During a recent episode of his podcast, Bill Maher admitted that he was wrong about Trump’s tariffs saying ‘I gotta own it.’ Maher may be a liberal but it sure is refreshing to hear someone in media admit they were wrong about something regarding Trump.
It’s impossible to ignore Trump’s economic strategy now that he has successfully negotiated fantastic trade deals with everyone from Japan to the European Union.
When are Democrats and the majority of cable news hosts going to admit that they were also wrong? We won’t hold our breath.
The Daily Caller has details:
Although many economists predicted that Trump’s widespread tariffs would cause higher inflation and other negative effects, several economic indicators have shown strength. Maher said on his podcast that he was among those forecasting economic doom that has not materialized thus far, based on the stock market and his own experience.
“I remember I, along with probably most people, were saying at the beginning, ‘Oh, you know, by the 4th of July’ — somebody had a thing — how the economy was going to be tanked by then,” Maher said. “And I was kind of like, ‘Well, that seems right to me.’ But that didn’t happen. Now, it could happen tomorrow. I’m just saying that’s reality.”
“[T]he truth is, I don’t know what his strategy is. But look, the stock market is at record highs. I know not everybody lives by the stock market, but I also drive around,” he added. “I don’t see a country in a depression at all. I see people out there just living their lives. And I would have thought — and I gotta own it — that these tariffs were going to fucking sink this economy by this time — and they didn’t.”

If things keep going the way they are now, a lot of Democrats and cable news hosts are going to have to eat a lot of crow. Trump is transforming the global economy and making it better for America every day.
