Add insults to injuries -- some of the dumbest details about Trump's ruinous tariffs

[Jingthing]

Here goes:

 

-- There are uninhabited islands on the 10 percent tariffs list

-- Ukraine gets 10 percent. Having their civilians murdered daily by Trump's buddy Putin isn't enough punishment?

-- Russia mysteriously missing. No tariffs for Putin, The one and only big country missing,

-- Colombia hit hard. Americans love and need their coffee fix to help productivity. There is almost no coffee grown in the USA.

Who owns those uninhabited island?... the country that's getting the 10% tariffs no?

Ukriane.... Do you think the financial loans from the EU countries don't have to be paid?

Russia... well according to the MSM readers here.... their economy is doomed and failing, they have noting to put tariffs on.

OMG, so coffee has gone up, pretty sure Starbucks are over charging even without tariffs.

Geography is not a strong point with Americans.

More than half think Thais are from Taiwan.

There is that Golden Showers with the Russian hookers tape. Melania has barely forgiven him for the Stormy Daniel’s thing and the other rapes.

Best not to poke the Russian bear.

Americans have very successfully marketed crap food around the world, McDonald’s, KFC, 7-11, donuts and other stuff. Hopefully these tariffs will wake people up a bit.

 

It all used to be cheap food but the prices have crept up all for this junk. 

I will make a conscience effort to avoid all American products from now on forever.

 

Most of what comes out of the USA is crap, crap cars etc.

 

Easily live without all the crap.

Heard and McDonald Islands: 10% (charges U.S. 10%)

Wouldn't want some large country using one of their teeny, tiny territories to avoid tariffs.

The territory gets the same 10% tariff as Australia.

Operates under the laws of Australia.

WHite house calculated the non-tariff trade barriers into the magic 8-ball, and it said 10% for Australia, so of course the territories and dependencies will get the same rate.

That's the same tariff applied to Cocos Islands, pop 600.

I can’t stand Americans not that I consider them one race.

 

 I don’t like any of them no matter what race they are. That they just democratically elected Trump a second time reinforces my dislike of them.

 

Sorry if that answer isn’t woke, I am just being honest.

To be perfectly, bigly honest, I think Trump is making a major mistake here.

 

I think it's yuuugely insane, and will implode like a bankrupt casino.

 

But I also think you'd get more traction if you post real information instead of skewed MSM talking points.

 

Trump didn't increase tariffs on Russia!  Oh, no!  Probably because he's a puppet of Putin, nothing to do with already massively applied sanctions and tariffs, right?

I'm American and love clowns 🙂 Don't take it too seriously or you may end up like Jing and think life revolves around "one" American. Keep on hating if that is what works for you and it might be the correct path 🙂 Cheers

Those mythical tapes that live In the heads of the libtard left, not in reality.

Other rapes?... there hasn't even been 1.

When did you speak to Melania... what else did you find out?

Norfolk Island is a dependent territory of Australia. It has been hit with 29% tarriff. It does not even have a port and access is virtually by air only. It's population of 2000 people  are shocked at the impact on their enormous export market.

Some people swallowed the anti Trump hoaxes so completely they are now hardwired into the victims dna. The peepee dossier was concocted and paid for by the democrats to smear a candidate they knew would wipe the floor with them in a free and fair election. Jeez

According to U.S. government data, the U.S. has recorded trade deficits with Norfolk Island for the past three years. The island exported $300,000 worth of goods to the U.S. in 2022, $700,000 in 2023 and $200,000 in 2024. Its imports from the U.S. stayed at $100,000 in those years.

And what about those uninhabited islands?

 

According to World Bank export data, the U.S. imported $1.4 million (A$2.23 million) worth of goods from Heard Island and McDonald Islands in 2022, with the vast majority classified as "machinery and electrical" products. The specific nature of these imports remains unclear.

Trade imbalances have nothing to do with tariffs. Trump is lying about tariff reciprocity. Belarus and North Korea also excused.

The White House on Thursday defended its decision to not include Russia, North Korea, Cuba or Belarus in the latest round of tariffs, which targeted dozens of global trading partners that were labeled the “worst offenders” when it came to trade barriers.

A White House official told The Hill in a statement that the four nations “are not subject to the Reciprocal Tariff Executive Order because they are already facing extremely high tariffs, and our previously imposed sanctions preclude any meaningful trade with these countries.”

Trump's speech was full of lies. As usual.

Trump trying to rewrite history.

Much like Putin and other historical autocrats.
