Politico: “Just days out from Trump’s April 2 announcement of global tariffs, which he has hailed as ‘Liberation Day,’ even those closest to the president — from Vice President JD Vance to his chief of staff Susie Wiles and his own Cabinet officials — have privately indicated that they’re unsure exactly what the boss will do.
”“While some details of the administration’s plan for what Trump has dubbed ‘reciprocal tariffs’ on global trading partners are starting to trickle out, the president has at times upended them or floated contradictory policies that are keeping everyone — even his inner circle — guessing.”
Said one White House ally: “No one knows what the fuck is going on. What are they going to tariff? Who are they gonna tariff and at what rates? Like, the very basic questions haven’t been answered yet.”
