At 4 PM on April 2nd Trump announced his complete shakeup of world trade with percentages against various nations, difficult to determine as to their origin, except for clearly the higher ones against for example China, but not clear about how other tariffs were determined.

Expert opinion has been extensively various so that anyone without substantial background is having difficulty determining what the outcome will be.
At this site, we have tried to be careful with our facts based on the kinds of expert opinion which is widely available.
However, our analysis of Trump to date has been substantially, supported as being highly unfavorable for the United States.
We have been utterly amazed at the inability of a substantial number of American citizens to determine the horrendous effect that his policy so far have wrought on our freedoms and our well-being.
In the weeks ahead, we will attempt to better decipher the effects of this latest step to consolidate power way beyond his rights.
