Promises Kept: Donald Trump Signs Steel and Aluminum Tariffs to Protect Workers

President Donald Trump signed his official establishment of tariffs on aluminum and steel on Thursday in a dramatic ceremony in the Oval Office. The tariffs were exactly as he proposed them last week — 25 percent on steel, ten percent on aluminum. Trump said that the tariffs were important to sign, citing the industry communities that were devastated by bad trade deals and failed promises from failed politicians. “Our factories were left to rot and to rust all over the place,” Trump said. “Thriving communities were turned into ghost towns.” During his remarks, Trump explained how fundamental the tough actions on trade and tariffs were to his presidency and the core his personal beliefs. “Those who poured their souls into building this great nation were betrayed. But that betra...

Featured, Politics

Tweet it out, put on “tapes,” or just let the cameras roll. There will be a clear historical dividing line that separates what the American presidency and American politics were on either side of the current occupant of the Oval Office. That’s the unmistakable conclusion one year into the entirely unconventional and enormously consequential presidency of Donald J. Trump. Trump has fundamentally remade the office and how it functions, often on the fly, and generally in ways that he alone could have envisioned or executed. His instincts – to fight, to divide, to disrupt, to insult – have redefined what it means to be presidential. There will surely never be another Donald Trump. But neither can there be a wholesale reversion to what the office he holds was like before he assumed it....
