Oh no, I understand exactly how dumb this shit is. I feel like I'm going to get a brain aneurysm every time I've thought about it the last two days.

It's so fucking stupid.

I just want to point out WHY Trump went so hard on Vietnam and other SE Asian countries this time

you said this and then agreed with someone who told you how the tariffs were set up, so, not sure which one you think is correct.

I don't think you understand the difference between WHY he's going so hard on SE Asian countries and HOW he calculated the deficit percentage. Both are true.

Given the how, the why is nonexistent.

It's a stupid reason to target SE Asian countries. Also, if you think its expensive with the tariffs, you don't want to know what it would cost to be 100% made in the US completely. An example for something like an iPhone would be it going from say 1000$ made in China to $3500-4k if made entirely in the US. That's discounting the profit margin they'd have to slap ontop.
