'Makes no economic sense': Trump adviser flips on tariffs five months after praising them

[patphil]

7. The guy's supposedly and economist, but thought Trump's tariffs would be good for the economy.

He should give back the Masters of Arts in Economics he got from George Mason University.
Couple the loss of all the jobs this head-up-rectum tariff policy has cost us, plus the higher prices on imported goods, plus the lower revenue from exports, plus all the tourist dollars lost, plus investor jitters stifling new business growth, and the economy is going down the toilet by years end.
Oh, then we can add all the ill will this has caused us world wide. You can't put a price on that, but it will be expensive.
Oh, and don't forget the damage to the economy the mass deportation of immigrants has caused.

I guess he didn't see that Trump would weaponize the whole tariff thing, and try to bludgeon the economic world with it. He'd been around Trump long enough to know that's what would happen.
It's evident that 5 months ago he didn't have the skill to see how bad this economic policy would be, and how it was bound to wreck the economy. Or maybe he was just sucking up to get a good job in the administration.

Maybe Mr. Moore has finally given up on getting rewarded for his loyalty, and decide to bail to rescue his career.
