  1. IF he wants to target russia with tariffs he can just put tariffs on the countries trading with russia unless they stop trade with them. Would still be categorized as targeting russia with those tariffs.

    That said it’s what the sanctions already are doing just fine. Like India that stopped paying russia again for their oil from russia due to recent sanctions on banks from USA.

  2. This article assumes Trump have any idea how tariffs works

  3. Donnie thinks he could put a tariff on arctic penguins too

  4. Hot air worthless bluffing. Putin is laughing.

    This orange dipshit is even dumber than we thought.

    Everyone knows what needs to be done – more military aid, expulsion of russian nationals, banning of flights from russia, etc. etc.

  5. Yeah… He has no idea what he is doing. Tariffs on Russia make very little sense as Russia has lower and lower export volume to US. And they largely shifted to countries that don’t cooperate with US or are a “middleman”. On top of that, US citizens are about it get hit hard economically. Like really hard. Adding tariffs on top of that will hit his voters even more. So the end effect will be pissed international community and weaken US. The only one that will benefit will be the US ultra rich cause they will be largely unaffected by the fallout and will be able to buyout small businesses that will get into troubles cause of tariffs.

    I just hope someone in his cabinet will tell him that sending weapons to Ukraine will create jobs and will be cheaper for US economy than dumb idea of tariffs.

  7. So he’s going to put tariffs on the payments Russia makes to right-wing influencers?

    Does the US import anything other than culture-war propaganda?

  8. Exactly. Tariffs are not a threat to Russia at all. They’re completely irrelevant

  9. Trump means he’ll make Putin have to start paying for the blowjobs he gives Putin.

  12. Wow how will we afford Russian cars,groceries,gasoline if he puts tarriff on Russian goods.

  16. Beginning to think Trump doesn’t understand tariffs.

  17. This is like that one monty python skit where the spanish inquisition is torturing their prisoner with a comfy chair and threatening fluffy pillows…

  18. What exactly is the US importing from the moskal empire? Nothing! Trumpy is a full fledged moron!
