Genius move to lose $9 trillion of actual value to try to address a smaller trade deficit that isn’t an actual debt.
Trade war is on: From meat to toilet paper, EU imposes $28 billion in tariffs on U.S. products, making goods more expensive for billions and pushing global economies toward recession https://www.byteseu.com/897209/ #DonaldTrumpLatestNews #DonaldTrumpNews #DonaldTrumpTariffs #Europe #TrumpTariffs #TrumpTariffsNews

Oops! A #Trump Administration #math error (using retail price elasticity instead of the import price elasticity) made the #trumptariffs 4 times higher than if they used their published formula variables correctly. I'm pretty sure this is the most expensive math mistake in US history as stock markets continue crashing wiping out trillions of dollars.

Nor do you become a $trn gadget company by pricing items past the purchase threshold ...
... esp. when the cost of living for a large portion of the consumer base has been stretched close to the breaking point even before those insane Trump-tariffs were crushing the economy and hiking every single prize.

“At least 121,361 workers have been fired from federal agencies so far, as of CNN’s latest tally on March 28.”
And more will soon be fired. Private sector workers are beginning too in response to work related to Federal programs and the #TrumpTariffs. 1/2

A de facto "critical-minerals embargo" being imposed by #China on the #US was to be expected.
In fact, it is somewhat surprising that President #Xi did not implement it sooner, after the #US cut off high-end GPUs for #China, which are critical for the #AI race.
It might even be a wise strategy to counter Trump's de facto all-out global #TradeWar.

More than 1,200 protests have erupted across the United States against President Donald Trump.
I see that an Australian economist shares @pluralistic 's idea that a suitable reaction to the #TrumpTariffs is to weaken IP laws benefitting US corporations.

Mr. Doctorow suggests cancelling legal penalties protecting DRM; Prof. Gross favours weakening patent protection of American pharmaceutical companies.
Unlike counter-vailing tariffs, these are measures that would hurt US business and benefit other countries.
Says here that each Mar-a-Lago golf junket cost taxpayers $3,383,250 (estimate from a 2019 GAO report). Conservative estimate based on inflation translates to ~$4.2 million today. We ought to have a trump golf cost calculator that runs since the tariffs went into effect. He's such a caring, thoughtful, economical individual.
