In a way, inventing numbers to pretend other countries are charging us imaginary tariffs is of a piece with the tried-and-tested MAGA strategy: Pick someone you want to hurt, and make up some way they are attacking you to rationalize the harm you inflict on them.

As everyone grapples with the enormous tax increase Trump imposed even while greenlighting the Senate plan for tax cuts for people like Elon, remember that Elon ALSO carved a $500B hole in IRS revenues with his chainsaw.

Here's another fun one.
The European Union is tariffed at 20%.
French Guiana, which is an overseas department of France, is separately tariffed at 10%.
Enjoy that loophole, Europe!

This is true: The Trump administration said it has imposed a 10% tariff on the British Indian Ocean Territory, whose only inhabitants are the U.S. and U.K. service members at the military base on Diego Garcia.
Incredibly, this appears to be true. We tariffed our own (jointly operated with the UK) military base.

I watched all his rallies during the campaign. Saw all his interviews. Never saw this chart or heard anything about “short-term pain.”
