Incompetent and farcical come to mind. When your cost of living leaps and jobs are lost in the next few weeks and months blame the idiots who came up with and presented this destructive formula and program.
Not just the formula, but the entire approach to retaining our strong economy should be slammed as incredibly stupid. Stocks go up and down, but it takes a huge effort to mess up our economy this badly, and Trump doesn’t even have a pandemic to blame.
When your list of Countries with imposed Tariff's include an uninhabited Island, how can you take anything seriously Trump and his inane Administration does or says?
BTW - where is Russia on the Tarrif chart?!
This Administration sits in their Ivory Towers and spout out BS all day, every day!
Read the article. The formula they used for what they claim are "tariffs" is nothing of the sort, and seems to have been invented by ChatGPT. It's half of a fictitious (and much-too-high) number.
Thank you, Forbes, for admitting that you deceived American business professionals by baselessly pushing a second Trump term. We understand that you caused this entirely.
It doesn't just reflect poorly on Trump and the lackeys he can get to work in a place where honor, integrity, and character aren't allowed. It makes us all look stupid.
The world couldn’t let an idiot with zero knowledge on economics and trade to destroy the entire world economy just to satisfy his egocentric agenda.
If America wants to accept Trump destroying its economy let him do it but the rest of the world should go along together with solution excluding USA.
They started by looking at the tariffs each country imposes on USA but the data didn’t match their narrative. So they tried to figure out a formula that will make their stupidity looks fair.
So they came with a formula based on trade deficit which is irrelevant and divided by 2 to make it applicable
It’s like an AP Econ final project from the smacked ass kid in your class who applied to every Ivy (the one whose goal under his yearbook photo is “To work on Wall Street”).
The teacher’s comments in the margin: “Creative idea, but did you actually look at the results generated by your formula?”
This is the new sharpie-gate. This administration is cruel and grossly incompetent. We are living in a dangerous time and playing a dangerous game here in ‘Murica right now.
Everyone needs to ask these Republicans daily. I mean flood them with questions about what they are hiding in their past? What would make them destroy themselves and their constituents. What blackmail is so bad they would abdicate their power and ruin America. Or, or they are really just asshats?
The Trump admin throws the global economy off a cliff using a nonsensical tariff formula and the GOP house just sits back and watches. The people will not forget.
Accept it, Trump is like this formula: Incredibly stupid & bizarre! And that also applies to the people he surrounds himself with like Lutnick and the rest of the clowns!
The orange turd is demented. It is SO obvious. Of course it is a recipe for a new market upset. Others point to his bizarre quest for Greenland. Or Panama, or Canada. We WILL be attacked as in Pearl Harbor, because we are asking for it. Will we be attacked with Nuclear weapons? Probably. Why?
So, President Trump’s tariff fantasy is, “I’ll break your legs now and you will suffer but, you will heal. And, after you heal, you’ll be able to walk almost as well as before I broke your legs. For this, I want Americans and historical trading partners to be grateful.” Do I have this right?
Experts, shmexperts. His cult, I mean administration and voters says he is a genius.
God help us, the ones with brain cells, critical thinking skills, and empathy.
Given Trump included nations and place that we don’t trade with, or aren’t inhabited at all, or inhabited by penguins, you just know he and his brain trust spent 20 or 30 minutes figuring this disastrous strategy out.
HowTF did he get this far knowing so little about how tariffs and trade work. I get secondhand imposter-syndrome just watching him stumble through economics.
Trump doesn’t care about trade. He’s doing this to punish countries that don’t kneel to him. He’s a bully and this is just what bullies do. He doesn’t care if he crashes the economy to do it.
"Fake" and "incredibly stupid" applies to all the other shit he's done that YOU went along with, because you didn't know any better and you NEVER FUCKING LISTEN.
I have nothing but weapons grade contempt, anger and hatred for every selfish Trump voter. No exceptions, no sympathy, no forgiveness. Don’t talk to me, get the fuck away from me, you are dead to me!

Trump, himself has always been known to be "Fake" and "Incredibly Stupid" by anyone that he has ever conversed with...
BTW - where is Russia on the Tarrif chart?!
This Administration sits in their Ivory Towers and spout out BS all day, every day!
It’s not fake
It’s a complete lie
Get a fucking back bone and call it what it is
F-ing lie
Everything Kamala warned us about is coming true.

Not one. Even #jimcramer thinks they’re nuts
So I’ve created a “Tariff Blues Playlist” on Spotify to remind us who really gets hurt by tariffs, what our true values and character is, & to add some encouragement in these difficult days ahead.
Follow, Listen, & Share. 😎🇨🇦🇺🇸🎶

Help!

That should be under Trump's presidential portrait.
On his tombstone, and the title of his official presidential biography.
By not doing this they’ll make themselves irrelevant
Just like #SCITUS did when they ruled #POTHS was immune for actions while President
You know, if Trump wasn’t being blackmailed.
Totally fake.
Russia - no tariff. Is there really any question who is Putin's bitch?

Nobody can be surprised by this crap. Nobody.
