    50% is still too much. Where there’s no plan associated with the tariffs, these tariffs are taxation without representation. Shame on Republican Senators and Congressmen for their silence and not speaking out LOUDLY on this. These ridiculous taxes are as much their fault as the Donvict’s.

      Now that you mention it, this could be a translation error. Like the original word meant “divide” or “slash” and it was mistranslated as “halve”.
