Trump's tariffs and why you shouldn't pearl-clutch over them

I understand why tariffs are a concern, but Trump’s tariffs aren’t the usual heavy-handed approach. They'll be different and more strategic.

Unlike broad tariffs, his tariffs will be focused. They won't indiscriminately hit every industry or country unlike what every CNN commentator says. Instead, they will target specific areas like steel and aluminum, as well as countries like China, to address unfair trade practices and economic imbalances.

This won't be chaos for the sake of it—it will be a calculated effort to solve problems that have plagued American businesses for years. It also will give us leverage in trade negotiations.

Also, these measures will encourage domestic production. By making certain imports pricier, they nudge businesses to buy American-made goods, keeping important industries alive and safeguarding jobs right here in the states. True, there may be some short-term cost increases for a small amount of things, but the aim is a stronger manufacturing base and less reliance on foreign imports.

This is not the blunt, sweeping tariff policies of old. These are targeted and will be meant to fix broken systems, not break them even further. So, show a bit of composure and stop worrying so much. The Boss will be in control.
