So, the idiot administration in the US has released their "reciprocal tariffs" that aren't actually reciprocal.
An economist figured out where they got their bogus percentages from; it would be amusing in its stupidity if it weren't so serious. No one involved understands what a trade surplus or trade deficit is, or what it means.
But they also announced rates on "countries" that aren't countries, just territories of another nation.
They announced rates on islands that have 0 human inhabitants, and 0 economic activity, and therefore cannot possibly have a trade surplus with the US.
They announced a tariff rate on an American military base.
It is a clown show.
The question is: where did they get this bogus data from?
Was their big chart of tariff rates generated by an #LLM?
