Scaramucci warns Trump must 'change tactics now' on trade

Former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci took aim at President Trump's ongoing trade feuds on Saturday, saying he was worried that trade rhetoric was "going too far."

"Spent the day reading:I am worried about the trade rhetoric going too far," Scaramucci tweeted Saturday. "Signs are there: capital is starting to [withdraw] from stocks. The [markets] are signaling a lot more risk the flash 2q GDP report which may be a one time moonshot followed by the Big unwind."

Scaramucci added that Trump needed to "change tactics now."

Trump has helped drive an escalating trade war with some of the United States's closest longtime trade allies since his announcement last month that the U.S. would impose stiff tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from the European Union, Canada and Mexico.

Will be a huge hit to Trump states and rural economies in those states. My own state, Missouri, will take a big hit. I'll bet Trump's hotel and golf businesses are fine though. If they were affected by a trade war, I don't think Trump would be starting one.
