64% Tariff Rate: The Shocking Truth Behind the Numbers

Statistics reveal a surprising method behind the calculation of recent tariffs. The administration’s approach to determining tariff rates involved a simple division of the U.S. trade deficit by a country’s exports to the U.S. For instance, with Indonesia, the U.S. has a $17.9 billion trade deficit. Indonesia’s exports to the U.S. total $28 billion. By dividing the trade deficit by the exports, the result is 64%. This figure was then claimed to be the tariff rate Indonesia charges the U.S. The administration confirmed this method, using a basic formula that essentially equates to a straightforward spreadsheet calculation. They admitted that more complex real estimates were deemed too difficult, opting instead for this simplified approach. This method was used globally to set tariff rates, showcasing a reliance on large numbers and a table labeled as reciprocal.

What makes the numbers fake: You know there’s a “trick” or a way to encite or appease the algorithm for reward i.e views engagement “reach” score. The numbers aren’t real. You know it, we know it, everyone knows it. Normies blind to it. We aren’t. The ratio bs is a farce.

The “real” number is 80%+. CBS is a lying, rusty, propaganda machine.

True. The biggest problem is how SKEWED the data is. The “average” is insanely high, (and also TRUE) but the average is not reflective of what you would realistically come across. The median is a far better number to use.
