    They appear to be completely made up. There is no basis for what these numbers are. For example, the UK charges, on average, about 1.0% as a tariff on imports from the US. They claimed it was 10% (because that is the minimum that they could claim and claim that they are "reciprocal").

    It’s incomprehensible. It’s a meandering montage of Trump’s greatest hits.

    Is the percentage just to get to a total projected dollar amount of US tariff that equals the tariffs imposed by XYZ nation?

    Nope. We export very little to some of these countries that are extremely small or poor. These numbers appear to be pulled out of somebody's rectum.

    Thus, a regressive tax on middle class Americans and give away to the wealthy.

    Yep. Noticeably absent from the list was Canada and Mexico. I guess they decided not to invent numbers for them like the 16 random countries that they said had tariffs of exactly 10% on our exports.

    He claimed that Singapore had tariffs of 10% on our products. We have a free trade agreement with them. They literally don't have tariffs on US imports (outside of a couple of sin taxes because Singapore is kind of weird).

    Sean Hannity is a cuck. We can only hope his show gets canceled one day and he finds himself on the streets. Complete and total talentless bum who’s made a career from spreading misinformation.

    wouldn't the wealthy benefit the most from ending tax on Social Security?

    With negative unemployment, and 0% inflation.

    And we're gonna get all this because everything's been so unfair to us Americans.

    This is why the event started at 4. When he pulled out that stupid chart, if it happened at 3, as initially planned, you could watch the markets tank in real-time in the corner.
