I would explain about why his tariffs are nuts, but I have never seen you learn anything!

Here is a Cliff Note: take Bangladesh, one of the poorest countries in the world.

First, Trump lied about how much countries are charging us. In most cases it was just 1% or 2%, and he raises it to 20/25% and more.

And he uses trade imbalances instead of tariffs. Which NO economist uses raw!!

So poor Bangladesh gets hit with a 37% tariff because they have a bad trade deficit.

But they have no money to buy any of our stuff, BUT they do provide us with cheap cloths--AND that is our reward.

Trump putting these huge tariffs on Bangladesh, is like his cutting USAID food and medical aid to 58 million starving people.

Above all else Trump is an evil monster and the world knows it and intends to force him into submission by hurting us economically.

Trump has brought this on us with his bullying and bellicose behavior!!

He couldn't wait to bully people with the might of the US, and now we are all paying the price!

Get it!!??
