Live updates: Trump announces sweeping tariffs
-
Trump has no idea how the economy works, his wealth is propped up by Russian oligarchs laundering money through his assets.
This move is almost certainly being directed to him through foreign agents the traitor has as advisors (though they consider themselves handlers) on behalf of Putin and other regimes hostile to the US who back door'd their way into the situation through his greed and lack of morality.

I think you're reading too much into that.
They're either under "Rest of world" like the EU, or the US doesn't import anything from it, which as it's under sanctions, it shouldn't - nor export to.
-
I checked and this does seem to fit for Switzerland.
Trade deficit of US to Switzerland: 38.5 B
Exports from Switzerland to US: 63.4 BRatio of the two: 61%
Half of that as "reciprocal" tariff: 31%

Nope they should have realised that even though they "own" this government, the president is communicating with a foreign server they don't own.

Wait, what?
-
The owners of the corporations own the govt. They are loyal to no company and no country. They can take their money anywhere, but so long as they are in the us they would prefer that the tax burden be shifted onto the people and off of them, with as few restrictions as possible on their own behavior.
The owners are still quite happy with trump. It's all of the littler con voters who are hopefully now reconsidering their vote.

It will have an effect on other countries, but fuck up the US economy the worst. Other countries have the benefit of having 190+ other countries to do trade with. Over the next few years, they will increasingly go for alternatives to whatever they've previously traded with the US. Thanks to the stable genius, the US will permanently be left poorer, while other countries will soon have economic growth again.

I have to get bigger bootstraps.

Like the EU?

The corporate sponsors are only needed for elections. No elections, no sponsors...
