The world reacts to Trump's sweeping tariffs: 'No basis in logic'
-
Shortly after Trump’s announcement, the British government said the United States remains the U.K.’s “closest ally.”
I'm sorry TERF island, that's not gonna keep Trump from stabbing you in the back too.
-
also a 10% tariff on the joint US military base at Diego Garcia …

Those penguins are trying to rip off America! It's about time they pay their fair share
-
No basis in logic is a nice summary of the Trump administration in general.
-
ok, then...
i have a huge trade deficit with walmart.
i buy way more from them than they do from me ($1200-1500 a year vs $0); just like the u.s. buys more from many countries than those countries buy from the u.s.
like the leaky diaper's new
tariffsimport tax, i should charge myself a ridiculously high extra tax on purchases from walmart until they buy $1200-1500 a year of some mythical product from me to even out the 'unfair' imbalance?yea. that'll work.

penguins like cheetos. i remember that uh.. 'documentary'. we should send 'em a big giant fat one. no charge. just to say 'sorry' for imposing the unfair tariffs on their trade.

Lmao wat.
I’d ask if you’re serious, but I’m also sure you are.
Honestly, I was expecting this administration to be mind-numbingly stupid, but somehow they keep finding ways to surpass my expectations on that front on a daily basis. I’d be impressed if it wasn’t so catastrophic.

Thank you! Neither the BBC nor the Flemish public tv seem to say this yet (they just repeat the statement Trump gave)
-
I hope the EU reacts with something non-tariffy. Like forbidding US online platforms to serve ads and collect personal data, with severe punishments if they still do.
-
Of course there is logic, but not the logic most politicians want to admit. This is simply:
"Nice global economy. It would be a shame if something happened to it. Maybe we can come to an understanding, and this whole tariff thing goes away. You do want free trade, don't you?"

from Mastodon: “tariffs by ChatGPT”
-
I’ve never once heard a penguin say thank you.
-
What about Israel? Aren't they sucking you dry? Perhaps add some tariffs there?
-
But arent all fiat currencies made up since there's no gold standard backing them.
