Not commenting on general trends, but in the specific case of this story: sometimes reality itself just isn't nuanced and one side is simply wrong. The current US administration's economic policy is disastrous. I don't see this is as a political statement, just a statement of fact. You don't have to be left leaning to agree with this statement. It's hard to imagine what "nuanced" takes one can make in good faith. The traditional defense of Trump's tariff threats that I've heard the most is that he isn't planning on actually doing it, that it's all 5D chess to force Canada and Mexico into concessions (whatever those may be). But that defense has been rendered obsolete by the fact that the tariffs are now here. So what nuance are you looking for, exactly? What is there left to say in defense of this economic policy? |
