    After 100% what’s even the point? Margins on imported goods are already tight, after you price imports out of the market you’re just increasing the number in a meaningless way.

      No logic. Using this as distraction as rest of administration does atrocious things. Flood media with enough bullshit and the most egregious shit gets unnoticed.

      No due process for deported migrants.

      People getting picked up off the streets to never be seen again.

      Orange man floating the idea of US citizens getting sent to foreign prison.

      Oh, and the genocide going on with Israeli govt hardly getting any notice. Have to follow UN directly and parse through their reports.

      We are only 3-4 months into this shit stains presidency/“leadership”.

      Imagine you’re manufacturing an end product that contains 10% of parts that are under tariffs. Your end cost goes up by 10% of that tariff value, i.e. by 24,5% in this case.

      Trump recently said he thinks more extreme tariffs will cause instant business relocation to the US.

        If he’s negotiating with countries, then he doesn’t care if they build factories here, he just wants bribes.
