Published 10 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
Donald Trump grew up learning to make deals. He's also loved tariffs since the 1970s.
So are his market-shaking tariffs a bargaining chip? Or are they here permanently?
We go all the way back to Trump's childhood to try to figure out if Dealmaker Don or Tariff Man Trump is in charge.
Marc Fisher's book with Michael Kranish is Trump, Revealed.
