The Trump administration\u2019s recent announcement regarding the imposition of tariffs raises many questions. Targeting countries few people even know about, such as deserted islands populated by penguins, one can\u2019t help but wonder: are these decisions truly based on rigorous economic analysis or are they the result of a CatGPT-style calculation? The calculation methods, deemed overly simplistic by economists, seem strikingly similar to the answers provided by artificial intelligence. An explosive mix of absurdity and confusion that could well mask a much more complex reality. Since the Trump administration\u2019s rather unexpected announcement regarding the imposition of tariffs, the political world has been in turmoil. Scheduled for April 9, this tariff offensive affects a cohort of 60 countries and appears to be the result of an unconventional methodology, raising questions about its origins. The burning question is:<\/strong> Did Trump really seek advice from ChatGPT or other artificial intelligence to establish these tariffs?<\/strong> A controversial decision Trump\u2019s announcement on April 1 sent shockwaves. Indeed, while the president claims to want to punish countries exploiting the \u00ab\u00a0good American heart,\u00a0\u00bb he includes in his list uninhabited islands, devoid of any trade, and instead populated by penguins. Such a decision seems surreal and calls into question the underlying strategy.<\/strong>Confusing calculations<\/p>\n\n

The calculation method adopted to determine the tariffs is frightening, to say the least. Economist James Surowiecki did not hesitate to discredit these forms of calculation, calling them \u00ab\u00a0bogus.\u00a0\u00bb These figures are based exclusively on the United States\u2019 trade deficit with each country, without any consideration for services or actual customs barriers. The principle is simple: divide the trade deficit by a country\u2019s exports to the United States. Simple at first glance, but this simplistic approach is riddled with imperfections. In short, it may appear to be the result of algorithmic reasoning, potentially influenced by machine learning systems.<\/strong>A persistent rumor: Is AI behind tariff decisions? With the rise of artificial intelligence, many observers wonder whether these tariff decisions truly stem from human thinking or whether chatbots like ChatGPT have found their way into the corridors of the White House. Screenshots show striking similarities between the AI \u200b\u200bcalculations and those of the US administration.<\/strong> Ignored warnings<\/p>\n\n

It is interesting to note that, when asked about the imposition of tariffs, AIs such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, or Grok present warnings about the complexity of international trade. This further fuels speculation about their potential influence on economic decisions. Chatbots warn of the inevitable consequences of such measures: rising prices, trade tensions, a chain reaction that the administration seems to be ignoring.<\/h2>\n\n

A campaign promise under pressure Presenting himself as the defender of American workers, Trump claims that this strategy should relocate jobs, revive manufacturing, and guarantee \u00ab\u00a0better wages\u00a0\u00bb for Americans. However, the president\u2019s popularity is on a slippery slope, and his voters may not welcome a trade war that risks inflicting losses on the domestic economy.<\/strong>The president\u2019s promises seem to be crumbling in the face of reality. The prospect of rising prices on everyday consumer products and resistance from trading partners could well call into question the ideals displayed during his campaigns.<\/p>\n\n

A Summary of Collective Perplexity<\/h3>\n\n

In short, the Trump administration\u2019s tumultuous announcement of tariffs leaves room for doubt. The coincidence between AI calculations and official ones raises questions: is the influence of artificial intelligence behind these incomprehensible choices? This scenario, although extravagant, could culminate in an economic strategy that sweeps aside decades of solid international relations in favor of a frightening numbers game.
