Trump’s 40-year economic playbook is finally being used. Will it revive the middle class or crush consumers?
Trump has been harping on the idea of tariffs for 40 years — using tariffs, tax cuts, and fewer regulations to bring factories, jobs, and innovation back home.
The plan hits multiple levers — fairer trade (matching foreign tariffs), lower taxes for 90% of earners (<$150K), and faster factory approvals — aiming to fix a $1.9T deficit and rebalance the economy.
If it works, more stuff gets made here, more people get jobs, and America gets stronger. If it flops, prices rise and the economy slows.
Would love to hear other povs out there...
