Trump Proposes Tariffs to Fund Child Care at Economic Club of NY, Faces Criticism

Former President Donald Trump recently proposed using tariffs to fund child care during a speech at the Economic Club of New York. The proposal has sparked widespread criticism and confusion. Critics argue that tariffs, which are meant to deter foreign imports, either drive up prices of both imported and domestic goods or fail to generate revenue if they successfully deter imports. This would leave less money available for child care. Additionally, Trump's response to questions about child care has been described as incoherent and lacking in detail, with some observers noting that he failed to provide specific legislation or a coherent plan, even mentioning his daughter Ivanka in a distracting manner. Prominent figures, including Patty Murray, have expressed strong opposition to the idea, emphasizing the need for a coherent strategy to make child care more affordable.

So, will Trump transfer revenues from his tariffs to give to American parents for child care? Or was he riffing because he has no actual answer to a very basic question? Im confused.

I feel pretty strongly that our next President needs to have some kind of coherent idea of how they will make child care more affordable. And—NO—tariffs are obviously not going to solve the child care crisis.

Jessica: I would dare any of you to listen to Trump’s answer on child care and tell me what the hell he was talking about. It was one of the more incoherent things I've ever heard..
