The Dems WILL be able to run on the inflationary effects of magical thinking tariffs and a probable recession to go with the run up in the debt.

Let's see that 'in depth' analysis you claim to have posted.

Meanwhile this IS deep enough.....ACKNOWLEGING 'winners and losers' and a bottom line you've never been able to refute.

4. Trade Does Create Both Winners and Losers

While the overall economy benefits, trade can harm specific industries or workers exposed to foreign competition. This drives much of the political debate about "fairness." Nevertheless, the consensus remains that trade's benefits to the U.S. as a whole outweigh its downsides, especially when policies are in place to assist affected workers and communities.

Bottom Line:

The United States has not been systematically disadvantaged in global trade. Rather, trade has been a net positive for the U.S. economy—raising standards of living, supporting millions of jobs, and keeping the country a leader in innovation and productivity. Individual sectors or groups may face challenges, but these are not evidence that "the world" as a whole has had the advantage over the U.S. in trade.
