> justify massive so-called "reciprocal" tariffs
I just want to point out that this "reciprocal" nonsense was in no way calculated or strategic. The chart/table they showed was literally LLM-generated and no one could explain how they got those numbers. It's a complete circus and we're sitting here refuting bullshit everyday.
- donavanm 8mo ago> no one could explain how they got those numbers. Not quite. The big board percentages were effectively us (imports - exports) / imports * 0.5 ~ fuzzy adjustment based on feels. Your point remains theyre amateurish and bely a lack of any grounding to actual foreign import duties. But that is a direct way of representing a mercantilist world view where net imports bad, exports strong. https://www.investopedia.com/trade-experts-question-trump-team-method-for-calculating-tariffs-11708336 https://www.investopedia.com/trade-experts-question-trump-te...
