Here's an explainer for the method behind calculating the tariffs
It has been described as both "crude" and "6th grade maths"
One thing is clear - there is nothing reciprocal about them
The tariff chart Trump presented was very obviously misleading even on the quickest of glances but it was clearly even dumber than I initially thought. It's mind-boggling how stupid that calculation is. Even though Trump is in the position where he can keep making even obvious lies about anything and still have his voters back him up on it things just keep surprising me in how low it can go. I now fondly look back to when I just had to shake my head and laugh at the statement that trade deficits are really bad.
This is just a declaration of trade war so the only response is to return it in kind. It will be a terrible economic time but there's still much more downside to giving in to an aggressor like that.
It'll be interesting to see how the world reacts.
Yes, historically a country targeted by tariffs would return in kind.
But this might just be too stupid. To follow suit makes them equally retarded.
what really gonna happen isn't bringing down the deficit and bringing manufacturing jobs back to America.
it's going to bring other countries together and trade without the US.
Isolate yourself from the world stage and destroy US soft power in this one trick
Even if it does bring manufacturing jobs back to America, how many Americans are looking for minimum wage manufacturing jobs?
Imagine if they have to bring in a load of immigrants to do the jobs.
I don't think Americans realize what kind of war they signed up for when multiple countries hit them where it works
he's waffled so much it's clear he doesn't have an actual plan, "carrot or stick" is simply the only way he knows how to "negotiate."
Will the US respond? Big call.
