FYI: (The Linkster holds a position in BX.)
Economist Adam Posen of went on TV this morning and called the proposed Trump tariffs “straight up stupid,” “incompetent” and “misguided.” So I guess he’s not a fan.
Posen is the president of the Peterson Institution for International Economics and served at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in the mid-1990s, also currently sits on the panel of economic advisors to the U.S. Congressional Budget Office.
