Trump doesn't even know the tariff he wants to impose on 56% of the world(BRICS)

[pooya87]

After the recent progress and successes of BRICS and the recent (17th) annual BRICS summit, held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil the Emperor Wannabe Trump took to twitter with his usual silly rants. But it appears that he doesn't even know how much tariff he wants to impose on BRICS countries that are now 56% of the world population.

Previously he had threatened a 100% tariff on BRICS countries, now he is saying it will be an additional 10% tariff. So what is it? 10%? 100%? 110%? If it is the later then what is the difference between 100% tariff and 110% tariff? LOL
He seems to be trying to single-handedly both weaken USA economically and otherwise, while also isolating this colony more and more every day that passes...

In any case BRICS is speeding up and members are deepening their cooperation in various aspects, which is very palpable from the fear in Trump's tweets
As the declaration of the summit in Rio de Janeiro said: "Strengthening Global South Cooperation for More Inclusive and Sustainable Governance" That's what the New World Order is moving towards.

I noticed Trump is someone like this but if he tries to do like other countries can not do without United States, this can not be helpful for the United States at all. United States needs to play a good role to let other countries know that they are friendly but Trump is only doing the opposite.

I think BRICS is not even the problem but Trump is the problem but he has not more up to 4 years to be in power which might later correct things before it is too late.

Many of the countries that will later join BRICS and the ones there now are still having huge amount of dollars in their reserves. Also people from the countries prefer the United States dollars. If we are talking about stable coins, Tether CNHt which is pegged to yuan is nothing before United States backed stable coins. BRICS still have a long way to reach before challenging the dollar. But as more countries will be joining, it is another problem for BRICS if the country is friendly with United States.

Did he not say that when he implemented the 90 day break that he would take considerations from countries? The tariffs implemented on each country depends on how much that country has benefitted or has taken advantage USA as per Trump so some countries had considerably less tariffs than others and basically if you want to have less tariffs you just need to suck up and grovel at Trump's feet.

Who knows. It doesn't really matter what he trumpo says because it's just rambling about his "enemies" and lies. Yet people believe those numbers over and over again.

But honestly fighting BRICS seems like a dumb idea, because it's bunch of countries that don't trust each other either.

Somehow they believe in idea of a common enemy (rest of the world), that could unify them, even though they could just be part of it if they accepted regulations, transparency and auditability in the first place, you know, things that would be required for their own currency to work anyway.

I agree with everything here that you said, but do you think Trump "fears" anything? The problem I see with that assumption is that he would have to be able to understand what's going on in the first place. He is resistant to advice, meaning that even if his advisors tell him this is not good, he doesn't care. There were a few incidents now when he was informed that some of his own more important people said the opposite of what he is saying (like the Iran thing), and he simply says: "well, then they are wrong". Lol. Fear assumes understanding of the matter, I fear he doesn't understand.

[dezoel]

I am guessing (and I can only guess what this guy is talking about half of the time since he makes no sense) He is talking about anyone who wants to join, or wants to do business with them.

So you may not even be a BRICS country, just have a trade deal with them, and you still get 10% more, which is absolutely childish and unreal of course, that won't happen. But the reality is simple, dude is a child, with a brain that isn't developed, hence why he won the USA elections, because a lot of voters are similar to him.

I have seen people in the USA who failed to say 3 cities from Europe, the educational system failed them, they walk around without any proper knowledge, their top scientists are great of course, and people who go to Harvard and yale and other ivy league schools are great of course, there is no denying that, but 90% of the population says stuff like "capital of France is Italy", so obviously they got a president like trump because of it.

Already had a fallout with Elon base on this policies. Yes leadership is not for someone that is a coward or taking excuses from just everyone. But been too stubborn to aid to advices is way more too stupid. I have seen that Trump takes the stands of he can do anything without been questioned. As for your question about whether he cares about what people say I will say he doesn’t but there are serious decisions you will make and when the impact of such decision hits you, you will have no choice to reverse the decision.

Look at this current situation of the tariff increase on countries, we all can see that it wasn’t those countries feeling it alone but even the Americans got hit with it too and as such reason why he continues to extend the cooling period for the ban, extending it to further more countries will definitely be felt more.

Easy thing that he needs to know is he doesn’t govern everyone and that he can stand and fight alone, America economy is in no state to get into any war at the moment

[Helena Yu]

Other countries should able to give a fuck to Trump.

Trump is acting like a tantrum toddler who always reach whenever other people making move, more and more US will lost their power because China is leading in economy. Trump has nothing to fight against BRICS except throw a tantrum by threatening to increase tariffs on other countries.

Don't worry, he doesn't know the tariffs he wants to impose on the remaining 44% of the world either - he just makes it up on the spot like a complete idiot. Besides that, no matter how he tries to camouflage or deceive, these just end up as a tax on the American people. America has an amazing position as a business powerhouse right now, but it can quickly dwindle away under their type of president. The rest of the world are starting to build paths that completely circumvent America because it is proving to be such an erratic and unreliable partner right now. Businesses need to be able to plan years if not decades into the future, which requires knowing the profit margins involved in any particular project - which is impossible right now. He is undermining the hard and soft power of the USA in every area.

You are probably right, he is too dumb to feel anything. His understanding of the world is at the level of some dumb holywood movie like Top Gun LOL. But there is still a system in place that makes the decisions and all these tariff wars, other armed conflicts, the isolation of USA, etc. is their doing. And when we look at the overall policies of USA we can see that they haven't really changed with the presidents! For example Biden ran with same tariff war and armed conflicts strategy. The only difference was that he didn't tweet about it 20 times a day

Haha. When a large number of Americans believe chocolate milk comes from brown cows, you know the educational system has failed beyond hope...

