West Wildwood - Trump and his advisers have repeatedly rejected the notion that Trump’s tariff plan could backfire in any way. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said that Trump’s plans for tax cuts and deregulation will help lower inflation, perhaps counteracting the effect of tariffs. “It is going to work,” Leavitt said. Well, that makes me feel better. If Trump is so sure his tariffs will benefit Americans maybe he, Musk and his billionaire cabinet members could put up 100 percent of their assets as a hedge bet just in case it doesn’t. Hey, it’s a lock, right?
