CEOs finally see tariffs clearly -- here's what they're saying

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

67% : Trump wasn't the only candidate who got love from the business community.
65% : " Meanwhile, the Trump administration lauded the tariffs' benefits, which it says will force companies to bring jobs back to the U.S. "Under President Trump, business leaders are making trillions in historic investment commitments [and] driving the robust private-sector hiring reflected in multiple jobs reports," White House spokesman Kush Desai told the Journal.
40% : "The choice in this election is clear: between failed trickle-down economic policies that benefit the few and economic policies that provide opportunity for all," the endorsement document said, but even these esteemed economists failed to address the elephant that Trump had somehow snuck into the room: tariffs. Nearly a year later, the business community seems to be coming around to Harris' way of thinking, sounding the alarm about a strategy they say could lead to some real pain for American consumers.
39% : The average American voter can be forgiven for not knowing what tariffs would do to the economy in the short term (54% said Trump was better equipped to deal with the economy compared to 45% for Kamala, according to an October Gallup poll), but CEOs knew.
32% : Trump has had a higher pain threshold than his supporters on Wall Street when it comes to market losses, but recent dips in the U.S. dollar and bond markets are starting to weigh on his administration.
19% : Despite Trump making it no secret that tariffs are a key part of his administration's economic policy, many in the business community endorsed him over his opponent, Kamala Harris, in last November's presidential election.
