Remember When Republicans Hated Tariffs? They Should Again. nytimes.com/2026/11/06/opi… via @NYTOpinion

www.nytimes.com Opinion | Trump’s Tariffs Have Failed. Bring Back Reaganomics. The country needs a careful, restrained government — and always has.

Experienced enough to know that at times 1 is too many.

I have also talked to political consultants who I really trust, and they tell me Rs got crushed because they failed to enact:

1) corporate integration
2) neutral cost recovery for structures
3) BEAT repeal
4) S Corp Modernization Act
5) estate tax repeal + realization at death

And not just a few small taxes. Hundreds of billions of dollars each YEAR.

All enacted by ONE GUY (who told you to suck it up and buy fewer dolls/pencils).

And done in a HUGELY chaotic (and maybe corrupt?) way.

Maybe do more than whisper it.
