I am Greatly Honoured by Your mention of My Country, and its national Dish, the delicious Köttbullar, but Your Deficiency of understanding when it comes to Scandinavian Countries and Your Huuuuuge Mistake in mentioning LEGO, which as Everyone knows is Danish, now means that we will have to Declare War on You, and all who Sail in You. Surrender Your Arms, and Legs, and any other Perverse Tendril, in Two Weeks, or Ninety Days (or some other Unspecified Time period, which We may decide Upon as We please), or suffer Consequences of a Magnitude never seen before in History.
Yours very Sincerely,
The Honourable Helen, but You can call me Sir Mr President (missy).

That explains what is happening. Hopefully the Doctor will be along to sort things out.

This is where Trump’s insanity or dementia comes to the fore. He is wrong to impose tariffs full stop because of the negative impact this will have on the US. To impose higher tariffs because of legal action by another country is unbelievably stupid.

When am I going to wake up from this nightmare?

Trump suggested that WalMart should eat the tariffs, apparently unaware that if they do that, consumers don't get the signal to buy American.

Companies paying taxes to support the community is BAD
Companies paying taxes to support Trumps political points is GOOD
 
Some people enjoy the barefoot lifestyle, like it's an actual thing.

But in this case she's just lifting half a foot off a flip-flop.

Apparently the USA is experiencing a slump in International visitors/tourists due to Trump tariffs, among other things.
(Fear of random arrest, search, deportation etc. is apparently up there too.)

Trump Policies Will Cost The U.S. Up To $29 Billion In Tourism

Halfway through 2025, the U.S. stands out as the world’s biggest loser in an otherwise thriving global tourism economy.

YouTube has people posting clips from empty airports, and deserted Disneylands.

One YouTube clip that really surprised me, was an American arriving back in America, filming the arrivals/immigration area:

"I've never seen this before, only the 'returning American' side has people in it, there isn't even a single person in the tourism lanes."

So much winning, the winningest winning that has ever winned.

Trump doesn't give a crap about others.
 
Tourism tariffs could be fun. I have no idea how they would work, but I'm sure the geniuses in Washington can figure something out. Maybe they can put tariffs on outgoing flights.
