new cycle this week.

Trump's tariffs.

It has been quite a week, and on Thursday, the day we're taping this, a range of sweeping tariffs went into effect.

Some of these new rates are eye-popping.

Switzerland, 39%.

India, 50%. Taiwan, 20%.

And all of that's in addition to some of the tariffs that had gone into effect earlier.

A few things strike me as puzzling, especially in terms of strategy. First, these are and

remain taxes, at least in part, on Americans, not on the countries that are being

tariffed, but on Americans. And their regressive taxes hurting mostly lower income families. Some percentage of tariffs are

eventually passed on to the consumers in the importing country. That is America, that's Americans.

America's interests.
