Where is the explanation on paper. Peer reviewed article?
Can we offset these tariffs? (go)fund-me for "Help Give Mabel the Pigeon a Cozy Setup"
My biggest issue is that their equation doesn't seem to account for the difference in GDP. Why would we expect a poorer country to buy the same amount from us as we do from them?
Trump does what US should've done 30 years ago; globalists in all fields are in disarray. Apparently most democrats can't figure out the word reciprocal… use google! thank god for outsourcing your intelligence to AI at least we can have some relief from your natural stupidity.
Running up that hill Is better than Running down that hill.😊😊😊
here's some news about tariffs, we were about to build a house……now it's on hold, thanks trump! Canada has nothing but natural resources to sell, OF COURSE there's gonna be a trade deficit, what stupidity, Canada doesn't buy a lot of bud light from america. "they are charging us" , if you look into it canada is only applying tariffs after quotas are met…..quota levels that never get met, and the tariffs never get charged. Trump is a lyer
The FBI says about 50% of scams go unreported because the victims of the scam are too ashamed and embrassed they fell for the scam. The idiots who still support Trump are like that.
The tariffs have successfully met the target. They made the Wall Street tumble that those Trump's inner circle can buy the stocks at the lowest price.
Orange child capitulated 😂😂not even a week….weak 😂😂
One country with one lunatic leader controlling the world markets. This is not acceptable!
The pushback from these so-called trade analysts who never achieved anything is disgusting. So we shouldn't try anything to better our position and just accept trade deficits and trillions in debt?? I'll put my money on Lutnick, Bessent & Trump any day!
Trump is trading the stock market with his tariffs. Today in the afternoon, during TRADING HOURS, he announced he's postponing all tariffs except China. He's buying when the market drops then selling after his announcements. NO DOUBT IN MY MIND.

"Countries are coming to me on their knees" Trump said. They're begging me for relief. It's almost more than I can stand. Almost."
Donnie Just Lost The Trade War and Now Hell Try and Spin it as a Win. China and The EU told him to stick it and the US bond market started selling off which terrified him. Remove Him Now! IMPEACH!
Trump is a Genius! Trump is a financial Dynamo! Thru his genius, Trump invented this dynamic formula that will be taught for generations!
SNL Logic made more sense
was fascinated by the HAIR at 2:50, floats just like the tariff
America under Trump = people full of hatred !
Trump will destroy America’s legacy and will take it backwards ! Congratulations 🎈
It is very stupid to not account for population when looking at tariffs. A large country like the USA (340 million) will need and buy in more goods than a small country with under 100 million people. Common sense! Canada has a population of 40 million and buy in more per person than the USA. Exports to Canada in 2024 were 349.4 billion and imports from Canada to the USA were 412.7 billion. If you look at the differences in population it would seem that Canada's 40 million people buy a lot more per person than the USA's 340 million people.
The whole world will never trust USA anymore and anylonger as it is the past now that the rest of 195 countries across the world will ever trust USA anymore and anylonger maybe USA will win the tariff war but they will lose most importantly thing in a geopolitical relationship i.e “TRUST”
So it’s Pseudomathematics disguised as calculus.
Best clip of several that I've watched. Thanks
You didnt explain the formula
I shot the tariff. But I did not shoot the subsidy
To boost the costs of transactions among nations is a receipt for a recession I guess: protectionism costs …

A trade deficit occurs when a country imports more goods and services than it exports. In other words, the value of what the country buys from abroad exceeds the value of what it sells to other countries. This is often referred to as having a negative balance of trade.
For example, if Angola imports $10 billion worth of goods but only exports $7 billion, it would have a trade deficit of $3 billion.
The main causes of a trade deficit often stem from a mix of economic, structural, and external factors. Here are some of the key contributors:
High Domestic Demand for Imports: When a country's consumers and businesses prefer foreign goods and services over locally produced ones, it leads to higher imports.
Weak Export Sector: If a country lacks a competitive export sector due to low productivity, outdated technology, or limited resources, it may struggle to sell goods abroad.
Exchange Rates: A strong domestic currency makes imports cheaper and exports more expensive, leading to an increase in imports and a decline in exports.
Trade Policies: Policies such as high tariffs or restrictive practices by trading partners can hinder exports, while low tariffs on imports might encourage buying foreign goods.
Economic Growth: Rapid economic growth can increase demand for imports, especially when local industries cannot keep up with demand.
Structural Issues: Factors such as insufficient infrastructure, poor education systems, or a lack of investment can make it difficult for a country to compete globally.
Reliance on Certain Commodities: When a country heavily depends on exporting a limited range of commodities, any price drop or reduced demand for those goods can shrink export revenues.
Courteously!

Muh stonks.
Truly idiotic. No need to say no more.
The trade deficit is compensated by the capital surplus.
