No explanation from White House why tiny Aussie island's tariffs are nearly triple the rest of Australia's
-
He probably saw McDonald's island is where McDonald's is huge
-
Seriously?! Lol
-
The secret ingredient was hundreds of millions of dollars
-
He thinks the trade deficit is a debt between two countries not the difference in trade between them.
-
Trump's child-like mind can only understand win-lose trade agreements. He can't fathom a win-win, or a lose-lose.
-
An explanation implies some thought was put in to these tariffs, but instead it was just based on Trump's emotions that day.
-
Yet none to Russia, curious?

Money can turn anyone into what they rail against

Maybe I’m stupid but I can’t find an example of this.
I’ve seen him being critical. I’ve seen him asking the president to have empathy.
I seen one bit back when he was first elected where he said to give him a chance. At that point nobody really knew what he was going to do. We were all hoping he was just being a showman to get elected.
I’m not picking a fight, I’m just genuinely asking for some evidence that he supports Trump because I can’t find it.

This comment has even question that would provide such answers:
-
Trump’s mouth is Putin’s cock-holster. It’s not really all that curious.
-
My personal guess (just a guess, since none of this makes any logical sense) is that he's going to use the very high tariffs on those islands to help him with some creative accounting in showing overall wins when all of this is over. Increasing the pittance that these islands are likely paying us already, let's call it turning $100 into $150 - no meaningful benefit to the US, but looks amazing by the percentages.
"See, I tariff'd the whole world for a 5.5 gajillion percent increase in US revenue! I'm a big winner!"
-
I'd be willing to bed these percentages are based on the responses to WH communications (of threats), and those who did not respond at all have received the harshest penalty category.
Of course, an island with zero inhabitants is not likely to have responded.

It's obvious that he thinks the McDonald Island is where the fastfood chain gets their food. Since McDonald's is America's favorite and only source of food according to trump (probably) and since tariffs pay America, he's thinking he's going to make us rich. Everyone eats McDonald's which obviously comes from the McDonald Island. They pay the tariffs and Americans get rich. Art of the deal.

Make them broke and offer to buy the land from under them
