Will tariffs make America great?

[8enotto]

Gump declares steel tariffs, México responds by courting Europe where they have already flipped Trump the bird. Don't want to play stupid games with him.
Several countries are talking now. Germany and Spain among them.

Gump then demands Mexico needs to sit and discuss this with him for some reason.
Like explaining to him why you chose to skip dinner. After he ◊◊◊◊ in the soup.

When Mexico tires of all of his high level BS and just shuts down on agricultural products and car related business he may understand. Or not.

That's why he wants Greenland. He thinks it has green bananas.

Or he wants to use it as a stepping stone to Iceland

Happy to see Musk gone?

Modern medicine tends to discount the truth of "death by apoplexy" but I am an optimist, and choose to embrace the beautiful, beautiful possibilities.

Up one day and everything is OK huh? I give MAGA some credit. They just don't care about Trump's stupidity. They don't care about how Trump is ruining their lives. As long as he gets to implement those racist and homophobic actions.

 

[Gulliver Foyle]

there is an easy solution for that: invade and annex banana producing countries.

Has been tried.

They are demonstrably smarter than Trump and Nutlick.

Trump is working hard to solve the national golf shortage.
Musk is recovering his powers, lying in a coffin containing simulated Martian regolith.

Trump is working hard to solve the national golf shortage.

He had such a fantastic success with the American gulf so we now have high hopes for American golf! Except for the workers on his golf courses who will probably still be Mexican.

Who will still be invisible to Trump.

DEAN: What's the tariff on bananas?

LUTNICK: Generally 10%

DEAN: Walmart has already increased the cost of bananas by 8%

LUTNICK: If you build in America, there is no tariff

DEAN: We cannot build bananas in America

You can grow them in the USA, though.

You can grow them in the USA, though.

Yes, but not in quantities needed to meet the demand. It would take years to ramp up production in Hawaii as one example. Then there's the logistics and costs . . . they wouldn't be cheap bananas, that's certain. There's a reason they call them Banana Republics.
