唐纳德·特朗普: 我认为我的关税政策进展顺利，这就像一场手术，最终结果会像我预料的那样。 我宣布了一项对等关税制度，对来自世界各国的进口商品征收关税，理由是这些国家几十年来对美国出口商品的歧视性待遇。这基于总统宣布的国家紧急状态，原因是我们的贸易逆差。 我降低了关税税率，因为我是一个仁慈的独裁者，想表现得友好一些。 Scott Lincicome: 特朗普政府的关税政策在经济上毫无意义，缺乏经济学上的支持。关税计算方法简单粗暴，没有考虑经济因素。 特朗普的关税政策会导致其他国家采取报复性措施，包括对美国出口商品征收关税，以及采取非对称报复措施，例如针对美国的投资和知识产权。 即使知道会对自己造成损害，各国也会采取报复措施以阻止进一步的负面行为。 特朗普的关税政策导致市场担忧，不确定性增加，这会影响到投资者的信心，并对经济增长造成负面影响。 特朗普的关税政策可能会导致消费者焦虑，物价上涨，并影响经济增长。 Ted Cruz: 关税是对消费者的税收，我不喜欢提高美国消费者的税收。我希望这些关税能够短期存在。 Jane Koston: 特朗普的关税政策对股市、企业和普通美国民众造成了混乱。 特朗普推出“金卡”计划，这与他前一天宣布的关税政策形成了鲜明对比，显示出其对民众关切的漠视。 极右翼网络人物劳拉·卢默对美国国家安全委员会的招聘决策有影响力，这令人担忧。 特朗普政府对医疗基础设施和疫苗科学的攻击正在危及美国人的生命。

Shownotes Transcript

If Wednesday was ‘Liberation Day’ in America, then Thursday was its day of reckoning, as the reality of President Donald Trump’s decision to levy steep tariffs on dozens of countries set in. Financial markets around the world cratered. In the U.S., stocks lost more than $3 trillion in market value, registering their largest one-day drop since the start of the pandemic. But none of it seemed to bother Trump, who said of the fallout from his tariff announcement, ‘I think it’s going very well.’ Scott Lincicome, vice president of general economics and trade policy at the Cato Institute, tells us everything we need to know about Trump’s tariffs.

And in headlines: The Pentagon’s acting inspector general said he’ll review Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s use of the Signal app to discuss military plans, the White House threatened to withhold funding from public schools over DEI programs, and lawyers for a Tufts University student detained by immigration officials asked a judge to keep her case in New England.
