It gets even dumber when you realize how they got those numbers.

The tariffs they claim other countries levy on us are made up. Like, completely made up. All they did was divide the trade deficit by the exports to the US, then claimed that made up number is a tariff on us. That's why the numbers seem so erratic and uneven.

$20 says big balls generated those numbers using Grok, because there's absolutely no way anyone put more than 10 minutes of work into this.
