I agree about embracing change and accepting destruction, but not embracing it.
Beyond just economics, trade, and protectionism, a major component of Trumpism and the MAGA movement is embracing destruction.
The world is not just one poker hand where one player takes the pot and everyone else loses, especially where the winner cheats.
History judged Smoot-Hawley harshly. The final verdict on Trump's tariffs is not yet written, but the early signs are familiar. If we want prosperity, we must look forward, not backward. The future belongs to those who embrace change and creative destruction, not those who resist it.
