Really smart guy here warns the media not to call these "reciprocal" tariffs.
Maybe "arbitrary" tariffs? "Capricious" tariffs?
Gobbledegook tariffs?
Gonna need a word, folks. Any other ideas?

So just to recap:
1. The reciprocal tariffs aren't reciprocal. The rates announced by Trump are unrelated to the tariffs charged by other countries.
Imports from Brazil, which imposes relatively high tariffs, will face lower rates than countries that impose little or no tariffs on US goods.
