Summary

Critics accused Trump and his administration of using ChatGPT to create its new tariff formula, which mirrors AI-generated outputs.

Commentators highlighted that the tariffs appear based on a simplistic calculation: divide the U.S. trade deficit with a country by total imports, or default to 10%.

Analysts slammed the approach as flawed and dangerous.

Markets reacted sharply, with the S&P 500 falling over 4% and Nasdaq dropping more than 5%.

    Normal Thursday in America.

      How people can liaten to him talk and think he’s smart is beyond me. In any other country, he would live under a bridge and yell at pigeons.

        They don’t, they just care about hurting others. He doesn’t have to talk at all and just hint that he will “make the other people miserable”.
