The unpredictability of America for the foreseeable future is more serious than the tariffs themselves. Companies can’t make long-term decisions if policy is made and changed on a whim. Much of the rest of the world will respond by creating U.S.-free supply chains.

Walz: "It's like Trump is stuck in the '80s. His music, his clothing, his thinking. He's been on this tariffs thing forever and every economist will tell you they just don't work ... I think the biggest myth perpetuated on this country is that Trump understands anything about business."
