Looks Like Wall Street and GOPe Has Picked Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to Attack for Tariffs They Hate

Wall Street, the Bankers, the Hedge Funds, the multinational corporations, K-Street Lobbying firms, Democrats, Republicans, leftists, globalists, and every other segment of the financial media who define themselves through the prism of their bank accounts, need someone else to blame for the Trump tariffs; because Trump doesn’t care.

It looks like the professional political class have decided to focus all financial firepower against Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.

With the anticipated reciprocal tariffs announcement tomorrow, Liberty Day as President Trump calls it, the high-finance multinationals and Wall Street crowd are going bananas. Here come the hits against Lutnick.

(Politico) -‘I don’t know anyone that isn’t pissed off at him’: Trump world turns on Lutnick. As ‘Liberation Day’ nears, patience for the Commerce secretary is wearing thin across the Trump administration. (read more)

(New York Post) – Frustration grows with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick ahead of Trump tariff announcement: ‘Loose cannon with half-baked ideas’ (read more)

Two people close to the administration, overheard the brother of someone who works at the White House saying something about tariffs. Therefore, it has to be Howard Lutnick’s fault, or something.

Another source “familiar with the situation,” because he looked up The White House on Google to see a map of the area, said it was “100%” accurate that annoyance with Lutnick is growing, reiterating concern about him talking too loosely in public as well as inserting himself into the administration action.

10% of this country cares, plus the Asian middle classes who have benefited from 50 years of American Trade stupidity.

Wall Street can rot in hell. Make it in America, or don't make it at all.

Isn't President Trump's using tariff threats to bring manufacturing back to the United States? He's already gotten nearly $1 trillion in commitments from foreign businesses to build manufacturing plants in the United States.

I have a feeling that much of the talk of tariffs will not materialize, at least not to the crippling extent that the LAAP-dog media is portraying to aid the Democrat comeback.

I think that President Trump is hoping to rebuild our manufacturing base to: 1) close the national security threat of the United States not being able to produce its own war materiel should we need it, 2) not be beholden to our adversaries for critical needs like medicines, steel, lumber, and other raw materials, and 3) bring the jobs back home to rebuild the middle class.
