1/ President Trump's tariffs are an assault on the Constitution. My new National Review column.

I enjoyed talking with Margaret Brennan about President Trump’s disastrous tariffs on CBS Evening News. The president is wrong: His tariffs will not lead to a manufacturing renaissance. And we should not wish they would.

I don't understand why the President wants to move Americans from higher-wage jobs into lower-wage jobs. "U.S. Employers Added 228,000 Jobs in March, but Outlook Is Clouded," by Rebecca Davis O'Brien: nytimes.com/2025/04/04/bus…

AEI’s Michael R. Strain: The president's trade policy is going to do a lot of economic damage. It's going to reduce the income of households. It's going to reduce the purchasing power of wages. It's going to increase unemployment.

President Trump needs an off ramp. In UnHerd, I outline three options the president could take to pivot. For the sake of the working class that sent him back to the Oval Office — and of the nation as a whole — I hope the president pivots. Some in the media, Left and Right,

"The U.S. doesn't make things anymore." Utter nonsense. U.S. industrial output reached its post-World War II high in February 2025. It is true that the growth of industrial output substantially slowed following the 2008 global financial crisis. But the level of industrial output

What if the entire narrative about retirement is wrong? In his new book, AEI's Andrew G. Biggs brings economic insights and hard data to bear on America's real retirement savings situation.

🧵Vice President Vance argues that the market is a “tool” rather than “the purpose of politics.” Is he right? Is the market merely a tool – a means to an end? Or should a free and well-functioning market be an end in itself? My Project Syndicate column. project-syndicate.org/commentary/mar…
