Oxfam reaction on President Trump’s “reckless use of tariffs”; represent “an attack on global working class”.
Turns “economic tool into a wrecking ball that slams in all directions” - in U.S. and countries worldwide.
Meanwhile, “peddles fiction” that they cover cost of tax breaks for billionaires.

What a choice; a defining photo for the new gilded age. An inauguration that makes clearer than ever the triumph of oligarchy - one that isn’t incidental but intrinsic to the politics and policies that we’re seeing set out.
