Chuck Todd discusses the potential political ramifications of President Trump's tariffs on the stock market in a recent podcast. He notes that the tariffs could critically fracture support among Republicans, particularly among older voters who closely monitor the stock market. Todd compares Trump's situation to Biden's Afghanistan withdrawal, suggesting that the chaos surrounding tariffs may raise questions about Trump's competency, as it could lead to significant economic consequences. This developing narrative highlights the uncharted political territory affected by economic policy decisions.
I'm over 50, I'm having to look at it every hour... the people who are most likely to vote in midterms, they do.
This tariff business for Trump becomes a competency question. Wait a minute, you went about this all wrong and you caused an economic tsunami.
This could be politically catastrophic. You're rattling constituencies that are the ones most likely to show up to vote.
We're in very much uncharted territory right now.
