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.

Hey there, oh, great one. Let me tell you bout some numbers. From Trump's so-called Independence Day to last Friday....

-Dow lost over 2000 points
-Dollar fell to its lowest point in over three years
-10 yr bonds increased over 50 basis points

Them there are real numbers that affect us all. And it's just the beginning.

By the way, ask Walmart about your meaningless GDP numbers. I'm pretty sure you'll get an earful. But, again, maybe not. Trump may cave like he did on all the country tariffs or the China Apple tariffs.
