The last few days have offered us the clearest example yet of why the Left can’t be trusted with serious negotiations. While President Trump reasserts American leverage on the global stage, Democrats like Elizabeth Warren and Rep. Steven Horsford are too busy either ranting about “price gouging” conspiracies or shouting “W-T-F” in the middle of congressional hearings.
Warren’s “Price Gouging” Paranoia Is Not a Policy
Senator Elizabeth Warren recently appeared on CNBC’s Squawk Box to warn Americans that Trump’s tariffs won’t just raise costs — they’ll give companies an excuse to start “price gouging.” According to Warren, the entire business community is waiting like cartoon villains to use tariffs as cover for jacking up prices.
She actually said, “That creates the environment for businesses to be able to say, ‘Oh, well, we’ll just go ahead and increase our prices now. We will increase our prices more than the cost of the tariffs.’”
If that sounds like economic gibberish, it’s because it is. What Warren is doing here is classic: scaring consumers into believing that the real enemy isn’t China, it’s American businesses. In her mind, they’re just waiting to pounce.
She even dredged up the 2018 washing machine tariff example, claiming the price of dryers went up without being taxed — which she calls “proof” of price gouging. Never mind that markets adjust to supply chain impacts. In Warren’s world, basic economics is a conspiracy.
Meanwhile, Horsford Has a Full-Blown Meltdown on the House Floor
While Warren was spinning doomsday pricing tales, Rep. Steven Horsford (D-NV) made a name for himself with an epic tantrum during a House Ways and Means Committee hearing.
When news broke mid-hearing that Trump had announced a 90-day pause on tariffs for most countries (while hitting China with a 125% tariff increase), Horsford lost it. He berated U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer live on camera:
“W-T-F! Who’s in charge?”
“There’s no strategy — you just found out three seconds ago.”
“This is amateur hour, and it needs to stop!”
It wasn’t a debate. It wasn’t oversight. It was a meltdown.
Greer calmly responded that he doesn’t disclose private conversations with the president and reminded everyone: “The president was elected. He sets trade policy. I advise and execute.”
Apparently that wasn’t good enough for Horsford, who went on to ask if Trump’s maneuvering was market manipulation. No, Steven — it’s called negotiating. It’s called leverage. It’s called The Art of the Deal — a book you might want to read before your next hearing.
Trump’s Tariff Strategy Is Working — and That’s Why They’re Screaming
Let’s take a step back and look at what actually happened:
-
Trump paused tariffs for most countries for 90 days — a move designed to reward those willing to talk and isolate China.
-
Over 75 countries have reached out to negotiate.
-
Meanwhile, China got slapped with a 125% tariff hike.
-
This isn’t market chaos. It’s calculated pressure. It’s classic Trump.
And how did the Left respond? With panic, theatrics, and finger-pointing.
When your enemies start screaming about market manipulation and “chaos tariffs,” it usually means your strategy is working. Trump isn’t backing down — he’s surrounding China diplomatically while keeping the American economy on the front foot.
This Isn’t Chaos — It’s Control
The reality is simple: Trump’s unpredictability is part of the plan. Warren and Horsford call it chaos because they don’t understand what real negotiation looks like. In their world, America should just fold, apologize, and let other nations dictate our trade terms.
But Trump? He plays hardball. He pauses. He pressures. He punishes.
And while they panic, the global playing field begins to reset — on our terms.
