When Donald Trump first campaigned in 2015, he capitalized on a potent narrative: that China’s rise gutted American manufacturing, leaving countless blue-collar communities devastated. Known now as the “China shock,” that idea paved the way for a dramatic resurgence in protectionism, culminating in sweeping tariffs including Trump’s controversial “Liberation Day” duties. Yet we continue to learn just how shaky the theory’s foundations are.

These two government-created and government-sponsored enterprises encouraged lenders to issue risky home loans by effectively making taxpayers cosign the mortgages.

If you voted for Donald Trump last November because you believed he’d increase economic freedom, it’s safe to say you were fooled. Following a reckless tariff barrage, the White House and its allies are preparing a new wave of tax-code gimmickry that has more in common with progressive social engineering than pro-growth reform.
