Here’s a letter to the Wall Street Journal:
Editor:
A headline at your website this afternoon reads “Trump Says Tariffs on Chinese Goods Will Stay for ‘Substantial Period of Time’.”
May I petition you to change the headline only slightly but in a way that would make it far more accurate and revealing? – to wit: “Trump Says Punitive Taxes on Americans Who Buy Chinese Goods Will Stay for ‘Substantial Period of Time’.”
Sincerely,
Donald J. Boudreaux
