President Trump announced new tariffs on Thursday, probably because the experts told him not to. (Michael Reynolds/Pool photo via Bloomberg)President Trump kept an important campaign promise this week. Not the one about tariffs — that was incidental — but the one where he vowed to give his supporters the satisfaction of seeing him ignore experts. But like so many Trump positions (the wall, the Muslim ban, gun control) the actual content of the policy is irrelevant. A corollary here is that these experts have made a hash of the world and that America is now an expert-created hellhole.
