CNBC's Steve Liesman doesn't mince words about the way the White House calculated its tariff rates:
"Nobody ever heard of this formula. Nobody has ever used this formula. So I’m sorry, but the conclusion seems to be the president kind of made this up as he went along... these are off the charts."

If lost $$$ and private sector jobs doesn’t stiffen some spines when their constituents were already reeling from DOGE damage, nothing will.
On the fly….

Why are some people surprised?!

Like being the leader during a declared national disaster and emergency to justify the destruction of critical government human services…
a disaster of such magnitude — he can barely stand to play golf every weekend.
Dress it up and lie through your teeth about it.
How can straight criminals be allowed to run the country?
The tariffs’ function is to hurt enough that companies and nations beg for their removal. Then Trump can enjoy their grovelling and apply leverage.
Now watch and see how long will it be before the Bully Mob Boss starts to say that Steve Liesman is a 'loser', blah blah blah....
You're such an easy Bully to figure out Trump... YOU are the loser!
I hope we don’t have another case of assuming anything’s “too stupid to be true”

……..This economic hurricane is coming regardless Donnie !!!!
Just like Mexico will pay for the wall.
The tariffs aren't so much an indictment of Trump as it is of everyone who voted for him and currently supports him.
That formula is also a lie. The whole thing is a scam. When will people wake the fk up
*Typo intended
Seriously flawed. Might as well have had a flock of pigeons pick raffle tickets.
It's like finding a delicate flower growing in a blizzard
Puts a smile on my face while I freeze to death
And in breaking news, it has been discovered that water is wet.
it’s an island surrounded by water.
(Prob wet water)
Your fave orange prez Trump
If your surprised you blew it...
All of the know it all rich men saw him coming and waved him in.
*crickets*
But what he is doing is illegal that’s the homily!
The stock market is plummeting thanks to him!
The only one making money is Muskrat, The Lying King and their friends!
He deliberately lied about tariffs being paid by the foreign country.
The journalists sat back and allowed him to get that talking point out there unchallenged.
Just like they keep using Trump's terms like "Liberation Day" and "short term pain".
And this surprises Liesman? Donald Trump is dumb about everything. And he thinks lying covers up his stupidity. WTF, mainstream media? I'm beginning to think that you're as dumb as Trump.
Impulsive not methodical.
Vengeful not collaborative.
Counterproductive not constructive.
Depending on how long Trump is allowed to maintain this debacle, he may set the US back for years if not decades.
