Summary
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, a leading advocate for “Liberation Day” tariffs scheduled for April 2, faces growing criticism within Trump’s administration.
Sources indicate Lutnick will likely be blamed if the tariffs backfire economically, with insiders describing him as giving Trump “bad advice” and pushing “crazy” aggressive tariff policies, unlike Treasury Secretary Bessent’s more measured approach.
While White House spokesperson Desai maintains the administration is unified, corporate America fears significant economic damage.
Trump reportedly enjoys the uncertainty, expecting nations to “grovel” for deals to avoid punitive tariffs.
Or assassinations the list of autocrats who ended up dead because they pissed off their inner circle is long indeed. All it’d take for Trump to die is for one of his inner circle to get burned at the wrong time and oops Trump was pushed down the stairs and broke his hip.
If Trump went near stairs maybe. Escalators and Airforce 1 are the only ones I can even imagine.
