1/ To expand on this angry cry from the soul with a bit of substance. Long rant coming, sorry.

When Trump first started talking about "Reciprocal Tariffs" he claimed to mean a mirroring.

If Barbados has a 15% tariff on US shoes, the US applies a 15% tariff on Bajan shoes to match, and so on...
Note to journalists:

You don't have to mindlessly repeat Trump's branding of the tariffs coming today as "Reciprocal" if as leaks suggest he just picks a big round number and applies it widely.

Yes, even if he claims he has 15-20% grievance against every country he targets.

Words mean things.

I'm so tired of Trump's face, his voice, his ridiculous words, his nutty cabinet members, his awful voters, his imploding country. This 24/7 rolling atrocity of a presidency that poisons the entire world.
