Trump's Second Term

[The Great Zaganza]

And can anyone explain to me what exactly the Falkland Islands crime was to warrant a 41% tariff rate?

they know what they did

And can anyone explain to me what exactly the Falkland Islands crime was to warrant a 41% tariff rate? I mean I suppose there are at least people living there, unlike a number of other places he slapped them on. And of course so far the defence of the tariffs hasn't risen above praising him as the greatest economic mind of all time, please just ignore the bankruptcies and him having to settle out of court over Trump University.

Eh, that might make sense in a way. Milei is a major Trump bootlicker and anything that hurts the Falklands helps Argentina in it's eternal quest for control of those rocks/

Trump took one single question from a reporter outside the White House, then hopped in a helicopter to begin his trip to Florida for a golf tournament at his private club. I guess that's all we'll here from him today about wrecking the economy.

'I will reduce prices on day one!'
'Man, it's hard to reduce prices'
'It's Biden's fault!'
:crying and screaming: 'SHUT UP ABOUT THE EGGS!!'
'Let's play a game of make-believe! Okay, so we're going to pretend we're good citizens in a war and need to conserve resources...'

Those Greenlanders might not go down quietly.

So, it the president paying himself with tax payer money to win at his own golfclubs a form of waste DOGE should look into?

And Trump just purged some of his inner staff for being disloyal after a visit with Laura Loomer, a right wing nutjub who is so extreme she was kicked out of a CPAC meeting.
I am scared we have a madman in charge. If Laura Loony is now a major power, we arein deep crap.

And he's doing a fine job of it!

Blow? Hand? Rim?

I think the words "Off a cliff" are implied.

If anyone is going to exploit opportunities to step in and buy US assets on the cheap then it's going to be someone with lots of spare cash. Someone with lots of cash because they've been manufacturing for much the world for 20+ years. China.

I think they own most of it already.

You're only just suspecting that now?

Doesn't Donald know that Martinique and Guadeloupe are part of France?
He has only slapped a 10% tariff on them.
Billions of dollars of French trade with America will be funnelled through.
