It's funny how the stupidest people of this year - the "Don't worry about what Trump says, he doesn't mean it" brigade - were also the stupidest people of all the Brexit/Truss/Johnson years. It's not funny how they still occupy almost all of the major roles in the commentariat.

This explanation seems horrific but sound. 10%tariffs if your balance of trade is roughly equal. It’s a shakedown & a protection racket. He’ll lift them by domestic sector and even maybe individual companies, as well as perhaps the occasional nation, as a reward for pledges of blind allegiance.
