This is incredible. The "reciprocal tariffs" were calculated without actually looking at anything to do with tariffs.
This is the most amateur-hour crap you can imagine and it's going to straight tank the global economy.

hi, no thanks
james surowiecki has discovered where the completely fabricated trump tariff rate has come from for each country
"...for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us."

Dumbed down sparkly shite for a nation chock full o' brain dead simple-minded sadists with well-cultivated appetites for the blood/pain/downfall of OTHERS, who aren't USA USA USA. And especially tasty if said OTHERS aren't white.
They gonna learn the hard way.
Absolutely ludicrous and kindergarten logic.

The Economist magazine today said the president had "committed the most profound, harmful and unnecessary economic error in the modern era. Almost everything he said—on history, economics and the technicalities of trade—was utterly deluded."
How dare Costco offer competitive prices over target.
Yes, you read that right. We’re taxing nothing from no one.
And the world is watching 🌓✨

-Make the MAGA rubes that he's delivering his America First by looking tough
-Extort countries and American Corps/Oligarchs whose businesses are going to suffer (Walmat/Target)

Asking for a nation.
Makes total sense now.
#Trump cabinet member, ship them to El Salvador's prison with zero rights and then leave them there for 2 weeks and see if the Trump administration even tries to bring them back.
Because if they try to bring back their own guy, it's about THEM being above EVERYONE ELSE.
And the #GOP stands by and sucks #Trumps dick
Putin wants the rest of the world to sink down to his level.
Meritocracy
The USA has a massive trade SURPLUS with Australia.
Nevertheless, US importers of Australian goods & services will pay Trump a 10% tax on everything they bring in.
Are people starting to understand why even a basic education level is needed, not just access to cash? The anti-education rhetoric needs to die with this administration ffs
the numbers appear to be constructed mainly to punish countries that export to the US more than they import from the US
Because there's no people there to make anything
So it's just made up crap
America answers...Hold my beer
Every single time I think that I'm done being surprised at how stupid these motherfuckers are I'm wrong. Every. Single. Time.
All of those are imported. Real estate is going to get hit HARD by this.
The only way this makes sense is if Donald GENUINELY DOESN'T KNOW HOW TARIFFS WORK!
The rest of the world could take a page out of the virology playbook and isolate the contagion.
