Reagan-era economist Art Laffer recently appeared on the FOX Business Network and praised Trump’s tariff plan. Laffer broke it down, even including what he sees as the apparent exit plan, describing it as a ‘win-win strategy.’
Laffer’s view is quite a change from the hair-on-fire approach to this topic embraced by the vast majority of the media. He even suggests that this will be better for other countries in the long run.
Of course, the biggest beneficiary will be the United States.
From the FOX Business Network:
Economist says Trump’s tariffs are a ‘win-win strategy’ to negotiate trade deals
Former Reagan economic advisor Art Laffer said Tuesday on “Varney & Co” that both the world and U.S. would see benefit from President Donald Trump’s tariffs and the trade negotiations that arise out of them…
“The win-win strategy is Trump is just phenomenal at negotiating,” Laffer said Tuesday, adding that he agreed with President Donald Trump that foreign countries getting hit with the president’s latest levies “have far higher tariffs and non-tariff barriers and quotas than we do.”
“But what he’s done now is he’s gotten them in a position where they’re going to lose their access to the U.S. market if they don’t redress these types of inequities that they’ve done,” the former Reagan economic advisor continued. “And Trump is a master negotiator, and I’m watching these people calling into Trump — this is exactly what he does beautifully and wonderfully — and I believe he can negotiate freer trade deals, get those tariffs way, way down, much lower than they are now, by primarily those people lowering their tariffs and us keeping ours low or even going lower, and it’ll be a win, win.”

Democrats and even some RINOs continue to shriek about this but of course, offer no alternative solutions. Trump is doing exactly what he promised in the campaign. He is putting America first.
