S2 Ep1021: Josh Barro: Total Idiocy

And so if you were going to do that, you needed to have friendly trade relations with Japan and Vietnam and all these countries that Trump is giving the middle finger to. The way you could put that back together is you could have a free trade agreement that's built around isolating China. That's something that the Obama administration was negotiating. That was the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

And then Bernie Sanders had his anti-global elites messaging that Hillary Clinton felt the need to copy. And so you had Democrats turn against that stuff, and Trump obviously didn't want to do it. I think that's something that a next Democratic president should say, we're going to build that stuff back together again.

We're going to do a Trans-Pacific Partnership because we're going to rebuild our alliances in Asia and then similarly in Europe. I think the time is ripe for Democrats to be the pro-global party, the party that wants the U.S. to remain independent at its position at the head of the global economic system. And I think that as Trump makes us poorer, I think that's going to become a popular thing.

So I don't think there's a good reason for Democrats to hedge. I think it's worth noting, not all Democrats are hedging on this. I've been critical of what Congressman Deluzio has to say about this, but part of why Deluzio is notable is that he's been one of the figures in the party where not everybody's saying this. He's been saying this wrong thing. Jared Polis gets an A, the

I mean, he not only talks about Trump's tariffs are bad, but he talks about voluntary trade makes both parties engaging in the trade richer. That's why people do trade. It's because you'd rather have the thing the foreign country has than have what you have.

And so his messaging on this has been really crisp and clear and tying Trump's policies to a broader ideological idea of why we want to be open. And some of the other presidential hopefuls have been pretty good on this. J.B. Pritzker, you know, has been very, you know, clear on the messaging. Trump is imposing a tax on you.

Both him and Josh Shapiro have been going to local businesses and saying, you know, you know, look at these vats in this brewery. Those are made of steel. Trump is imposing steel tariffs that will make that more expensive, make it harder to make beer here. The aluminum for the cans is going to be more expensive. They're really tying this to everyday business and consumer concerns.
