Tariffs Based On Napkin Math

[Rawley]

Try reading what the experts they quoted had to say moron

LOL The "experts" that in 2016 that electing Trump would plunge us into a recession? Those "experts"?

You're just wrong about that. I'm concerned just like everyone else..I think he needs to use tariffs wisely, not this blanket stuff he's doing.

There are some countries that deserve tariffs.

Also, the tariffs can end tomorrow, if those countries just drop their tariffs

The tariffs that they didn’t implement?

White House Used 'Embarrassing' Formula To Come Up With Tariffs

Economists mocked the Trump administration's methods for calculating taxes on imports from abroad.

www.huffpost.com

It has nothing to do with reciprocal tariffs.

This is insane

10% tariff on the UK.

The UK and US have an almost equal trade balance

UK trade with the United States - Office for National Statistics

A closer look at the goods and services the UK trades with the United States.

www.ons.gov.uk

"In 2023, the UK imported £57.9 billion of goods from the United States (10.0% of all goods imports) and exported £60.4 billion of goods (15.3% of all goods exports)."

So, a £2.5 billion difference in goods.

That's 4.3% difference on goods the US exported.

Did you have some other mathematical equations to use? Or are you just bitching about whatever the math was because it doesn’t matter you’ll cry about it anyway.

Paul Krugman: Trump will bring global recession

Krugman's pessimistic view comes in the wake of a more than 800-point plunge in U.S. stock futures.

‘But the reciprocal tariffs turned out not to be based on actual levies imposed by other countries. Instead, they’re based on a formula made up by the White House ― and widely mocked by experts.

Douglas Holtz-Eakin, a conservative economist American Action Forum and former director of the Congressional Budget Office, called it “malpractice” in response to another conservative economist who called it “embarrassing.”’

Trump is often mocked by experts, and appropriately so.

And everything about the Trump regime is embarrassing.

This is just… shocking and incredibly damaging to the nation

The tariffs that they didn’t implement?

I'm not talking about those..I don't understand why he put tariffs on countries that are not putting tariffs on us. But the reciprocal tariffs...I agree with those...in almost all cases. There are a few I do not agree with.

Again. The OP is full of actual economists who are AGHAST and this insanity

It’s not about whether or not it was actually written on a napkin

It’s about the fact that it’s based on bullshit and is going to do GREAT damage

Oh no, the self proclaimed experts are AGHAST! My goodness what shall we do to keep these pearl clutchers calmed down. The last thing we need is the so called experts who have never been right to be AGHAST!

 

[Lesh]

Did you have some other mathematical equations to use? Or are you just bitching about whatever the math was because it doesn’t matter you’ll cry about it anyway.

Let’s try to bring a little sanity here.

Trump’s Tarriffs supposedly were in response to other nations imposing tariffs on us


But they’re not

They are calculated based on how much trade differential there is .

That’s total bullshit.

Did they pass a test or something? Or did some democrat run news agency just decide they were?

I have one test they can try to pass. Have they ever been correct?

They became credentialed class experts by being left wingers.
