Description

Financial Times columnist Soumaya Keynes and Chad P. Bown of the Peterson Institute for International Economics sit down with Jon Stewart to discuss their forthcoming book, "How to Win a Trade War." They talk about Trump’s disregard of the most basic military strategy by starting a trade war on all fronts, how this administration's imposed tariffs revealed U.S. trade vulnerabilities, the debate over whether corporations are the soldiers or mercenaries of trade wars, and how wage insurance could transform job security for domestic workers. #DailyShow #TradeWar #Trump Subscribe to The Daily Show: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwWhs_6x42TyRM4Wstoq8HA/?sub_confirmation=1 Follow The Daily Show: Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheDailyShow Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedailyshow Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedailyshow Stream full episodes of The Daily Show on Paramount+: http://www.paramountplus.com/thedailyshow Follow Comedy Central: Twitter: https://twitter.com/ComedyCentral Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ComedyCentral Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/comedycentral About The Daily Show: Jon Stewart and The Best F**king News Team host The Daily Show, an Emmy and Peabody Award-winning program analyzing the biggest stories in news, politics, and culture through a sharp, satirical lens.

He said he'd run the country like his businesses. He's doing just that - sending it bankrupt

What this interview confirmed: A comedian host of an entertainment news program knows way more about foreign economic policy than the miller administration - as basically confirmed by two fairly mute guests who do know what they're talking about, but were seemingly afraid to talk.

Soumaya Keynes is the great-great-niece of John Maynard Keynes, the guy they named Keynesian economics after. xD

Tariffs are taxes on consumers. Trump taxed us twice, first through tariffs, then by giving our tax dollars to corporations, who don't pay taxes.

Interesting tidbit from Wikipedia: Soumaya Keynes is the great-great-niece of John Maynard Keynes and also the great-great-great-granddaughter of Charles Darwin.

So basically the solution was to not elect someone who bankrupted multiple businesses to run a country. Failing that, not to elect him again. Now we gotta wait years and years to fully recover from this. And that's pretending more wars, pandemic, climate change, blocked trade routes, don't disrupt the recovery... Yeah, optimistic is right.

We had a South Korean company to help us and ice came along, proving we are not a reliable ally.
