Economist Warns of Economic Challenges as Tariffs and Job Cuts Take Toll

Larry Kudlow predicts negative economic indicators but deflects blame from Trump administration policies.

Larry Kudlow, former NEC director under Trump, forecasts negative job numbers and GDP contraction in upcoming reports.
Kudlow attributes rising consumer prices and poor economic projections to Biden-era policies, despite ongoing impacts from Trump-era tariffs and government cuts.
Recent tariffs imposed on imports from Canada, Mexico, and China have significantly increased costs for goods and services in the U.S.
The Department of Government Efficiency's (DOGE) mass layoffs of federal workers are cited as a factor in the anticipated flat job market.
Public opinion on Trump's economic impact remains divided, with polls showing mixed views on whether his policies are improving or worsening the economy.
