JARED BERNSTEIN: Am I the only one who thinks it’s weird that the White House is treating this whole tariff thing like a big, splashy reveal party?! This isn’t a game show, people! Generating needless uncertainty is bad economics, as are sweeping tariffs themselves. (I will say that, apart for battle plans, they’re surprisingly non-leaky.)
And trade policy uncertainty, measured here by PolicyUncertainty.com which tracks related words in media publications, is through the freakin’ roof!
