86% of the US ecnomy is unrelated to imports. The impact of tariffs are minor here but major to other countries.

What a dumb statement. Ask WalMart or Apple about that. Maybe, just maybe, that's why Trump backed down again and gave Apple a special break. Ya' think?

And I'm sure you can explain why the dollar is crashing, and 10-year bonds are doing the same. Them "other countries" are telling us they don't want anything to do with our $36 trillion (and growing) debt-ridden country and the associated disaster we're barreling toward. Them tariffs we're were just pouring gasoline on a fire. Way to go Trump.

And you're trying to tell us it don't matter? Well, maybe some goofball may believe your crazy statement. I sure don't.

That road we've been kicking the can down is getting so much closer to a dead-end street.

I am not sure you can do basic math but I will show you some numbers on how ridiculous this fake brouhaha is over the tariff.

Total world GDP = $109 trillion/yr

Total US GDP = $27 trillion/yr

Expect revenue from increased US tariffs = $400 billion/yr.

So bird brain, tariff revenue compared to world GDP is .4/109 = .003%/yr ( a number so small it isn't even a rounding error )

Tariff revenue compared to the US GDP is .4/27 = .02% ( again not even a rounding error ) .

Numbers don't lie bird brain.
