We are fundamentally better people than they are.
When Democrats lose, they gracefully concede.
When Republicans lose, they try to overturn the election.
Both sides are not the same.

Krugman nails it.
I'll add, what does Bessent mean by "money" being fixed, we don't hold money supply fixed as a policy. Maybe he means wages? But why would some home produced goods fall in price if wages do not fall? It's possibly not even consistent.

People have been puzzling over Scott Bessent's claim that tariffs can't be inflationary — which is, by the way, completely different from Trump's claim that foreigners will pay. The thing is, there is a kind of model here — one that is clear, consistent, and totally false 1/

The pro-growth stuff that will be difficult to get through a 218ish-215ish House is definitely going to happen, and the anti-growth stuff he’s been saying forever that he’ll do and which he can do unilaterally on day 1 is a bluff for negotiating purposes.

You don't just start a trade war with our biggest trading partners promising to go "back to normal" if they comply with vague demands.
Supply chains are reworked. Old suppliers fired. Jobs are lost. Prices rise. Retaliatory tariffs are implemented.
This is a child's approach to trade relations.

Argentina has been a macro mess. Fixing it is a big challenge for any government: stop inflation, deficits, etc.
But one of the most impressive things about the new administration in Argentina are the microeconomic reforms:
