"This isn't the first time Trump has proposed sprawling tariffs on imports, and it's something that economists everywhere think is an incredibly foolish plan. Such a steep tariff hike would lead to absurd price increases on good working families everywhere, especially on avocados, beer, and alcohol"all significant imports from Mexico.

Trump has heard this all before but shrugs it off because he believes that the tariffs will force companies to return to the U.S.

This is far from Trump's most ridiculous take on tariffs. Just weeks ago he stated to Bloomberg's John Micklethwait that he wanted "a 100, 200, 2,000 percent tariff" on imports. "The higher the tariff, the more likely it is that the company will come into the United States."

But Mexico is America's number one trading partner. And his latest proposal to increase tariffs whenever he feels like it reveals how little he understands about the impacts here."
