Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

OMG. I was wondering that as the tariff numbers made no sense, but this is even dumber than I thought. I mean, this is "fail your econ 101 class and have to go meet with the professor" bad.
james surowiecki has discovered where the completely fabricated trump tariff rate has come from for each country
"...for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us."

"Your retirement account is only down 5.5%, that's not a lot" sounds like excellent messaging and I strongly encourage Fox News and Republicans to double down on it.
SANDRA SMITH: The market since election day is almost flat. It's only down 2% since Trump was elected president again. And since inauguration day, it's down 5.5%.
ROBERT WOLF: That's a lot
SMITH: That's a lot?
WOLF: 5.5% is a lot

And in other news, the Trump administration is dropping US cyber defenses against Russia.
It’s almost as if Trump is colluding with Putin.
