Most interesting thing in this exchange: Navarro claims the idiotic tariff formula was developed by CEA.
But I'm hearing indirectly that CEA instead blames Navarro for creating formula.

"Ron Vara" is used to create a tariff based solely on goods deficits.
'Vara' means "goods" (singular) in Icelandic ;)
See above. :-)

"it's not like the media is a high court or tribunal"
lol
Said CEA proposed a bunch of ways to estimate non-tariff barriers, but Trump ultimately instead chose a formula designed to close deficits, proposed by "someone else in the administration"

Everyone: Who?
Miran (between coughs): Chatbot.
This is going to be like one of the many "Jared typed something into google" stories we got from the first administration. But it's really, really serious in this case.
Cmon!
The culprit was undoubtably Ron Vara in the Oval with the Sharpie.
Dr. Peter Navarro is one of the smartest people you'd ever meet. Anything he says, people should listen and listen carefully.

he tends to operate in the shadows. 😏
Murkowski did.

Raw bigotry, and racism wrapped in nativism covered with two scoops of fake intellectualism.
It is a failed strategy, based on foreign resentment.
There are much, much better ways to boost domestic production in high value industries.

Screw them once (IF) things settle down-Joe and all the other GOP feckless Congress will be right back bowing to the Don and kissing his f'ing ring!
This is an extremely well-armed populace.
Is this crimes against humanity stuff?

From the CEA? Not.
Made up by a fictitious character & book by Navarro.
Jared Kirschner read the fictitious book that Navarro wrote.
Then Jared told Trump to hire Navarro as his economic advisor.
Everything about tariffs are lies!
Everything is bullshit.!

The craziness of this is that Navarro and his boss are using it.

Why bother asking people who pick a line and use it for every answer whether it is responsive or not? They don't believe in facts, and by definition they believe accountabiloty is only for ANYBODY else.
It’s hard to be compliant when Team Trump is tanking the market (as well the US and global economies) and defending the destruction with insane BS.

It is just trade imports minus trade exports divided by 2.

Now, who fed the prompt into ChatGPT, I don't know.
But using known-bullshitter ChatGPT for this is idiotic.
Still don't know who prompted.
I hate myself for capitalizing it
Putting the contents of a heavily-used cat litter tray through a liquidiser would have produced similar results.
The last time the VIX spiked this high was A FRIGGEN’ PANDEMIC… which we didn’t know if it would kill millions or hundreds of millions.
Put that into perspective.
Which is a pretty bad economic background for Trump destroying world trade.
Tough times ahead. Wear an N95 or better respirator mask, protect yourself.

Ron Vara was his normal feces flinging ape.
How could one adjust tariffs so all countries have equal trade?
GPT used trade deficits as the primary x-factor in setting tariff amounts.
