They aren’t smart
They didn’t apply economic theory
They picked some numbers that Trump liked
They picked a bunch of island territories to make the list longer
They did ZERO analysis
Fucking idiots ruining…
my Country
my State
my local businesses
my professional life
my personal wealth
For instance, Vietnam charges anywhere between 0.85-9.6% on products imported from elsewhere, depending on who you ask.
Trump's board places their rate at 90%.

I verified it with every country I could.
data from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_balance_of_trade plotted against Trumps imaginary tariffs. Small differences might be due to different dataset (mine is from 2023)
Trump, is full of shit & taking $$$ out of YOUR pocket.

But thanks for explaining how they came up with this 💩. Fully proves, no one in the folly house seems to have any understanding on what tariffs are 🙈
The USA does not pay their tariffs and we do not pay theirs.
If we tariff Mexico 25% then WE pay 25% when we import from Mexico.
Trump has it backwards (and said it wrong again today in the Rose Garden speech).
Dipshitz.
