Is Trump Wrong? Why Tariffs Won’t Save American Jobs - Watchdog on Wall Street with Chris Markowski

Chris unleashes a fiery rant, tearing into the romanticized tariff myths peddled by Trump and MAGA fans, shouting ‘Free Trade or Die!’ He dismantles comparisons of 19th-century America—think McKinley and the Gilded Age—to today, highlighting a world of no standing armies, no Social Security, and oligarchs thriving on protectionism while workers suffered Pinkerton beatdowns and mafia muscle. Markowski argues tariffs didn’t make us rich; they shielded fat cats like Carnegie and sparked unrest—contrast that with today’s better worker conditions and global trade’s proven prosperity, from China’s self-inflicted Canton flop to Fiat’s niche flops in the U.S. Want jobs back? Slash regulations and taxes, not build walls. www.watchdogonwallstreet.com
