Based on the inclusion of non-countries and uninhabited islands on the tariff list, it really feels like they just had one of the AI deep research models write the whole thing
100% serious take: if policy decisions were being made today by inputting the briefing memos into ChatGPT and asking for its pick of the options, we'd all be much better off
So it seems Trump and his cronies are spent months trying to come up with at least a single coherent thought and finally decides to impose tariffs on penguins
Since the sole purpose is just arming themselves with sticks to beat other countries and US businesses with, rational calculation isn't necessary. It's just a protection racket implemented by a gangster.
They were making these numbers and targets up even as late as this morning. The kid that did his homework on the school bus. Trump swears these things will work. No one else thinks so. But the GOP will claim these allow trillions in tax giveaways to billionaires. Then exit stage right.
dude, America invented Critical Race Theory. But if these Chinese university presses are going to undercut and start dumping in the US market someone has to defend the domestic interests.
You should copyright that as soon as possible. "Trump and Friends". And start an entertainment show, feigning to be news, with that name. They're going to sue you, but it would be fun until then, right? :) I'll back you up.
