Incredible. The Trump administration calculated "tariff rates" by taking the US trade deficit with the respective country and dividing it by the country's exports to the US. And then the tariff rate of the US is often just set by cutting that made-up "tariff rate" in half.

Pam Bondi, Trump's new pick for AG, has a very long history from when she was Florida's attorney general of helping Trump legally after he gave her contributions. And there's more you need to know. A brief thread.
