The app for independent voices

Listing to you and Jared reminding me of an aspect of the Trump tariffs that I don't think gets enough attention (and admittedly it's secondary or tertiary to the inflationary impact) is the mixing of tariffs with Trump's penchant for authoritarianism and punishing enemies and rewarding allies...imagine impacted businesses coming before the king asking for the inevitable exception from tariffs for their company.....the inevitable corruption and resultant picking of winners and losers by ONE man should make every ALLEGED conservative's head explode. He'd LOVE and abuse that sort of power and there'd be zero legal consequences for it and tragic impact on our economy. Would that argument help sway any of those "gettable" Republicans/independents or would they have the failure of imagination and/or just say that's TDS thinking?
