Trump Takes on Trade || Peter Zeihan Feb 27, 2025

Show notes

There's plenty of tools at the disposal of the US President and tariffs are one of them. When used appropriately - i.e., to get something else or discourage a certain action - tariffs can be a very effective measure. However, Trump is using them as an end, rather than a means to an end.

Imagine never paying income tax again. Sounds damn nice to me too. That's until reality kicks in and you start looking at the math on how large the tariffs would need to be to replace those taxes...
