Tariffs May Make It Too Expensive to ‘Drill, Baby, Drill’ | President Trump’s tariff polices have sent oil prices falling, which may push energy companies to reconsider their plans to drill.
Based on me reading wikipedia, in Hoover's fairness, Smoot-Hawley was mainly a congress led thing and he mainly rubber stamped it. He also introduced stimulus to help industries that he wanted to up their output.
Trump isn't doing anything stimulus-wise (if anything the opposite by introducing huge government cuts) to aid the new manufacturing processes he's assuming will spring up overnight, and he also seems to be the mastermind behind rebranding the US as tariff-land.
I don't know what my point is, that Trump's policies are a lot worse than Hoover's? I doubt anyone needed me to reach that conclusion to be fair.
