The Spin

Anti-Trump narrative

Trump's erratic tariff policies have caused uncertainty and shaken confidence in the US economy. Business leaders are left confused by his inconsistent approach — one day, tariffs are on, and the next, they're off. This instability harms long-term planning and business growth. Despite the administration's claims, tariffs are taxes on Americans — increasing costs for consumers without delivering clear benefits.

Pro-Trump narrative

President Trump's tough stance on tariffs has proven effective in protecting American interests. By raising tariffs on Canadian goods, he successfully pressured Ontario to suspend its retaliatory tariff on electricity exports. This shows that Trump's bold approach works, forcing other countries to negotiate fairer deals. His tariffs defend US industries, create leverage, and prioritize American workers over foreign competitors.
