Confused about Tariffs? Hank Green Ranks the Insanity Level of Trump’s Tariff Policies over the past 10 Days

While I’ve been focusing on voting issues this week, President Trump has been experimenting with what he has called “my favorite word”–tariffs. There has been so much back and forth about these policies the past week and a half that it is hard to keep up with it all.

So I’m turning to one of my favorite people, one half of the vlog brothers–Hank Green. In this video, he uses some kind of YouTube thing I don’t know about to rank how crazy some of the elements of this whole issue have been.

I found it fun as well as clarifying. It imposes a bit of order on the chaos that tends to run rampant in this Administration, especially on this issue. He discusses what makes sense, even if it is illegal or immoral, versus what is merely distraction, versus the truly insane things that have happened in just the past two weeks.

I hope it helps you figure things out.
