Maybe there are ways that tariffs could benefit the economy but if there are, Trump doesn’t know about them. Look no further than the now infamous formula used to calculate “trade inequity.” It’s utter nonsense.

LYRICS
by Don Caron
He says it’s medicine for our economic flu (uh huh)
We just need to wait and let it work its way through (oh yeah)
We’re not supposed to worry as we watch the market tumble (no-ooo)
He’s pretty clear he doesn’t want to listen to us grumble (and we will grumble)
He claims to know exactly what he’s doin’ (diddle-doodle)
His loyal fans don’t know it’s them he’s screwin’
The penguins should have been a major clue-in (diddle doodle)
Blind faith won’t work with all the stuff that’s brewin’ (whoo-hoo)
It’s clear he doesn’t know how tariffs function (no-oh)
The future will deliver the compunction (oh yeah)
Too bad we’ll all be hit by his dysfunction (uh-huh)
The Supreme Court needs to issue an injunction
Oh the tariff tango has such an awkward spin (diddle-doodle)
We just keep losing but he says it’s a win
Jobs will disappear with breadlines soon to come (diddle-doodle)
Whoever did the math on this is surely playing dumb. (playin’ dumb)
The PR machine says it’s just another phase (uh-huh)
But your paycheck’s shrinking in a thousand ways (Yeah it is)
Who needs logic when there’s no one who’ll receive it? (nope)
You could tell the truth, but his fans won’t believe it (They’ll never believe it)
Oh the tariff tango it’s a cha-cha cheat (diddle-doodle)
As thousands of protests hit the street (diddle-doodle)
Empty pockets hum a sorrowful tune
Don’t worry, he says we’ll feel better soon
