Trump challenged by arithmetic…

With his big mouth, Donald Trump has built an image of someone who knows what he’s talking about while in fact he knows absolutely nothing about Economics 101. 

Take his recent spat with Walmart. With arbitrary extra tariffs imposed on importers, the giant retailer will have to pay its suppliers more for the products it sells, so it likely will need to increase prices to maintain its profit margins and keep its stock value where it needs to be (something smart Trump would want to stay high). 

If one could assume that all industrial products will have to be built in America, it’s going to be harder to grow all the bananas and avocados we eat inside our country. 

I’m a convinced globalist and Trump’s idea of transferring all manufacturing in his country is a pipe dream, considering that our economy creates three-third of its GDP through consumption. 

I predict that his idea of tariffs will be the rope Trump and his sycophants are in the process of hanging themselves with, as he stubbornly hangs on to his “magic” economic concept of import duties. If you’re MAGA, give your fearless leader a calculator and tech him how to use it!
