Seth Meyers, on Thursday, criticized Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs, which he argues have plunged the economy into a severe crisis by raising prices for consumers and escalating a trade war. He highlighted the contradictions in Trump’s campaign promises of lowering grocery prices while implementing tariffs, noting that such measures inevitably lead to higher costs. Meyers questioned the rationale behind these tariffs, calling them irrational and reflective of 'mafia-style governance.' He characterized the economic fallout as self-inflicted, with consequences worse than experts initially anticipated.
Trump's implementation of sweeping tariffs has ignited a trade war, raising consumer prices and deepening the economic crisis, with the market responding dramatically.
Meyers remarked on the paradox of Trump’s campaign promises, highlighting that the reality of tariffs contradicts the promise of lower prices: 'You can't impose tariffs and lower prices at the same time.'
The Late Night host criticized Trump’s approach as 'mafia-style governance designed to bully the world into submission,' calling the economic crisis a self-inflicted one.
