Right-wingers from the fringe to Fox News are rolling out a new argument in favor of Trump’s tariffs—that they will help boost America’s masculinity.
Donald Trump’s claim that “jobs and factories will come roaring back” due to his steep tariffs has been welcomed by some right-wing commentators who have argued that it will be a needed improvement for American workers’ masculinity.
As one prominent right-wing influencer wrote in a now-deleted X post: “you do not solve low birth rates by giving money to women, you solve low birth rates by taking money away from women.”
“Fertility is a solved problem and tracks differential status between men and women,” another wrote, seemingly endorsing the theory.
Whether the tariffs will end up creating any of these blue collar jobs at all, however, is unclear.
No, it's about dropping bond yields to make national debt refinancing more affordable.
