FTR, the US stock market has lost about $9TRILLION, since the Turd Reich was established, 20Jan2025.

$5Tn lost in the past TWO DAYS. That represents, roughly 16% of the US GDP ($30.3Tn Dec 2024). Total loss is about 27% of the US GDP. The US economy represents just about 1/3 of Global GDP. Yes, 10% off the World's economy, in a fell swoop.

NEVER, at any point of American History such damage was done to US Economy, by any "leadership".

WHY? Because none of those imbeciles ever attended a single day of Economics, and their godhead bankrupted casinos (plural). So they asked an "ai" chat bot. Naturally. Smells like #musk.

So, Indonesia $18Bn/$28Bn (trade deficit over total trade) equals .64 or 64% for the math challenged.

THAT is how the brilliant inbred cretinoid nazi fashy figured it out.

There are no adults in the room.

Indonesia got slapped with 65% tariffs.

(why Indonesia? Given example, shut up, walk with me)

Trade data from 2022 shows Indonesia total export to US in the order of ~$28Bn. The US trade deficit ("we buy more from them than they buy from us") is ~$18Bn

So, the GENIOUSES at the White Supremacy House asked some dumbfuck LLM chat bot how to do tariffs. Then they got the slop of dividing trade deficit by total trade.
