I have been trying to tell other leftists this for so many years
I have to be honest. I think the people in power are so stupid, sheltered and insane that there's no real overriding goal or strategy to any of this.

Our most authoritative sourcing for the actual tariff policy just announced in a deliriously confusing rose garden event is someone texting with the 27-year-old press secretary on the sidelines of the event.
One big point amid all the headlines: I was texting with press secretary Karoline Leavitt during the event and she confirms that the 34 percent tariff on China is ON TOP of the previous 20 percent. So that means the rate on China will be *54* percent when these tariffs take effect.

Trump is imposing a 10% tariff on the Heard and McDonald Islands.

Trump: "An old fashioned term that we use -- groceries. I used it on the campaign. It's such an old fashioned term, but a beautiful term. Groceries. It says a bag with different things in it."

Stock futures dropped like a rock after the announcement of the tariffs.
This image shows a sharp drop in E-mini S&P 500 Index Futures on April 2, as displayed by Google Finance. Here's a quick breakdown:

    Current Price: 5,584.00 USD

    Previous Close: 5,674.50

The graph shows mostly stable movement overnight, a rise into midday, and then a dramatic and sudden plunge in the afternoon—suggesting either a market reaction to breaking news or a significant trading event.

Trump: "From 1789 to 1913, we were a tariff-backed nation and the US was proportionately the wealthiest it has ever been ... then in 1913, for reason unknown to mankind, they established the income tax."

if you want to share the reciprocal tariffs with alt text, my colleague has you covered!!!
This is the chart of new U.S. “reciprocal tariff” rates that Trump is reading from in the Rose Garden right now.
A photograph showing a black display board titled "Reciprocal Tariffs" with the presidential seal visible in the top left corner. The chart compares alleged tariff rates between various countries and the United States. The table has three columns: "Country," "Tariffs Charged to the U.S." (according to the Trump admin, in light green/white), and "U.S. Implemented Reciprocal Tariffs" (in yellow).
The data shows:

Vietnam: 90% alleged tariffs on U.S. goods, with 46% reciprocal U.S. tariffs
Cambodia: 97% alleged tariffs on U.S. goods, with 49% reciprocal U.S. tariffs
Thailand: 72% alleged tariffs on U.S. goods, with 36% reciprocal U.S. tariffs
China: 67% alleged tariffs on U.S. goods, with 34% reciprocal U.S. tariffs
Indonesia: 64%alleged  tariffs on U.S. goods, with 32% reciprocal U.S. tariffs
Taiwan: 64% alleged tariffs on U.S. goods, with 32% reciprocal U.S. tariffs
Switzerland: 61% alleged tariffs on U.S. goods, with 31% reciprocal U.S. tariffs
India: 52% alleged tariffs on U.S. goods, with 26% reciprocal U.S. tariffs
South Korea: 50% alleged tariffs on U.S. goods, with 25% reciprocal U.S. tariffs
Malaysia: 47% alleged tariffs on U.S. goods, with 24% reciprocal U.S. tariffs
Japan: 46% alleged tariffs on U.S. goods, with 23% reciprocal U.S. tariffs
European Union: 39% alleged tariffs on U.S. goods, with 20% reciprocal U.S. tariffs
United Kingdom: 10% alleged tariffs on U.S. goods, with 10% reciprocal U.S. tariffs

The board appears to be partially obscured at the bottom, with a few additional rows visible but not fully readable. The image shows someone holding the display board, likely during a presentation or briefing
