In other words, Brandon has no fucking idea what "tariff" means, except it must be good cuz Daddy says so.

To be fair, Trump doesn't even know how tariffs work properly.

Someone on reddit (from where I stole this pic) said 'Trump thinks tariffs are like tributes' and I think that's a perfect analysis of Trump's mentality.

Tributes are still a thing. See Australia "buying" $300bn submarines from the US.

So I can somewhat understand why Trump thought this is what tariffs are haha
