The only way to stop the bleeding in the U.S. government bond market is for Congress to reclaim its tariff authority from the Trump administration and restore order and economic rationale to trade policy. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...
Tariff Turmoil Will Continue Unless Congress Steps In
An erratic reversal in policy gave some short-term relief. But only legislation can impose order on this administration.

News Analysis: As the breadth of the Trump revolution has spread across Washington in recent weeks, its most defining feature is a burn-it-down-first, figure-out-the-consequences-later recklessness. The costs of that approach are now becoming clear.
Analysis: Trump’s Tariffs Disrupt Global Trade Without a Clear Strategy
The global trading system is only one example of the administration tearing something apart, only to reveal that it has no plan for how to replace it.

I’m Turkish. X suspended 700+ justice & democracy protesters’ accounts at our gov’t’s demand. We see it as Musk collaborating with Erdoğan. That’s why we’re on Bluesky; most of us may even close our X accounts ourselves, and some already have.

Opposition from civil society is no doubt important, but it's effective, organized, *unified* political opposition that is needed to reverse the authoritarian slide. That at least is the lesson I draw from (the failures of the opposition parties in) Erdogan's Turkey. Looking at you, Democrats!

Erdogan, during his tenure as Mayor of Istanbul in 1990s famously stated “Democracy is like a train: when we reach our destination, we get off.” More than 2 million people gathered today in Istanbul (despite a 9 day holiday) to show Turkish people’s commitment to democracy.
NEW: Today in Instanbul, Turkey.

A people fighting for democracy & against authoritarianism. This is how you do it!

Chairman of Republican People’s Party, Özgür Özel:

“Today, 2.2 million of our citizens overflowed Maltepe Square. This is just the beginning. This nation will not remain silent.” 🇹🇷

Perhaps April 2, 2025, will be remembered as the day when Trump himself initiated the liberation process of the U.S. from the incompetent Trump Administration.
Trump may well achieve his goal of reducing the US trade deficit, but via the worst possible way: engineering recession at home and removing America’s and USD’s status as trusted safe haven. It would be a poorer, hostile nation but with trade surplus. Sort of like Russia. Some win.

Tariffs are a distraction. They will not create jobs or help the middle class; the effect on the trade balance (if you care about it) will be small. The obsession with trade and manufacturing obscures that revitalizing the middle class requires focusing on services, where the jobs are/will remain.
Unilateral across-the-board tariffs by Trump will do some damage to the US economy, but not a whole lot. The real damage would come if other countries retaliate, leading to downward trade spiral. But, honestly, why should they? Let the US damage its own economy. +
