“软弱、不稳定、破坏性”：诺贝尔经济学奖学家克鲁格曼抨击特朗普的关税翻转
‘Weak, erratic, destructive’: Nobel economist Krugman torches Trump’s tariff flip-flop
译文简介
诺贝尔经济学奖得主保罗·克鲁格曼指出，即便所谓“后退”，特朗普政策仍造成保护主义冲击，当前关税高于竞选时预期，甚至比史慕特 - 霍利关税更甚，对消费者和企业负担更大；同时这种政策带来破坏性不确定性，企业不知未来政策走向，影响投资决策，而且经济面临较大风险，金融市场已出现类似2008年危机前的警示信号，如债券市场异动等，此外《华尔街日报》也认为特朗普的关税是全球经济不稳定的最大驱动因素 。

Just what I’ve been saying: it was fine as long as only the poor, the old, the disabled, the different color people were suffering. When it hits the stock market, suddenly it’s an emergency.
早说过：穷人、老人、残障和有色人种受苦无所谓，股市一跌就成紧急状态
Wild how these moves get spun as relief, but there’s always a catch. 90 days isn’t much, and skipping China says a lot. Been trying to understand the bigger game behind all this, and The Fortune Architect by Michael Harper actually gave me some clarity on how these decisions ripple through the economy long term. Worth a read if this stuff keeps you up like it does me.
嘴上说缓解危机，实则暗藏玄机：90天杯水车薪，排除中国更意味深长。推荐读读Michael Harper的《财富建筑师》，讲透了这类决策的长期经济连锁反应

You know why Trump was bankrupted many times. Totally reckless attitudes towards business and completely ignorant of economics.

I set myself up for retirement as conservatively as possible. But USA re elected Trump, and now I have to contend with the distinct possibility of a global financial meltdown. Thanks America. You had it all, but you had to go and do this.

Stupid, erratic, and weak. All excellent adjectives to apply to Donald Trump.
愚蠢、反复无常且软弱——形容特朗普的绝妙三连。
Insider trading?
"Social Media Posts: Hours before the announcement, Trump posted on Truth Social, stating, "THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!!" This raised suspicions that he was signaling to investors ahead of the market rally.
Unusual Market Activity: In the hour leading up to the announcement, there was a noticeable spike in call options on major indices, suggesting that some traders may have acted on foreknowledge of the tariff pause."
This has to be investigated.
内幕交易？
· 官宣前几小时，特朗普在Truth Social发帖"现在正是买入良机！！！"
· 官宣前一小时，主要股指看涨期权异常暴增
必须严查！

This is an act of war against China, and it’s the Congress that should have declared it instead. Congress would have studied the problem, determined the strategy, examined the options, and set the end game. Then, the interests of the American people would have been served. As it is, we let one man act according to his mood of the moment, without a goal, plan, strategy, or end game, all to the detriment of the American people and America’s national interest. But what’s the solution right now, Professor?
这等同对华宣战，本该由国会发起。国会本可研究对策、制定战略、评估方案、设定终局，从而服务美国人民利益。而现在，我们任由一个喜怒无常的人毫无规划地行动，损害国家利益。教授，当下有何解法？

I’m not sure why Americans are celebrating this. Do they realize it’s Americans who end up paying the tariffs, not the Chinese? And let’s talk about bringing factories back—how exactly does that work when there’s a shortage of skilled labor and the infrastructure just isn’t there? It takes years, not months, to build even a small factory from the ground up. Then there’s the issue of wages. Are Americans really willing to take on physically demanding, heavy-lifting jobs for minimum wage? I just don’t get the hype around this idea.
不懂美国人欢呼什么？关税最终是美国消费者买单。再说制造业回流——技工短缺+基建不足，建个小厂都要数年。更何况美国人真愿拿最低工资干体力活？这炒作毫无道理
If Trump was so sure his tariffs were a good thing for America, he wouldn’t have paused them. His behaviour shows that he has no idea what he’s doing.
若真认为关税利好美国，何必暂停？这恰恰证明他毫无章法

Why did the market fall again? Because business owners and investors know there's still uncertainty; no one knows what. 90 days pause means sit on your hands and do nothing; can’t invest, can’t lay off, can’t build or expand, can’t really plan at all; because you can’t see through the thick fog! Business needs clarity, consistency, certainty in what the future will look like for at least 6 to 12 months with POLICY!!! So they know what to do!
股市为何又跌？90天暂停=让企业干瞪眼：不敢投资、不敢裁员、不敢扩建，全因政策迷雾！企业需要6-12个月清晰稳定的政策指引！