That's what happen when they start believing the internet does not lie.

Trump is isolating US on purpose.  Announcing something like this will only scare the countries on their side who is heavily dependent on products coming from China. Even US itself needs the products from China.

But whatever, he is deteriorating more and more after Elon left him and now his mind scatters around, where are his advisors when he needed them the most.

Trump cannot stop the countries from entering into BRICS so he is threatening them that he will put tariffs on them and hope that they will negotiate with the USA on this and the USA will demand their terms and conditions. This may work out for some countries in the short term but this is not deals are done. You cannot force the country to obey your conditions on a gunpoint. Trump has been using these tariffs as a means to get the nations to deal in the interest of the United States.

I do not know whether such statements will have any impact on the BRICS but they do dump the stock and crypto market temporarily and when the market realizes that the impact of these statements aren't much, the markets tend to recover.

Well yes, but I hope that people don't watch top gun for the sake of political education lol Then again, who the fuck knows what people believe and what they don't believe or believe to understand....

The tweets are amazing, now that we can't stop that shit anyway, it's as entertaining as shocking what's going on on Twitter these days! I neither like Trump nor do I like Musk, but as long as they fight like this, we got the choice: Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney or Twitter! And twitter is for free

Of course it goes without saying that Mr. Trump is deliberately isolating the United States as a news report suggests that he is trying to incite several countries against China, that is they are trying to stop any trade against them. I saw a news report that said that Trump wants the world to squeeze out China, meaning that other countries should have no trade relations with China. It is quite natural that the United States imposed high tariffs against China, which has led to the Asian country now using other countries.

One of which is Vietnam but the United States has currently concluded a preliminary trade agreement with this country, which is why they want Vietnam not to make any agreements with China. Well, what could be your explanation for his imposition of tariffs against Japan and South Korea?

[DeathAngel]

I saw he was throwing random numbers around at different countries last night. He said 30% on Bosnia, 32% on Indonesia, 35% on Bangladesh, 25% on Tunisia, 30% on South Africa, 40% on Laos. It seems like a bit of a disaster, does he know what he’s doing? Most of those countries probably don’t do much trade with the US any way so they’ll probably just ignore his petulant statements as it won’t affect them. Trump also delayed tariffs until August 1st. It just seems a bit unprofessional.

[Darker45]

As often the case, Trump doesn't know what he's doing and saying. In all fairness, I think he's not poorly advised. It's just that his lack of forethought gets the better of him most of the time. The man is impulsive. His mouth moves faster than his brain. He releases big words, takes them back the next minute, says another, takes it back again, and so on. His pronouncements don't have to be taken seriously despite them having significant impact on his country's economy and image.

On the other hand, "cooperation", "inclusive", "sustainable" are terms overused by the powers that be as baits. They are meaningless when used by Trump as when used by Xi or Putin.

[Die_empty]

Trump assumes that he can bully and threaten the world at will. I like the response of the President of Brazil Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.

"We don't want an emperor, we are sovereign countries," Lula said during his closing remarks on Monday, adding: "It's not right for a president of a country the size of the United States to threaten the world online."

Global leaders already know that Trump talks more than he can achieve. His advisers know that the American economy will be devastated by a 10% tariff on a group that has 56% of the world population. Maybe that was why they changed the narrative that BRICS tariff to be applied only if they adopt policies deemed 'anti-American. The US is simply threatened by the growing cooperation and influence of BRICS.

My greatest joy is that, the world and most people are now enlightened, and can easily tell the difference between a person that spreads propaganda, and a person that is fighting for something meaningful, _{though I'm not referring to this case}. I think Trump is overreacting, and his actions most times do not even make any sense. Those tariff values for the countries you mentioned are literally too massive, and it truly defines an emperor. The US is making BRICS get stronger by the day, so those tariff threats won't help matters.

[Coyster]

The president of my country was at the 17th BRICS summit in Brazil, my country became the 9th partner country of BRICS earlier this year (January), so i guess we are one the countries that would be charged an additional 10% tariff, so maybe a total of 110%, lol. Trump is a big bully, he might think that he is strengthening the American cause globally, but his antics would only push further nations to move towards the Anti-American policies as he calls it and thereby weakening their position.

There is something that you are not getting right about this, Trump is using trade deficit to make the estimation. If the United States is importing from your country that they are importing from you, so the tariff will increase. But I am surprised with how he did some countries tariff calculatin but I did not listed below.

Take a look at these which are some of the countries you listed above. Take note of the trade deficit

In 2024, the total value of U.S. goods trade with Tunisia was approximately $1.6 billion. U.S. exports to Tunisia were around $503.6 million, while imports from Tunisia totaled $1.1 billion. This resulted in a U.S. trade deficit with Tunisia of $619.6 million.

In 2024, the U.S. goods trade deficit with Laos was $762.9 million, driven by a significant increase in imports from Laos. In 2024, U.S. goods exports to Laos were $40.4 million, while imports from Laos totaled $803.3 million

In April 2025, Bangladesh's exports to the United States were $886 million, while imports were $260 million, resulting in a trade surplus of $626 million for Bangladesh

In 2024, the US goods trade with Indonesia totaled an estimated $38.3 billion, with US exports to Indonesia at $10.2 billion and imports from Indonesia at $28.1 billion, resulting in a US trade deficit of $17.9 billion.

In 2024, total U.S. goods trade with South Africa was $20.5 billion. U.S. goods exports to South Africa were $5.8 billion, while imports from South Africa were $14.7 billion.

They are exporting to United States than importing.

If you check China, you will see the opposite. Many if the countries are borrowing loan from China, I hope a time will not come when China will gradually be taking over some things in the countries that will not be able to pay the loan just as usual. What Trump is afraid of should be more about China to dominate.
