I'm not an economist. I'm not expert or even a user of AI. I cannot therefore say whether the "revelation" from various US commentators are correct or just more BS.
The claim however is that the alleged tariffs imposed on the US by various countries (some mentioned on the Felon's big scoreboard have a zero population) are false. There has been no examination of export/import charges.
Instead if you apply a formula which is trade deficit/exports to the US, you get to the tariff the Felon claims exists.
Take Indonesia. Deficit 17.9bn, exports to US $28bn. Deficit is 64% of exports which is the tariff the orange baby claims exists.
Repeat this for each country mentioned for tariffs above the base 10% rate and the equation works every time.
I suspect that the any actual calculation of barriers to import/export are way beyond the intellectual grip or attention span of the Felon and so his minions had to simplify it.
On a different thread Mr Jellybaby asked me if I thought Trump was just a tool of his (Jelly's) cherished "global elite" based on the fact that he was just too stupid to run the USA on his own. No proof of said global elite or their Jedi mind tricks was of course offered).
I have no doubt that the Felon lacks intelligence (he mistakes belligerence as intelligence) and that the cult members around him are too scared to call him out. (Because they will be sacked and the DoJ will be unleashed upon them).
If however there is this cabal which has been at work for centuries and which apparently control dictators like Putin, Orbal, the Chinese Communist Party, etc why would they blow their cover with somebody like Trump?

If you asked Trump to point to the Indian Ocean on a map, he'd probably struggle to find it. |  |

Hard to describe Trump (and his yes men cabinet) what they hope to achieve by this crazy action.
He really does believe, that Millions will be added to US treasury and hasn't a clue how Tariffs work.
Over $trillion has been wiped off US stocks today. Nasdaq/tech stocks tanking,
Some senior Republicans are starting to speak up and about time.
I feel sorry for the poor penguins in the Heard and McDonald Islands. How are they going to pay the tariffs ? | | | |

He’d struggle to understand what a map actually was, let alone where the Indian Ocean was upon it. | |

US will be up in arms when they realise the price of their Nike trainers and clothing made in Vietnam goes through the roof, with 46% tariffs.
Trump really believes that these companies should be making this stuff in US. Even if they did move their manufacturing back to US, which would take years, the prices would still increase as a result of increased labour costs.
Nike shares down 11% today - what a surprise.
This all seems very logical to me, but not Trump. [Post edited 3 Apr 16:57]

Spot on regarding the cost of the Nike products if made in the USA. New Balance actually do make a small range of their seasonal offering in the USA and in fact in the UK as well (up in Flimby, Cumbria). NB tend to market them as premium ‘Made in the USA / Made in the UK’ product ranges. If you look at the cost of the made in the USA range a pair of trainers that would cost around £100 > £120 if made in Vietnam cost £200 > £230. It is even worse for the clothing as the cost differences for sourcing the fabrics made in the USA or UK are higher for clothing than most of the materials used in the footwear production process so a crew or hooded sweatshirt is up to £175 and a t-shirt up to £70!! NB sweats made overseas? £60/£70. Same applies to the ‘Made in the UK’ footwear although the production quality of the UK made shoes is excellent. The evidence is there for the orange idiot to see, all he has to do is look at the NB website… Nike Air will become Nike Hot Air as there will be a lot of angry Americans. Adidas will just love it!
