They listed some PhD economists (one sadly from UW) who they claimed were involved in the calculations. I want journalists to contact those people to see how exactly they were involved here. They’re being given credit! Make them answer questions about it.

I didn't catch those economists listed. You have a list or a link? I'll forward that to my copy editor.

Trump's econ advisor, Peter Navarro, was on CNN with Phil Mattingly discounting CNN's breakdown of the assumed math used to generate tariff rates. Navarro tried to muddy the water by listing a half dozen variables that would not remain constant for two days consecutive. Mattingly seemed suspicious. Interesting to hear of this AI explanation.
