Trump's Tariffs Made His Farm Bailouts Inevitable | The Libertarian Institute

By Joseph Solis-Mullen > In the comic theater of American politics, few spectacles are as reliably absurd as the utopian promises of protectionism. Donald Trump’s tariffs, hailed by their proponents as a bold strike against foreign exploitation, have instead proven to be a blunt instrument of economic self-sabotage—particularly for the nation’s farmers. From his first administration to the present day these policies have not only disrupted free markets but have necessitated a cascade of government bailouts, turning independent producers into wards of the state. Such interventions are not savvy trade strategy but are classic crony capitalism: politicians picking winners and losers, all while taxpayers foot the bill for the inevitable fallout. > Let’s rewind to Trump’s initial foray into tariff warfare, beginning in 2018. Under the guise of national security and “fair trade”—invoking dusty provisions like Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 and Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962—the administration slapped duties on imports ranging from steel and aluminum to a broad array of Chinese goods.

Trump Refuses To Rule Out Military Option for Greenland | The Libertarian Institute

By Will Porter > President Donald Trump declined to rule out the use of force to take control of Greenland, soon after several European allies dispatched troops to the territory in an apparent warning to Washington. > Asked by NBC News whether he would use military force to seize Greenland during a brief interview on Monday, the US leader simply replied “No comment.” He previously hinted at a military option, saying last week that the United States would take the territory “one way or another.” > Further ratcheting up tensions over the issue, Trump additionally said he no longer felt “an obligation to think purely of peace” with regard to Greenland, according to a letter he penned to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store and obtained by Bloomberg. The president went on to blame the Nordic state for failing to award him with a Nobel Peace Prize, adding that “The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland.”
