Date: April 2nd, 2025 4:42 PM Author: Louis Poasteur Because the other countries don't have higher tariffs on the US on the whole than the US has on them, Trump just says that and people believe him without actually looking into it. He is erratically and unilaterally applying extremely high tariffs, not reciprocal tariffs, because he ascribes to a crackpot theory of international trade that no credible economist ascribes to and which caused countries like Argentina to go from the first world to the third world (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5704002&forum_id=2:#48808091) |

Date: April 2nd, 2025 4:57 PM Author: Louis Poasteur Well to start, Canada and Mexico, the US's two largest trading partners, have had a "free trade agreement" with the US for 30+ years where nearly all goods are traded tariff-free, and Trump is trashing that agreement unilaterally while crowing that the US will "easily win a trade war" against these free trade partners, which is clear that a trade war, not trade fairness, against America's closest trading partners is what he wants.
World Bank data on countries by weighted average tariff:
https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/TM.TAX.MRCH.WM.AR.ZS?most_recent_value_desc=false
The US has higher average tariffs than Canada, for example.
https://www.theglobaleconomy.com/rankings/herit_trade_freedom/
The Heritage Foundation lists the US at 65th in the world for trade freedom, not "1st" or whatever Trump claims. |

Date: April 2nd, 2025 5:20 PM Author: Louis Poasteur Great pasted screenshot, retard. These made up numbers printed by the current administration are certainly convincing, but here's a tip for next time: tariffs aren't single values for each country, they vary greatly by product; they don't also happen to be exactly "10%" for like a third of the countries. You should also make up numbers for Canada and Mexico next time rather than just excluding the US's two largest trade partners with whom the US has a free trade agreement that Trump is violating.

Date: April 2nd, 2025 11:48 PM Author: Louis Poasteur Turns out these numbers are a bizarre re-calculation of the trade deficit with each country and were calculated by ChatGPT, probably earlier this morning. So in conclusion, kill yourself. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5704002&forum_id=2:#48809559) |

Date: April 2nd, 2025 5:24 PM Author: Louis Poasteur I don't know, why would you? You do realize that other countries don't have 25% tariffs on American autos or American aluminum and steel? They also don't have blanket 10% tariffs on all American goods. Trump wants a trade war not to "level the playing field" which is him completely bullshitting as always, but because he ascribes to a fringe crackpot theory of trade that no credible economist ascribes to and because he likes the feeling of emotional friction and conflict that it creates.
