As a result, the Trump tariffs are kind of the worst of all worlds. They aren't creating US jobs, even in the tariffed industries. They're a minimal revenue source. All they're doing is diverting U.S. imports to more expensive suppliers. Make Vietnam great again! 4/ — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Krugman @paulkrugman

They're also yielding very little revenue, in part because they've led to a sharp fall in imports from China. But we haven't been switching to domestic sources, at least not much. Instead, we've been shifting to other, higher-cost sources like Vietnam 3/ — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Krugman @paulkrugman

Trump is, of course, wrong to claim that China is paying the tariffs. The available evidence says that they're being almost entirely passed on to US consumers 2/ https://t.co/BjamSt7YxE https://t.co/OH16gwxTC3 — PolitiTweet.org

There is real "American carnage" – a surge in mortality and fall in life expectancy – but it's among less educated white people, and reflects deaths of despair rather than a crime wave. Trump's mind, such as it is, lives in 1975 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Krugman @paulkrugman

The white nationalism is out in the open. Also, I think this ties in with Trump's image of "American carnage" -- violence and social collapse driven by nonwhites – which is totally at odds with the reality of 2019 America 1/ — PolitiTweet.org
