Just figured out where these fake tariff rates come from. They didn't actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us.
So we have a $17.9 billion trade deficit with Indonesia. Its exports to us are $28 billion. $17.9/$28 = 64%, which Trump claims is the tariff rate Indonesia charges us. What extraordinary nonsense this is.
Replying to @JamesSurowiecki
It's also important to understand that the tariff rates that foreign countries are supposedly charging us are just made-up numbers. South Korea, with which we have a trade agreement, is not charging a 50% tariff on U.S. exports. Nor is the EU charging a 39% tariff.

Former WH COS John Kelly has told friends, about Trump: “The depths of his dishonesty is just astounding to me. The dishonesty, the transactional nature of every relationship, though it's more pathetic than anything else. He is the most flawed person I have ever met in my life."

I said I was going to speak out. I prefer a twitter feed of mean cats & sweet dogs but we need to change what it means to be ‘police’ in America. So I spoke out. Here is something personal I wrote. I appreciate the @washingtonpost giving me this chance

When I was 4, my family lived in Hungary. Soviet tanks would periodically traverse residential streets in a show of force. Surreal enough to see that in the present-day US. But to see people shot at, in spite of obeying the curfew (which allows them to be outside in their yard)!

Police just raided the gas station we were sheltering at. After shouting press multiple times and raising my press card in the air, I was thrown to the ground. Then another cop came up and peppered sprayed me in the face while I was being held down.
Two college students drove home from an Atlanta protest after curfew Saturday. One took a video of an arrest in progress. Police response against their car escalated and then intensified further when an officer shouted, "Gun." tinyurl.com/yaz5euro

White people rolling up handing Black men bricks to throw during the protests? Glad a Black woman was there to set they asses straight. – at Los Angeles, CA
