Apparently it was an arbitrary extra 50% on top of the recent 54%, which was the supposed trade deficit plus existing tariffs. I'm not saying it's not batshit, but the new figure wasn't a totally random specific number.
So isn't only somewhere around 72 percent from original?
Now you're asking them to do correct calculations?
