Last night's #DailyShow was just as cringe-worthy as #LateNight show because both Colbert and Stewart got the #TrumpTariff formula horribly wrong.

It does NOT say that tariff = trade deficit divided by imports. I repeat: IT DOES NOT SAY THAT TARIFF = TRADE DEFICIT DIVIDED BY IMPORTS!

That triangle they keep ignoring is significant, people. That means CHANGE in tariff. Now drill THAT into your skulls, @stephenathome and @JonStewart !!

Ursula VDL is ready to negotiate with the US.

She has offered zero-for-zero tariffs for industrial goods, because she's ready for a good deal.

But she's also prepared to respond with countermeasures and protect ourselves against indirect effects through trade diversion.

She will focus on the 83% of global trade beyond the US.

Europe stands together for our businesses and with our businesses for all Europeans in the EU and beyond.

Today's updated proverb is 'Sockpuppets of a pair are balled together'

As Trump is Putin's sockpuppet, Donald's 'advisers' are similarly woven:

As USD *six trillion* is wiped from Americans' 401Ks, and the bodies of four fallen US soldiers were honourably repatriated, #POTUS404 chose instead to play golf with Saudi paymasters.

Nero fiddling while Rome burns.
