The author here has a much-brighter view of Libertarians than I do, and imagines that they are now poised to fight Donald Trump's tariffs. I see no reason for such optimism. Libertarians don't labor under the burden or inspiration of religion, which just makes them depraved Republicans. They will fall in line and do just as Donald Trump tells them to, no matter how far he veers from their ideology.
This rejection of the far-right elements in the Libertarian Party, combined with the urgency of President Trump’s tariff schemes, has created an opportunity for Americans —particularly those leaning Republican — who support free people and free markets to rejoin the Libertarian Party and join the opposition to the Trump administration.
Tariffs are taxes Americans pay. The libertarian position is that we should be fighting for zero tariffs, and we certainly shouldn’t let a president unilaterally usurp the constitutional authority of Congress to impose taxes.
