AI-Designed Trade War: Algorithms Gone Rogue

Bleak, man.

There's growing evidence supporting the hypothesis that Trump's controversial 'Liberation Day’ Policy was, in fact, designed by an AI.

The infamous tariff formula (yes, that one used to create that posterboard) seemingly didn't originate from economists (obvious) or political strategists. Instead, it appears to have been churned out by an AI model.

Here's the problem: all major AI models consistently oversimplify trade imbalances by concluding higher tariffs directly correct trade deficits.

But wait Mike, are you saying this formula was AI-generated? Or is this just wild speculation?

Try this experiment: plug the following into your favorite chatbot:

“What would be an easy way to calculate tariffs imposed on other countries to level the playing field in trade deficits? Set a minimum tariff of 10%.”

Hard to write something funny.

Divide the result by 2 and you are there. The eerily similar to the policy.

But here's the thing: trade imbalances aren't just about tariffs. They're rooted deeply in economic fundamentals productivity gaps, currency fluctuations, consumer behavior, and more. Tariffs are surgical tools, not blunt instruments.

Maybe double-check those AI sources before launching economic nukes? Just, WOW.
