        He’s hitting countries like this the hardest too due to his ChatGPT-special formula for calculating tariffs. America has big trade deficits with poorer countries because they are too poor to buy much American stuff, and now he’s punishing them for it

          It’s really reprehensible. Having low wages makes these countries reliant on exporting. They are being exploited for the benefit of richer countries and what to they get as thanks? Tariffs.
