The world reacts to Trump's sweeping tariffs: 'No basis in logic'

Seems to be what a lot of the far right want. It's essentially what Brexit has done to us in the UK

He's got that dementia infused vindictiveness against the people who want him dead

no tariffs on russia, only sanctions?
-
well, they can't even name a single country in ASEAN.

Why not both?

They’re AI generated tariffs. He asked Grok and these are the numbers it spat out.

I recently read an article that suggested the best retaliation would be to stop enforcing US intellectual property in the EU. One of the biggest exports they have is media, if we would stop enforcing their copyright it would cost them a lot of money.

You're absolutely right, I can easily hear that comment in his voice too

I think a lot of that kind of stuff is going to happen. I don't think other countries are insulted, as much as they find it ridiculous, and to be ridiculed, I think they're going to do some inventive chaos. I think we need to be building some world bingo cards, and I'll bet we won't guess all the (hopefully hilarious) petty revenges about to snowball.

No, they are backed by the economies of the issuing countries.
Gold standard is not viable in a modern economy.

the "logic" is pretty much as you described it. Only, after charging yourself with the extra tax on Walmart purchases, you obviously can't afford Walmart any longer, so you learn to make your own soap with ash and the fats of animals that you have started breeding in your own flat.

You don't even have to go that far. Just adopt sane copyright laws, like copyright only lasting the life of the artist.

No, I just saw another comment that found the "logic"(read whatever the inverse of that is). Apparently he thinks a trade deficit is a bad thing. So he is trying to "balance" them in the summer way possible, by enacting a traffic that inverses it. So Vietnam, we buy $9.7 mil of product from while selling ~$325.25 k to them. So he is enacting a 97% tariffs on imports from Vietnam.
