotiation with the expectation of midterm losses in the Congress, Wylie says Wylie. It also sees a strategy to crush voters who do not have time to digest all the details of what the management is doing. “Tariffs and Domes destruction go hand in hand. It does not allow the American people to focus on what happened, or he says.
