Murdochlandia revolting against Trump
The Wall Street Journal editorial board took a swipe at President Trump’s recent tariff threats, alleging the administration is using a 48-year-old law to start a trade war.
In a recent op-ed, the board warned of a possible jolt in consumer prices once the tariffs go into full effect and urged someone to file a lawsuit in response.
“The President invokes a law that doesn’t give him power to impose sweeping tariffs,” they wrote in the article’s subhead. “Someone should sue.”https://www.msn.com/en-us/politics/g...fs/ar-AA1AxdhA“He’s treating the North American economy as a personal plaything, as markets gyrate with each presidential whim,” the board wrote. “It’s doubtful Mr. Trump even has the power to impose these tariffs, and we hope his afflatus gets a legal challenge.”
We lost Murdoch 5 years ago.

Are they actually going to modernize their plants this time or just up production in their ty plants while it's more profitable?
There has already been a jolt in grocery prices just from that got's threats. Can't believe this is what these heads wanted, but this time inflation is patriotic per Fox News.
Damn, Biden really got things under control, didn't he?
Nonetheless...

President Donald Trump has promised to power the economy by imposing tariffs on foreign goods and materials.https://www.businessinsider.com/tari...ruction-2025-3Instead, the duties are heaping new costs on commercial real estate development projects in the US as prices rise sharply for core building components like steel, aluminum, copper, and tiling.
Joseph Taylor, the CEO of Matrix Development, a New Jersey-based warehouse developer, said that his company recently ran into tariff impacts on the steel it is buying to erect a warehouse in Newark, New Jersey.
"I can tell you steel is up 8-10%" for the project, Taylor said, noting that the increases had driven up the planned building's costs by about $2 million.
Another developer planning a more than $100 million warehouse outside of Washington, DC, meanwhile, said that Nucor, a North Carolina-based steel manufacturer that he had tapped to make the structural beams for the project, alerted him in recent days that prices were rising 15% on his $12 million order.
The developer was able to lock in his original price because he had made a reservation for the steel, but he now anticipates the project's construction costs will rise by about 10% overall because of the impact of tariffs on other materials, such as steel rebar in the project's concrete foundation, as well as growing charges for insulation and roofing.
The developer said that the increases would eat into his forecast returns for the development.
"It's going to be harder to get new projects going," the developer said.

Excellent. All of that stuff is poison and has led to nothing but death, suffering and the destruction of men, women and American families.
Alcohol is a drug for sure, a legal one according to common usage and custom.
Alcohol abuse is often destructive, biologically and socially.
But "nothing but?"
