'Could not be more stupid': Scott Galloway on Trump's tariffs

NYU professor and podcaster Scott Galloway tells CNN’s Anderson Cooper why President Trump’s tariffs are worse than those imposed nearly 100 years ago. #CNN #News

Wow. 80% of U.S. members of the public think we should have more manufacturing. But only 20% would ever go to work in a factory. There you go, folks.

I disagree. I think that Trump has barely scratched the surface on how stupid he can be

[deboralacreta]

This is why you don’t put this much power in one person’s hands.

Scott nailed it on "Tomorrow he could announce the tariffs are off and the market could come roaring back 2, 000 points", which is exactly what happened. Professor Galloway is a smart, caring guy. His podcasts are great listening and a voice or reason, sanity, and compassion right now.

He is right - the damage has been done. We no longer trust America.

[JoesBlows]

That was the smartest, most well spoken guest I've ever seen and heard on television.

Thank you.

Scott Galloway is great, tell it like it is. Intelligent, informed, concise and direct. You should have more commentators like this.

"He could announce tomorrow that the tariffs are off" - I don't think Scott was intending to be that literal!

[allanchapman]

Forget Tariffs. There is a growing movement across Europe to boycott all American goods and services. There is a great amount of sympathy for Canada and anger about the bullying of Denmark. They do not need Amazon, Disney etc nor Starbucks Heinz etc.

Did anybody think it was an good idea to hire a felon for the highest office.. unbelievable! 🤦

[chukkler]

Unfortunately there is no cure for stupidity. God help us.

[kimjin]

This guy is a wise man. He also explained what’s stupidity “To hurt yourself in order to hurt others “

Americans cant wait to work 90 hours a week in factories with no bathroom breaks.

[shaunazar]

this is not stupidity; this is sabotage.

[haroldhollingsworthesq]

Scott really nails it, appreciate you booking him and getting his point across!

[tfmajka]

I've worked in manufacturing the last 30 years and there is always a struggle to find good employees. There's no line of people waiting to work these jobs.

The vast majority of Americans can't afford Made in America items, thats why Walmart became huge. The GOP just voted against a rise in minimum wage. If EVERYTHING was Made in America, everyone with a college degree would flee to other countries because the US would be unaffordable.

Some of the sanest commentary and advice I’ve heard in a week! Thanks!

Trump is what happens when a lot of poorly educated WWE fans vote.

"He could announce tomorrow that the tariffs are off. It's now tomorrow, and the tariffs are (almost) off! 😂😂
