🧵via Chris Murphy, in part:

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.

No, the #tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition #Trump for relief. #trumptax

“In Trump’s first term, we were told: Don’t normalize him. In his second, the task is different: Don’t believe him,” our columnist Ezra Klein says.
