What does the segment reveal about Trump's understanding and engagement with his own tariff policies?

The segment exposes Trump's apparent disengagement and lack of comprehension regarding his own steel tariff policies. Despite implementing a 25% ad valorem duty on steel imports in 2018, Trump appears bored and disinterested when these policies are explained to him by government officials. Jordan Klepper uses this moment to highlight the irony of a president being unfamiliar with the technical details of his own economic policies, particularly the meaning of "ad valorem" tariffs, which had significant implications for the U.S. steel industry and required numerous exceptions due to their damaging effects.
