Democratic strategist James Carville critiqued President Trump's trade policies, attributing them to Trump's ego rather than solid substance. On 'The Beat,' Carville expressed concern over the uncertainty surrounding Trump's tariffs, which are seen as taxing the working class, and noted unusual conservative backlash from outlets like The Wall Street Journal. He highlighted how Trump's need for personal control manifests in international negotiations, undermining the seriousness of trade discussions, while predicting that Democrats will connect better with voters leading up to the 2028 elections.
I think voters are getting very, very apprehensive about this. No one can figure these tariffs out. When The Wall Street Journal editorial page, as you and I know and everybody who watches this thing knows, they're some of the most conservative people in the country.
Trump loves having foreign people call and say, Hey, can you exempt, you know, Finnish steel from these tariffs' or whatever it is, and it's all just a play. There's no policy behind it.
