Trump is LYING about other countries' tariffs -- by as much as 3-10x
Literally ZERO countries in the world have tariffs as high as Trump is claiming.

Gonna be a lot of global corruption as a result of these tariffs.
This president is ruining this country.

Protect Democracy.
The billionaire sees this as a buying opportunity. I'm not a trader or a billionaire. I'm retired with a sinking 401K.
Well actually,
they just asked Grok.
Same as the DOGE cuts.
If his lips are flapping he is lying! Guaranteed
Looks like Russia is now US' closest ally, and soon may receive "Most Favored Nation" trading status.
Tariffing half the World yesterday has no relationship to this.
--> to give to his cronies (congress CR gives him the power)
--> to legally steal from the poor (SCOTUS ruling)
(about everything everywhere all the time)

The guy has crashed an entire nation economy because he doesn’t understand how trade works and thinks a trade deficit means you’re “losing” to those countries
He’s an imbecile
The telling thing is that people who sound reasonably well educated are spouting his nonsense (ie sales taxes are tariffs too, when other countries levy them) in defence of this. It points to a hidden agenda behind this: what $/loyalty can US companies give him to relieve the pain inflicted?
With that, he is at least consistent.
Trump Advisors: We'll just ask Chat GPT a way to write the formula as complicated as possible.
Normal Person: Why would you do that?
Trump Advisors: It makes us look smart to dumb people.

So on brand!
This of course bears no relationship with real tariffs.
You can't trust a damn word he says.
If he's talking, he's lying.

We're in for a depression like we have never seen before.
Be the ant, not the grasshopper. Tough and dark days ahead.

Everything he says is a lie...what's most troubling is the number of US businesses and institutions that will capitulate to Trump's political will to get exemptions and bypass these tariffs. It's a political tool, not an economic one.
The GOODS are brought here and AMERICAN BUSINESSES AND CONSUMERS pay the tariff (customs duty) to import them.
The money goes from the pockets of Americans into the Treasury. A tariff on incoming Chinese, Canadian, or Mexican goods is a tax on Americans.
Doesn’t work as the gap is based on dollars, with no consideration giving to US mfg capacity.
