'Ferris Bueller' clip is viral in the middle of Trump's customsization war as a concise business lesson

A scene from John Hughes' classic comedy film from 1986 from 1986 Ferris Buellers Free Day becomes viral in the middle of Donald Trump's tariff war.

The scene shows a teacher of the high school economy, who speaks to his uninterested students about the Smoot Hewley Tariff Act, a real law signed by President Herbert Hoover in 1930, which increased the tariffs for imported goods. The law compared to Trump's recent acts is often attributed to the deterioration in the global economic crisis.
