Who Killed the Economy? By Craig Bergman
"Trump killed the Stock Market" and then came the rant of "history" of Tariffs. So here you go so this is not lost.
Saying Tariffs are historically bad, is neither history nor a lesson. And it is false in almost all the assumptions. Like taking facts and making a narrative of them which is not at all what did, is, or will happen.
The main narrative in all this are three lies. And yes I do mean, the intentional effort to manipulate, deceive, then take unjust advantage over another. Commandment breaking: Lie.
I say that just in case anyone may think I mean, a difference of opinion. I mean intentional misrepresentation of fact for ill gain.
So, here they are:
Free trade is possible. Not in a fallen world. And not with partners who take your money build armies, navies, and state directly their intent to destroy you. That is China. Why do we trade with them and not say Russia?
Why did the USSR's economy falter and China's did not? We gave our trade money to China and we have had sanctions on and off with Russia for 100 years.
And a lessor degree with Europe who is pretty far now from a free and moral people, if that matters to anyone. It does to the definition of FREE.
As for Canada and Mexico, those are totally different Tariffs and are far more political than anything to do with economics. Although since NAFTA days this same "slave labor is OK look the other way" mentality has been expanding. This is the very other side of the same coin politically.
Cheap labor was the primary driver of the Civil War. We only framed it as a moral issue because, well, it was a moral issue too.
But the main claim is "the market". Seriously? And then to bring up the Great Depression? And Tariff acts? It was the INCOME TAX people. It was 90%.
They KILLED the creation of capital. Period. Full Stop. The Lie of the left for the near last 100 years since has been, it wasn't US, it was those Republicans and their Tariffs.
They lie then, they lie now, about everything. Every Single Thing.
There is NO truth in them. Why believe this ONE lie as if they are not doing the same thing on this? Then believe your own lying eyes.
The Dow one year ago. Today. Was 38,500. Today is it 40,500. UP 2000. What in what world is that a problem?
And yes it will go up and down, as millions bet against each other. It IS a market after all.
So bet. 2026 April 4th. Which will be be: 41, 500+ or 37,500-??
Go short it. I dare ya. I double dog dare ya. Not only is the headline horrid, it is intentionally so.
And I am betting on the 41K over that 37K. 100% no question at all.
