President Trump’s New Tariffs Just Dropped… And the Math Behind Them Makes ZERO Sense.
In this video, I break down the bizarre formula behind the “reciprocal” tariffs announced by President Trump on April 2, 2025. While these tariffs are being positioned as fair and equal, the actual calculations used by the administration are deeply flawed — and based on a major economic error.
✅ We’ll walk through the exact formula used by Trump’s team
✅ Explain why it doesn’t hold up to basic economic logic
✅ And reveal how a simple elasticity mistake inflated these tariffs by 4X
This isn’t about politics — it’s about facts, math, and how government policy impacts YOUR wallet. With the S&P 500 down 9% and recession risks climbing, getting this right matters.
📊 Watch until the end to understand what the correct tariff rates should be — and how fixing this mistake could help the U.S. economy.
