If you're wondering where the regime got these crazy high tariff rates from...it wasn't in fact tariffs.

James Surowiecki O @JamesSurowiecki Just figured out where these fake tariff rates come from. They didn't actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us. So we have a $17.9 billion trade deficit with Indonesia. Its exports to us are $28 billion. $17.9/$28 = 64%, which Trump claims is the tariff rate Indonesia charges us. What extraordinary nonsense this is. James Surowiecki @JamesSurowiecki - 1h Replying to @JamesSurowiecki It's also important to understand that the tariff rates that foreign countries are supposedly charging us are just made-up numbers. South Korea, with which we have a trade agreement, is not charging a 50% tariff on U.S. exports. Nor is the EU charging a 39% tariff. Nicaragua Norway Costa Rica 10%

@nazgul And that’s how you wind up bankrupting a casino.

I buy booze for my casino.... The wholesaler doesn't spend money in my casino

So I am going to hit my drinks seller with a 500% tariff

That will teach them to fuck with the deal maker

Trumpenomics

Who knew the guy who thought Hannibal Lector was real also failed basic math.
