He seems to have this the wrong way around.

The world is the store, and he's just some person outside its front door, holding out his hand and asking US customers for 5 bucks for every item they want to go home with.

That’s actually a way more relevant take than my original comment. He’s still acting like tariffs are fees paid by foreign nations, when in fact, they’re paid by the consumers in the nation imposing the tariffs.

Sadly (for those of us stuck in the US), the only people who will be hurt by these tariffs are the people whose best interests he’s supposed to be responsible for.
