Let’s talk about Donald Trump's tariffs

America’s national tariff conversation has been a whirlwind.

Republicans, stereotypically regarded as staunch free-market defenders, tend to support the protectionist proposals. Democrats, meanwhile, generally thought to favor government market manipulation, are totally against this type of interference.

Those factors make for a complicated dynamic. How will this end? Is the Trump administration really going to implement the tariffs against Canada and Mexico? Or is the threat just a bluff for negotiations? And what about this debate made Chuck Schumer feel inclined to crawl out of his office and wave a Corona in the American people’s faces?

Saudi Arabian billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal understands both the tariff game and what it’s like to make a deal with Donald Trump, making him uniquely equipped to analyze what the White House really wants to get out of this. He joined The Tucker Carlson Show to break down this global economic chess match, explain some solutions to the madness unfolding in the Middle East, dive into the West’s widespread normalization of radicalism, and more. 

Prince Alwaleed bin Talal tells Tucker:

“Some people do [hold the U.S. responsible for what’s happened in Gaza], and they capitalize on the very positive and strong alliance between the United States and Israel. But realistically speaking, what happened there was really Israeli-based.”

These are the corporate media’s dying days.

Look no further than the Trump administration’s first White House press briefing for proof.

“Millions of Americans, especially young people, have turned from traditional television outlets and newspapers to consume their news from podcasts, blogs, social media, and other independent outlets,” press secretary Karoline Leavitt told the stunned press corps.

The establishment’s lies caused this. Truth seekers across the country are sick of their propaganda. The Biden administration prolonged their survival, but only temporarily. Their time is running out. Thanks to backing from our members, our independent journalism operation is here to stay.
