The conservative New York Post broke ranks with MAGA world once again to issue a blunt “warning to President Donald Trump” about one of his signature economic policies.
“Everyone, including your friends, is starting to get a brutal case of tariff burnout,” the tabloid’s editorial board wrote this weekend.
The newspaper said it didn’t disagree with Trump’s penchant for slapping duties on imported products, but argued the “whiplash” of his on-off-on-off implementation of them is hiking uncertainty and angst among import-export businesses “that builds with every surprise twist.”
And “even fans of the president’s theater can get sick of endless drama,” it cautioned.
Earlier this month, the usually Trump-boosting Post slammed as “beyond awful” the optics of Trump’s willingness to accept a Boeing 747-8 from Qatar, to be used as Air Force One and then transferred to Trump’s post-presidential library.
