As most of the media projected doom and gloom kvetching over their predicted negative aspects of President Donald Trump's tariffs, there was a rather contrarian view on this subject from a very surprising source: Nahal Toosi, Politico's senior foreign affairs correspondent.
She conceded that the tariffs could ultimately turn out to be successful as she wrote on Saturday in "Why Trump May Get Away With His Tariff Trauma."
Has Toosi been somehow red-pilled? Not likely since as recently as last December she attempted via her reporting to get the incoming Trump administration hopelessly entangled in the Syria mess. However, whatever the motivation, it is very interesting that she diverged sharply from the prevailing media narrative on the subject of tariffs.

“Get away with” = Trump was right.
So per Politico, if trump is successful with tariffs and restores America he is in fact “getting away” with something and that is a bad thing, better America suffer and lose than Trump should even be credited with actually helping the country.
Hate they name is Politico.
Can we just ditch this word?
It is over used for things that are, at worst, a booboo.

Per the above, which is ftom 2020, Ms. Toosi was born in Iran.
Wonder if that might explain a lot...
“Get away with it” huh?
It must really eat the heart out of liberals to see tariffs are working.
Hmmm, looky here: “The European Commission has offered the United States a deal to remove tariffs on all industrial goods as part of the trade negotiations, Ursula von der Leyen has said while stressing her intention to retaliate against Donald Trump’s policies should talks fail.”
More negotiation, just what Trump loves.
“”Trump May Get away with it””
He might expose the corrupt and help America. Oh my God we must stop him!
Trump doesn’t get away with anything. He is a winner. He is not an ideologue or politician. Winners evaluate their situation and form a plan that they implement and judge. If things go into the crapper the winner reevaluates and tries again. The winner doesn’t stop until he figures it out and gets where he wants to be.
Setting the stage for why all their doom and gloom predictions didn’t pan out.
bkmk
Keep in mind that the falling stock prices due to uncertainty from the tariffs will see people shift from equities to bonds and US Treasuries. That increased demand puts downward pressure on interest rates. For every decrease of one basis point (0.01%), the burden of the interest on the federal debt falls by $1 billion PER DAY! Not a bad thing!
So far today, the stock prices have NOT fallen by much. Certainly nowhere near the "Collapse" that the liberals were praying for.
