Well, first of all, you're publishing an "alleged" contradiction, because the NYT story is based on a leak.

The findings from the White House Council of Economic Advisers have been circulated only internally and not publicly released, as is often the case with the council’s work, making the exact economic projections unknown.

But hey, feel free to circulate the fake news.

The point is, however, that in posting the NYT story, you're also pushing the idea that tariffs "must" be hurtful, and Trump is "stupid" for using them.

However, both Trump and Schumer are both asking for Canada to address the "dairy" tariff. So I guess they both want to "hurt economic growth", as your leaked, fake news NYT article contends?


I'm not making this claim, but it wouldn't surprise me if Trump and Schumer were working out some kind of deal with Trump addressing one of Schumer's policy concerns. I wonder what Trump might get in return, if true?

There you go, putting words in my mouth, and completely missing the point again. Sigh. No wonder you’re a Trumpie, you just don’t get much of anything.

Apparently you don't even "get" the essential elements (or absence of) of the NYT story that you posted.

You don’t ever bother to think, you just react. You’re exactly like Donny. What an idiot.
