BREAKING: Wall Street just got a reality check on Trump’s tariff plans—biggest market drop of the year. Who could’ve seen this coming? Oh right…history.
Gilded Age political cartoons warned us over a century ago—tariffs don’t “protect the people,” they stuff the pockets of monopolists while the rest of us get the bill.
Same con, different century. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. See the receipts (and the cartoons): https://forgottenfiles.substack.com/p/the-hidden-cost-of-tariffs #trump #tariffs #history #economics #HistoryInCartoons
