I wrote about this a lot during the Bush years: W's dishonesty on taxes and Social Security was a clear clue that he would be the kind of guy who would take us to war on false pretenses. 2/ https://t.co/F5dMdfl8Uf — PolitiTweet.org

Thinking some more about how @ewarren seems to be gaining ground by proposing concrete policies. Political pundits often prefer to talk about "character" rather than policy – but policy is often the best way to judge character 1/ https://t.co/3dD8OofspT — PolitiTweet.org

The narrative that Dems are obsessed with investigating rather than legislating is doubly stupid. First, they're doing a lot of legislating. Second, nothing can pass given R opposition – investigating is the only real power they have https://t.co/euYSRg43e8 — PolitiTweet.org

I mean, right after the 2016 election I wrote that "Cronyism and self-dealing are going to be the central theme of this administration," and that this would prevent an infrastructure deal. And so it has proved 2/ https://t.co/alnlqhyMBf — PolitiTweet.org

I'm on a brief vacation from my vacation, in a room entirely filled with men in gray suits. And I mean entirely (me too). So I'm taking a minute to say something about the upside of Trump's latest tantrum https://t.co/yLIY6Scv1N — PolitiTweet.org

I am very much still on vacation. But had to weigh in on trade war/recession talk. Trump policy is terrible, but US-China trade is well under 1 percent of world GDP. How is this supposed to work? — PolitiTweet.org

But an export subsidy? Maybe there's something I don't know, but that sure sounds like an expenditure that requires Congressional authorization. Am I missing some clause in the law? And is there any reason to believe that the Pelosi House would help Trump here? 3 — PolitiTweet.org

i don't just mean illegal under international trade law. I'm pretty sure that Trump lacks domestic authority too. US trade law gives the president huge discretion in imposing import tariffs, as long as he's willing to make a mockery of criteria like national security 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

Checking in after 30 miles cycling straight into the mistral. I gather that the trade war is proving good and easy to win ... meanwhile, about that Trump plan to take tariff revenue and use it to subsidize farm exports – aside from being lousy, impractical policy, it's illegal 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

The really big impacts of a trade war would be on smaller countries caught in the crossfire, and some groups within the US. Also lasting damage to US credibility. But a global recession, not so much. 3/ — 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

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

My problem with reports about why Trump is trade-rage-tweeting is that nobody on the inside is a reliable narrator. Did the Chinese actually walk their offer back? Or did Lighthizer, who wants confrontation, just say they did? 1/ https://t.co/z8jzHQ5GZc — PolitiTweet.org
