Editor’s Note: We clearly do not believe that the tariffs are going to cause a recession or that there will be massive pain from the tariffs President Donald Trump is planning on imposing on other nations. Nevertheless, it’s important to see and hear what legacy media is saying about it so we know what our “normie” friends are hearing. Here’s what WTVR CBS 6 says…
President Donald Trump on Monday set a 25% tax on goods imported from Japan and South Korea, as well as new tariff rates on a dozen other countries. Trump provided notice of the tariffs to begin on Aug. 1 by posting letters on Truth Social that were addressed to the leaders of the various countries. The letters warned them to not retaliate by increasing their own import taxes, or else the Trump administration would further increase import taxes. The higher tariffs could hinder economic growth, if not increase recession risks.
