Trump's Global Tariffs Plan Faces Widespread Criticism for Flaws and Market Impact

John Oliver's satirical takedown highlights the plan's economic shortcomings, nonsensical methodology, and inclusion of irrelevant locations.

Donald Trump's global tariffs plan has been criticized for its flawed economic methodology, including a nonsensical calculation that misrepresents tariff data.
John Oliver mocked the plan on 'Last Week Tonight,' ridiculing its presentation, including a small chart allegedly used due to wind issues during its unveiling.
The tariffs plan inexplicably includes uninhabited locations like the Heard and McDonald Islands, drawing further scrutiny over its practicality.
Trump described the plan as heralding a 'golden age of America,' a claim that has been widely dismissed as overly optimistic and misleading.
The stock market reacted negatively to the announcement, with some companies, such as Restoration Hardware, experiencing notable stock price declines.
