In his recent campaign efforts, Donald Trump frequently references former President William McKinley, known for his ultra-protectionist policies, particularly high tariffs. While Trump touts that era as a model for economic prosperity, historians argue he overlooks the complexities and eventual criticisms of such policies that emerged during McKinley's presidency. They note that McKinley himself began to recognize the need for free trade as a solution for sustained economic success. Despite this, Trump's calls for a return to tariff-centric policies could lead to significant economic consequences in today's global market.
