Economist Breaks Down Trump Tariffs | Dr. Jonathan Newman

💰 Are Trump’s tariffs helping or hurting America’s economy?

In this eye-opening episode of Uncommon Sense in Current Times, Peter Demos talks with economist and author Dr. Jonathan Newman to break down the real impact of tariffs, trade deficits and protectionist policies.

From exposing myths about manufacturing decline to revealing how domestic regulations—not global trade—drive jobs overseas, Dr. Newman delivers a powerful, common-sense case for free markets, sound money and individual opportunity.
