Even though I think that Trump's trade policy is foolish, I don't really understand the apocalyptic numbers some people are throwing around. Last year imports from China were 2.3% of GDP. A 25% tariff would be a tax increase of roughly 0.5% of GDP 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

Trump himself, of course, has no idea what he's doing. So predicting how this will all turn out is near-impossible 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

That's much less than Trump's fiscal expansion. So why would it be hugely contractionary? People often act as if there's something magically significant about trade policy, but they shouldn't. 2/ https://t.co/dg7HBlJcZ8 — PolitiTweet.org
