      People are saying if you ask ChatGPT the easiest way to do a global tariff based on trade deficits with a minimum of 10 percent - it spits out the exact same numbers.

          I swear that if we could just all ignore him unless he does nice things, we'll make him stop. The tariffs are not his plan. That's someone else.pulling the strings. He just likes the attention. Giving a malignant narcissist any kind of supply is just going to make him worse.

          Gray rock the shit out of him.

            Thanks for typing out the percentages, so far I've only seen emotional news reports about it without any detailed info.

            Are these tariffs on ALL goods from a certain country? Eg, does 34% on China mean 34% on ALL Chinese goods or just certain ones like cars?

            Well, one of two things will happen now.

            • The US economy will recede by roughly 30% over the coming years (classified by economists as "catastrophic collapse")

            • It will turn out that trade was "fake and gay" all along and autarky is the way to go, despite centuries of historic lessons to the contrary.

            Take your pick.

              • Some goods will not be subject to the Reciprocal Tariff. These include: (1) articles subject to 50 USC 1702(b); (2) steel/aluminum articles and autos/auto parts already subject to Section 232 tariffs; (3) copper, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, and lumber articles; (4) all articles that may become subject to future Section 232 tariffs; (5) bullion; and (6) energy and other certain minerals that are not available in the United States.

                I mean, this will suck in rhe short term, but these companies will exit the U.S. market if it gets to be uneconomical, and we'll be fucked, not them. Trump's I Am sO sMaRt comments all the time will make him look like an even bigger idiot than he already does.

                If we actually want manufacturing in the U.S., give companies incentives to do business here. This is the opposite of incentives.

                The glue eating rageaholic is doing the opposite of this. He's going to tarrif farming EXPORTS from the US.

                Never in our history has america had such a stupid president.

                    I don't know what the actual reasoning is but the 49% on Cambodia and Vietnam sounds an awful lot like how we still embargo Cuba like decades after failing to overthrow Castro.

                      30% seems pretty generous. Nevermind the complete collapse of trade and alliances we built over the past century, won't countries stop using the us dollar as the backing reserve? Which will likely set america on an even further downward trend, especially since the dollar isn't on the gold standard anymore?

                          I'm all for "it's benefitting the billionaires," and that's what tariffs do, but most of the ultra-wealthy's money is tied up in the market, too.

                          Some of the administration's actions really are them drinking their own Kool-aid. Like, what they've done to the HHS is objectively detrimental to the ultra-wealthy old guys too.

                          The ultra-wealthy have enough of a buffer to buy out all the middling-wealthy when they go bankrupt. They can buy the dip without themselves going bankrupt.

                              Figured out where these fake tariff rates come from that Trump is claiming. They didn't actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us.

                              So we have a $17.9 billion trade deficit with Indonesia. Its exports to us are $28 billion. $17.9/$28 = 64%, which Trump claims is the tariff rate Indonesia charges us. What extraordinary nonsense this is.

                              Copied from twitter from someone who’s suffering insomnia right now.

                                  Thanks for pointing that out. If that is true, it is completely deranged.

                                    Ok to be fair… You may come as long as you’re a queer / trans baddie or if your name is Luigi, or take the “death to America” pledge. 😌

                                    Why would I say that? The country is already dead.

                                      But like, could I come visit if I need to seek asylum? That would be different than tourism, right? I'm not really happy or comfortable with the situation here, nor have my efforts been able to change other people's views (e.g. make them think about consequences).

                                      Immigrants are welcome, tourists as well.

                                        Thanks for typing out the percentages, so far I've only seen emotional news reports about it without any detailed info.

                                        Are these tariffs on ALL goods from a certain country? Eg, does 34% on China mean 34% on ALL Chinese goods or just certain ones like cars?

                                        Well, one of two things will happen now.

                                        • The US economy will recede by roughly 30% over the coming years (classified by economists as "catastrophic collapse")

                                        • It will turn out that trade was "fake and gay" all along and autarky is the way to go, despite centuries of historic lessons to the contrary.

                                        Take your pick.

                                          Boycott the USA. Do not consume American products. Do not travel to the US. Cancel your subscriptions, find alternatives or pirate their software and media. Make Americans tourists feel unwelcome.

                                          I'm an American, and I endorse this message.
