Our most authoritative sourcing for the actual tariff policy just announced in a deliriously confusing rose garden event is someone texting with the 27-year-old press secretary on the sidelines of the event.

One big point amid all the headlines: I was texting with press secretary Karoline Leavitt during the event and she confirms that the 34 percent tariff on China is ON TOP of the previous 20 percent. So that means the rate on China will be *54* percent when these tariffs take effect.
