Ben Shapiro on this issue during his show today:
“I've said this a thousand times, this is not coming from a place of I want Trump to fail.
It's coming from a place of if he engineers a recession, based on these sorts of tariffs, which seems increasingly likely if you were to stick with this. If you were to do that sort of thing, all of the amazing things that need to happen that he is pursuing and that his administration is filled with good people who want to do, all that stuff goes by the wayside. A bad economy kills everything around it.
It is the neutron bomb of politics. If you drop the neutron bomb of politics, a recession into the lap of this administration, it doesn't just destroy this administration's economic agenda, it destroys the administration wholesale. That is what happens in American politics.
Recessions destroy administrations. And by the way, everyone close to them, all the tech bros get destroyed. All the business people get destroyed.
It's really important not to self-engineer a bad economy. Really quite important. It's, it is frustrating at the very least because this has not been well justified by literally anyone, including members of the Trump administration.”
This is the start of a radical plan to rewrite the global economy.
