Ben Domenech, a Fox News contributor, reacted critically to President Trump's newly imposed tariffs of 10% on imports and higher tariffs on various countries. He noted the immediate drop in stock market indices following the announcement and warned that congressional Republicans could face backlash as a result of Trump's trade policy. Domenech expressed doubt about the positive effects of tariffs on the economy and questioned their alignment with Republican ideals, emphasizing that while some, like Vice President JD Vance, view tariffs as beneficial for American manufacturing, such a shift would take time and could cause short-term economic pain.
I think the president is undergoing a serious risk factor with this that is going to be felt by all of these Republicans that we have heard from today.
Look, I hate tariffs, I think they're stupid. I think they're backwards. I don't think they help the American economy.
The serious pain that has been inflicted with these tariffs is something that might be short-term, but short-term is relative in terms of the way that you measure it.
Domenech continued that it takes time to return manufacturing to the American heartland and that achieving this goal is not something that happens overnight.
