And for what? Donald Trump’s petty trade war isn’t lowering costs or strengthening our economy, it’s doing the opposite — costs are skyrocketing, our economy is tanking before our eyes, and now thousands of Kentucky families face even more uncertainty. “Tariffs have a time and a place, but they must be strategic and focused in order to accomplish their intended goal and limit collateral damage. Not only are Trump’s on-again, off-again tariffs chaotic, they are overly broad, lack any real strategy or end game beyond wielding power just for the sake of it, and will hurt American manufacturing, not revitalize it.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T00:15:27Z |
