minus-squareyannic@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up9arrow-down1·1 month agoI’m not sure what the tarrifs currently are, but I’m not sure this is as dramatic as it sounds. As an example, if the tarrifs are currently 30%, raising them 10% over and above what they currently are would make them 33%, right? …right? Then again, he’s already proven that he can’t do maths
minus-square4am@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up13·1 month agoYeah no he means that if they’re 30% he’s making them 40%. Again, unilaterally and without the vote of Congress, which hems supposed to need. Can someone please remove him? What the fuck are we even doing here?
