OT: American Politics

[axlsalinger]

I admire anyone who actually understands this stuff. Every explanation I’ve read about why the Trump admin’s tariff calculations are dumb is completely indecipherable gobbledygook to me.

But clearly whoever they had make these calculations for them is about as dumb as I am when it comes to math.

All you need to know is how somebody described it last night: "kindergarten math"
