Following Liberation Day, there is widespread uncertainty regarding the effects of former President Trump’s tariffs on the economy, which is already under strain. Stephen Colbert discussed these developments in a segment on the “Late Show,” highlighting various reactions from the stock market and examining the methods through which Trump might have devised his tariff strategy.
Colbert commented on the ongoing attempt to understand the rationale behind the tariffs, citing an analysis by individuals online who suggested that the tariff policy seems to resemble something generated by ChatGPT. In his segment, Colbert alluded to an article by Paul Krugman, a professor and former columnist for the New York Times, jokingly remarking that someone might have outsourced their tariff planning to an AI due to procrastination, especially in light of approaching Liberation Day.
