Griffin calls tariffs a ‘painfully regressive tax,’ hitting working class the hardest

Billionaire Ken Griffin, the CEO of Citadel hedge fund, recently expressed his concerns about President Donald Trump’s tariffs and their impact on working class Americans. In an interview on CNBC’s “Closing Bell,” Griffin highlighted how tariffs act as a regressive tax, hitting hardest those who are already struggling to make ends meet.

Trump’s implementation of high tariffs on imports has caused significant volatility in the stock market. While the president has temporarily halted some tariff increases in an effort to negotiate deals with trading partners, tensions with China remain high. Griffin, a supporter of Trump and a major donor to Republican politicians, has been critical of the administration’s trade policies, warning of potential damage to the reputation of the United States and its government bond market.

Griffin emphasized the importance of managing inflation, citing it as a key factor for voters in the upcoming midterm elections. He raised concerns about the risk of stagflation, a combination of inflation and economic stagnation, as a result of higher tariffs. The success of Trump’s economic program, which focuses on trade, tax cuts, and deregulation, will ultimately determine the trajectory of the economy in the coming years.

With Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent outlining the three-pronged approach of Trump’s economic plan, Griffin questioned whether these measures would lead to the desired economic growth. The future of the economy, he suggested, hinges on the effectiveness of these policies and their impact on various sectors.

Overall, Griffin’s insights shed light on the complexities of economic policy and the potential consequences of trade disputes. As the nation navigates through uncertain economic waters, the decisions made by the administration will undoubtedly shape the future of the U.S. economy.
