Donald Trump has a long history of peddling information his administration affectionately refers to as “alternative facts,” more commonly known as “lies.” In virtually every instance, these lies are 1) designed to make him sound better by burnishing his fragile ego, and 2) extremely easy to debunk, to the extent that some require only a working set of eyes. So far, the president’s greatest whoppers include the one about the size of the crowd at his inauguration (largest audience ever!), and that he would have won the popular vote if “millions of people” hadn’t cast illegal ballots. More recently, he’s insisted that 3,000 people did not actually die as a result of last year’s hurricane in Puerto Rico, and that the figure was made up by Democrats in order to make him “look as bad as possible,” a completely insane claim that he has naturally doubled down on several times.

On Monday, Trump continued in the same tradition, yelling on Twitter about how great tariffs are and declaring, against all evidence to the contrary, that no one’s been hurt by his trade “policies.”

The problem with these tweets, aside from turning the word “tariff” into a verb, is that they, like their author, are full of shit. First off, as The New York Times notes, metals-manufacturing jobs have increased by fewer than 1,000 since the president announced the steel and aluminum tariffs that caused the one sane person in the administration to quit. The other, more insidious “alternative fact” is the suggestion that virtually no one has felt the effects of the cost increases. That claim is likely news to the companies that have been forced to lay off employees and could go out of business, unable to either absorb the higher metal costs or shift production overseas (those opting for the latter have enjoyed escalating threats by POTUS to run them into the ground). It might also surprise, say, the farm workers who received a $12 billion bailout from the federal government to make up for the harsh impact of retaliatory tariffs on soybeans.

While only certain consumer products have jumped in price—washing machines jumped 20 percent after Trump slapped tariffs on imported washers—economists predict that the effects on consumer prices across the board could be “noticeably larger” if he follows through with another $200 billion of tariffs on Chinese goods. (He also threatened earlier this month to tax almost all Chinese imports, which would certainly be fun for his constituents.) And while President Art of the Deal is under the impression that Beijing is this close to caving and giving him exactly what he wants, reality suggests otherwise:
