Poor Execution of an Undefined Plan
Posted on 4/6/25 at 10:13 pm

Trump’s tariff policy is difficult to judge due to the complexity of trade policy. While some sectors benefit from protectionist measures, others suffer from higher costs or reduced access to foreign markets.
Regardless of the eventual overall impact of Trump’s tariffs, Trump’s approach was flawed due to the lack of a coherent plan. If a leader is going to unilaterally pursue a risky path—such as broad tariffs—they must have a clear reason and be able to articulate that reason. Trump failed to offer a consistent message or set measurable benchmarks. He undermined his own argument by misrepresenting other countries’ tariff rates.
The poor execution of an undefined plan resulted in uncertainty and eroded business confidence. In economic policy, unclear or misleading messaging can undermine even well-intentioned strategies.
It didn’t have to be this way. With a little more intelligence and tuning, Trump could have still aggressively pursued trade reform without the fallout. But he didn’t. He stepped on his dick, again. Another unforced error by the showman.

There has been absolutely nothing in this term of Trump that has been unplanned or poorly executed. Just because most people can't see where he is headed with this at this point doesn't make it either.

We are in Day 5 of a major action taken by Trump.
Call it chaotic or whatever but I believe it was sort of orchestrated that way. Get messy & use your leverage.
Time will tell what will happen but judging 5 days into a major shake up is premature

Bringing fairness to our trading relationships is a worthy and needed objective. We've been taken advantage of for a long time. I do agree that Trump has been ham handed in the execution. We'll see how it plays out.

If we’ve lost Jon Ham we’re doomed.

Are you serious? Trump could cure cancer and save baby kittens from a fire and the left would skyscream that he's a Nazi.

That's pretty fricking stupid to say, just on the basis of RFK saying 20% of the cuts at HHS were mistakes.

Musk has said repeatedly, repeatedly if they cut something they could put it back in
Vaughn at OMB Said the fed govt had over a million unneeded credit cards, rather than go through one by one, he cut the credit limit to a dollar and let the departments come to him to argue who needed them, they ended up getting rid of 1.3 million.
Let me ask you a question, if Bama completes 80% of its passes this fall......would you consider that a failure? Well would you? Or would you just never throw a pass and have a perfect passing record.....and lose every game? That would be stupid wouldnt it.

Quick.
What was Ron’s plans not to have run away inflation in two years when we end up printing more money to pay debt?

Thoughtful comments are a waste on posters like this guy. Justva down voter is sufficient.
