Because it only uses an expert which omits the part about him imposing new duties on Japanese goods. I think the "Reagan Library" is just afraid of Trump and his minions.

But the quote is accurate, the context does not change and the historical reference certainly applies. Especially the reference to the Smoot-Hawley Tariffs.

Trump is claiming that it's "Fake", which is all his followers need to hear - but that is a complete lie.
