Even if you think Trump is right about this spectacular exercise in economic self harm, if you’re a Republican politician, odds are strong that you disagreed with what he’s claiming 10 years — and in some cases 10 hours — ago. Maybe you’ve been studying the flimsy protectionist literature of the last decade and been convinced. But you probably are just outsourcing your judgment to partisan or personality cult bullshit. And if you’re not speaking out against this garbage you’re passively supporting it. Congrats. You own this crap.
