you CANNOT punish a country with tariffs. You punish the USA citizins with that. Idiot.
It punishes both. It harms both economies.
Dont forget about trust lost from other countries
Yes, and I’m sure you know this, but it generally hurts both countries equally or close to it, and therefore that is a dumb as fuck way to punish countries for not supporting your modern Monroe Doctrine
So about those Epstein files…
“If you don’t do what I want, I’ll destroy my own economy!”
Peak spoiled toddler behavior.
That’s our boy!
Do it, pussy. We’re not buying your shit anyway. The USA can go fuck itself.
I’m from the USA and we definitely need to go fuck ourselves with a dried pineapple
Wonder how big Trump’s pineapple will be?
Not big enough.
Hopefully about 2¼" in diameter by 3½" tall and made of cast iron.
probably a large DURIAN.

It’s the other way around, he is putting tariffs on American imports, so it will be harder for us to sell to USA.
I’m not interested in doing business with America until they can get their shit together.
Honestly, I’ve been in favor of a full embargo since this whole ‘trade-war’ bullshit kicked off. Strengthen trade with other nations while showing America they don’t control the global economy.
Fine, I personally have a near total boycott on American goods and services myself, doesn’t change the fact that tariffs are not about us buying stuff from USA.
So the good jam and flavored dates will be twice as expensive. Great …
This is also why all the fucking electronics companies in the EU only going through american distributers and having their own damn webshops from and EU company ship from the US is going to cripple one of or most important industries when shit hits the fan. Looking at you STM, Nordic, and uBlox!
We have 3 large distributers in Europe: UK, Poland, and international (UK and Belgium) and yet only a tiny tiny subset of older parts are sold from there while the american distributors are packed full.
Punish American citizens with tariffs - he means?
Oh yeah make your people pay for your stupidity
That is precisely what, “his people”, are for in his eyes. There is no one but him in his world.
I hope he does it. The people need to feel some pain to motivate us to put a stop to this madness, unfortunately.
Sadly MAGAs are living in a completely separate reality from the rest of the world. Unreachable with facts and figures.
It’s not MAGA who I’m hoping will act. A massive coalition of leftists, run of the mill liberals or even non-maga conservatives needs to form and remove Trump from power.
I’m thinking about what is going to happen to the nation if/when trump is ousted. Because you have something like 77 million people who are living in alternative fact land. And you will have to deal with them.
I don’t think that’s totally accurate. A lot of those are just not paying attention and annoyed with the economy, so they just punish whoever is in power. That said there are tens of millions who are really that deluded and hateful and I don’t know what to do with them. Let me them form their own little autonomous territories maybe, I’m not sure.
I think a straight up 2nd American Civil War is the only real way to fix America at this point. The establishment parties are too corrupt to save my people, and there are many terrible people who cannot be rehabilitated by anything less than a bullet.
Yeah whatever Shitler, you have a trade surplus with us you morons. Go to town carbuncle.
If one of you mention anything negative about us taking Greenland, I will tax my population more and severely disrupt their ability to purchase goods they need while you will be forced to find new partners. It will be very inconvenient for you. You will probably lose any trust you have in us and might not risk trading with us for a very long time.
Checkmate radical leftists. This is the art of the deal.
Oh… also. Please keep buying bonds and don’t you dare trade with China.
Bring it. He’ll tariff us anyways for being rude to his ambassador or some shit anyway.
Fuck Hoekstra and fuck Trump.
Then an hour later he will forget what he said in a meeting he slept through and change his mind.
TACO
Too bad that turtle fence couldn’t keep Hoekstra out.
He’s already threatening to escalate to a kinetic war and then returns to threaten a trade war which he already started.
Is that supposed to be the master negotiator?
The master masturbator negotiator.
It’s the same tactic children employ when they throw tantrums in a grocery store. They wager they can make a fuss big enough so that it’s just easier for parents to give them what they want and carry on with their day.
The Shart of the Steal
The idea of a kinetic war with Europeans is horribly unpopular in the US so this is him scrambling.
Repeal the DMCA clone laws in every country.
That’s what will actually hit the fuckers bankrolling this guy.
Yup. Do that and you can make an alternative App store for Iphones, give a 90% discount, eat Apples lunch, and still make 30 Billion.
I fought with your father in the clone wars
This motherfucker has lost his fucking mind. He is so desperate to distract from the Epstein files that he is trying to start WW3.
WW3 and a Greater Depression.
Make America Great Depression Again
- MAGDA
Trump is threatening tarrifs. Must be a day that ends with a Y.
One trick pony
His other trick is fucking little girls
Shortly, any country without Trump tariffs would be considered with suspicion.
