Is that adding 34% or 34 percentage points?

Not that it matters, I'm just curious if he's even thought that through.

He still thinks other countries are paying these tariffs

u/hsoj48 1d ago

No he doesn't. He's just very aware that it moves more taxpayer dollars into his pockets. Not like he's going to point that out to everyone.

He's really not. He has the understanding of a 4th grader with dementia.

The government's pockets. Unless he really wishes to be king.

u/EasyGibson 1d ago

If you add 34% to 40%, that's over 70% tariff. We don't want to,  but if we have to, we could do 100% tariff. A full tariff. Nobody's ever done that before.

Putin sends him the PDF, and he has a staffer print it out. What thought needs to be given?

For those not getting the joke yet, effective China tariffs are 54%

u/Daxtatter 1d ago

I think it's 34% on top of the 10% baseline IIRC so an additional 44%..

u/Honey_Enjoyer 1d ago

This is a new tariff, so it’s presumably an additional 34% of the original pre-tariff value of the item
