The statement 'No they’re not' is a direct response to a public claim made by a news outlet quoting a public figure, Donald Trump, about the impact of tariffs. This constitutes public discourse as it engages with a public issue, specifically economic policy and its effects on the country.
Principle 4:
I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.The statement is a disagreement with Trump's claim about tariffs. It does not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments, but it also lacks constructive criticism or dialogue. It simply negates the claim without providing further explanation or evidence, which limits its contribution to a constructive dialogue.
