Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville makes it clear he’s completely clueless when it comes to the economic impact of Trump’s erratic on-again, off-again tariff threats which he may finally be following through on this week.
Tuberville made an appearance on Fox Business Network and was asked by host Larry Kudlow about Trump’s promised tariff rollout this Wednesday, on what Trump is calling “liberation day,” and Tuberville urged him to explain to the American public what the supposed benefits of the tariffs will be, before touting their plans to pass their massive tax cuts for the rich in the upcoming reconciliation bill.
KUDLOW: It sounds like Mr. Trump is going to give a Rose Garden speech to announce his tariffs, all right, Liberation Day on Wednesday. I think that’s a hell of a good idea if that is correct. I mean, I don’t think it should be something quick. I think you should lay it out.
Make it clear, as Wilbur Ross said, make it clear, make it simple so that Americans can understand we got a problem. The world trading system has been broken for decades. It’s unfair. It treats us horribly, and we’ve got to do something about it.
It’s going to be a big thing. You think he’s going to give a speech. Would you recommend to him that he give a full speech?
