The Spin

Pro-Trump narrative

Trump's tariff strategy is essential to leveling the playing field for American businesses. For too long, the US has faced unfair trade practices from countries like China and the EU, which impose higher tariffs on American goods. By raising tariffs, Trump is protecting American jobs, boosting domestic industries, and reducing the trade deficit. It's a move that prioritizes American interests and ensures fairer competition in the global market.

Anti-Trump narrative

Trump's tariff threats against Europe are reckless and counterproductive. By pursuing a trade war, he risks hurting both American and European economies, driving up consumer prices and damaging vital trade relationships. This self-serving move undermines global cooperation and only benefits a wealthy few, while the real winners — China, Russia, and Iran — stand by and watch the chaos unfold.
