On air soon, alongside former Taoiseach Bertie Ahern and UCD's Nora Strecker, on Dublin NewsTalk's Pat Kenny Show to navigate the train wreck called #TrumpTariffs
I want to make sure folks see this. James Surowiecki on Xitter has figured out the formula used to compute the #trumpTariffs and it’s dumber than you ever expected. Like, STUPENDOUSLY stupid. I wouldn’t even be surprised if you told me they used AI to come up with this nonsenical scheme.

W Times Radio:
"This is one of most destructive nights in economic history. In the scenario started by Trump, the projected loss to the global economy will be $1.4 trillion.
What Donald #Trump has done is replicate the tariff increass of the 1930s — and you know what happened next."
"The Trump Tariff Tax is the largest peacetime tax hike in U.S. history. These Tariffs are nearly 10x the size of those imposed during the Trump-Pence Administration and will cost American families over $3,500 per year."
Mike Pence, of all people!
Surreal that Russia and North Korea have no #TrumpTariffs, but the unpopulated Heard and McDonald Islands do. Guess if there's no dictator there to write him a love letter, the tariffs apply.
#TrumpTariffs question:
Since it will be more costly to export to the US, could all other countries agree to lower the tariffs they might already have between each other? Can that compensate for the US loss?

'We here in the UK will take any action we need to give us the tools that we need to respond to the [##trumptariffs]"

'We will do bugger all and pray it doesn't get worse' is what he means
@eff @NBCNews
Tourism, thats another industry he will kill with these tarrifs and in general the way he is changing rhe US.
#trump #FuckTrump #trumptariffs
@GrahamDowns you are right. And we tried this during the depression with the Smoot-Hawley tariffs which was known to have exacerbated The Great Depression and made it longer.
These #TrumpTariffs are unforced errors that are predictably and predicted to ruin things and accomplish nothing positive for the US in the short, mid or long terms.
I made this to help people understand: Tariffs Are Taxes
Tariffs are taxes, on Americans, companies and individuals like you and me, whenever they buy something imported.
Look at your food, your clothes, your electronics, even your house: a huge portion is imports or made from imported materials. Plus the gasoline used to get it all to us.
#TrumpTariffs are a #tax on us.
Trump says new tariffs will boost US business; experts warn about inflation, trade wars — COLORADO COMMENT
“Coloradans shouldn’t be stuck paying for Trump’s broken promises to lower costs. These tariffs are bad for Colorado and bad for America.” — Sen. Hickenlooper
Ignorance, stupidity, and hubris is quite a cocktail.
Tomorrow is going to be an epic stock crash.
Trump's tariffs have been placed on every country in the world except Russia and North Korea.
The stock market dropped by like $2T in the first 2 minutes of Trump's speech.
Those fucking penguins. 
Uh-huh, looks like "Mother" Pence left the peach schnapps cupboard unlocked again... #mikepence #pence #usa #vppence #uspoli #tariffs #trumptariffs #tarifftax #trump #donalstrump #maga #mexico #canada
Frighteningly, #Mike_Pence is spot on. There is not an #Economist in the entire fucking world who thinks #TrumpTariffs are an intelligent thing to do. But then again the #GOP is closing #libraries, #museums, and #TheDepartmentOfEducation so they are on message. OMG I agree with #Mike_Pence. When you agree with #Mike_Pence, it's time to go to bed. Gnite.
