@GaryMarcus Trump isn't smart enough to understand what tariffs are on even a basic level and to compare his thoughts on them to what most economists think about them, takes sycophancy to a whole new level. The Fourth Estate is truly dead.

The tone is somewhat forgiving towards the journalist, acknowledging the haste in writing, while also noting the oddity of the comparison made.
