At last I have something in common with Trump. Neither of us understands how tariffs work.

Holy fuck.
This is absolute deranged madness.
Does he not realise that smaller poorer countries need higher tariffs against larger richer countries to protect their economies ffs.

Dear President Trump, making it more expensive for US citizens to buy UK cars is not going to make UK citizens buy more US cars.

With every lie and idiotic utterance out of the psychotic shitstain's mouth, Liberation day looks more like money Incineration Day. As expected, the stock market is in freefall. Trump sounds like a deranged patient who escaped from a mental institution. pic.twitter.com/y577nzeW49

Just brilliant. Because Indonesia has a high tax on coffee imports, Trump's going to put a 32% tax on coffee imports from Indonesia – even though the US exports no coffee to Indonesia (or most anywhere else). He literally does not understand the concept of comparative advantage. pic.twitter.com/tSjpERe8pN