The reason Americans have lived well for the last four generations has been the world's confidence in the stability of the United States political and economic system based on the US dollar and the full faith of the US Treasury behind the bond. This has had the effect of keeping the dollar stable and United States interest rates low compared to other sovereign nations and this in turn has financed an enviable lifestyle for the vast majority of Americans. The effect of these tariffs is secondary. The principle effect dump is having is the uncertainty factor that causes everyone to be unable to plan or anticipate his next psychotic lunatic idea which directly affects the stability of the dollar and confidence in the bond market. This can only lead to increased borrowing costs for all Americans and a lower standard of living for the next generation. Thank you Red Hats for lowering not only your own standard living but that of us intelligent beings and that of our children.

Why are we letting trump control the tariffs even though I have not seen any evidence of an emergency element. Congress according to the constitution has or should have the control.

China's exports to the US are mostly household necessities for the common people. Imposing heavy tariffs on China's products will therefore either raise the cost of living for its people or end up a major shortage of necessities for its people. Whereas the US exports to China are mostly farm products, microchips, Boeing aircrafts and other heavy machinery. Yet China is all ready to replace all this US made products with their own. Hence the tariff war will hurt the US commoners more than China. People are already protesting on the streets. It will get worse. Very naive of the US government.
中国对美出口多是民生必需品，加税只会抬高美国百姓生活成本或导致物资短缺。而美国对华出口的农产品、芯片、波音飞机等，中国已能自主替代。这场关税战伤美甚于伤中，街头抗议只会愈演愈烈——美国政府太天真

Hi from Sweden — I'm honestly so tired of how American economists constantly misrepresent their own achievements. This so-called "Economics Nobel Prize" is technically not a real Nobel Prize, but goes under the name of Sweden's Central Bank's Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel! It was created as a separate donation by adherents of the neoliberal Chicago School of Economics, centered around Milton Friedman, and shoehorned into Alfred Nobel's legacy a full 70 years after his death, purely to elevate their own prestige. Nobel himself had a deep distrust — even outright contempt — for economists, whom he regarded as pseudo-scientists. The irony is staggering: Ever since this hostile takeover, Alfred Nobel's name has been used to legitimize exactly what he would have sought to avoid — like trickle-down economics, free-market extremism, deregulatory dogma, and austerity fetishism, all unleashed on the world by the pseudo-criminal logic of the Chicago School.

When a company becomes too large for the market it has an unfair advantage over its competitors and will often display market dominance behaviour. In this case the Government will order it to 'demerge' into two smaller independent entities to protect both consumers and market competitors.

I built the greatest tariff, the biggest, the best. Nobody else could do that. Nobody! These other guys, these losers, I set the bar SO low. I mean, think about it. The lowest! It's a disgrace, a total DISGRACE to this country. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, could be as...examplery......exompliry....... exumplury.....oranges as me. It's almost IMPOSSIBLE! And that's why, when you look at my record, my AMAZING record, it's clear. Clear as a bell! So, yeah, these "modern qualifications for this job" are hitting me right on the head. It's a sad situation, a very sad situation, but that's why we need the BEST people, the WINNERS, and that's me, folks. Believe me!

When you want to make a new product where do you go to? America? Europe? India? Russia? Many end up in China. They have the resources, able to build the machinery and plenty of hardworking cheap labour to make your product in reasonably good quality on time, maximizing your profit plus shipping. Even well-known brand tech firms are making their product in China. Why? Max$$$$. Even Japan or S. Korea are deemed too expensive for these rich tech firms. When China ends up making almost everything everyone needs plus they are able to produce their very own products, the big countries cried foul. Is it fair to China? Why not blame the ultrarich businessmen?
新产品去哪造？中国有资源、设备、廉价勤劳工人，保质保量利润高。连顶级科技公司都选中国，日韩都嫌贵。等中国啥都能造了，大国却喊不公平？该怪贪婪资本家才对吧？

他加税是为逼贸易伙伴接受其"多元化政策"、降低环保与食品药品标准——就像他对美国做的那些破坏

We need to go by President Reagan's sayings. Trust, but verify. If I remember correctly there are lots of road blocks if you try to export a GM Equinox to Germany. Import duty is between 10 to 19% not 1.7%. Plus the buyer in Germany has to pay Value Added Tax.
该学里根"信任但核实"——比如雪佛兰Equinox出口德国实际面临10-19%关税+增值税，哪来1.7%？
