  1. I’m sure these reciprocal tariffs won’t hurt the average American whatsoever!

  2. Can’t make European and Asian trade agreements fast enough… or for that matter any country not the USA .

  3. How many clowns can Trump fit in an overpriced and undersized clown car?

  4. Minimum 10% baseline tariff. Make America Have No One To Trade With. Done.

  5. You should see the ‘chart’ some countries are getting 49% tariffs. This man is insane…

  6. Have fun buying higher end electronics with 30%+ tariffs on Taiwan.

  7. Krasnov insults the trade deal he himself signed and pretends like he knows nothing about it. And the maga morons applaud.

  8. “We’re going to be a totally different country”.

    Yup, you sure are. Enjoy your depression!

  9. This is meant to stimulate manufacturing in the USA. No company in their right mind could consider a move to the USA for manufacturing given how fickle and random Trump can be

  10. At this point Nike might as well file Chapter 11.

  11. I thought 20% for EU was insane until I saw the chart.

    This is going to backfire in record time and he will suddenly start “making deals” with world leaders to fix it.

    I would not want to be a stock broker tomorrow morning.

  12. Somewhere out there, there’s a fact-checker in tears.

  13. People keep saying that Canada can’t win a trade war with the US. I’d argue there are no winners, but sure, one on one, we probably won’t win. And that’s fine, we’re willing to make sacrifices while we diversify trade.

    But he just declared economic war on the *entire world*. And you can bet your ass that the only loser in a global trade war is the US. It’s the US against the world, and he somehow thinks the US is gonna win. Good luck.

  14. Somebody please clarify for me: did Trump say he was putting on a **36%** tariff on imports from China..?

    Edit: Correct number is 34%.

  15. You never know if it’s a bluff or not, because it’s just so idiotic, but then you remember who’s in charge. The hamburglar himself. 

  16. Gotta punish Canada for all that fentanyl that’s not coming from Canada. I guess?

  17. Americans rejected him in 2020 and Trump cannot forgive them for that. So they must suffer.

  18. I feel bad for the autoworkers (union members) who attended today. Isn’t the next part of the plan to decertify those unions?

  19. How does this help any normal hard working American ? I’ll wait.

  20. Trump would definitely receive a Nobel peace price for uniting Asia and Europe soon

  21. TIL that “groceries” is an old fashioned term referring to a bag with things in it. Trump, you teach me so much…

    What a fucking moron

  22. Can’t believe some people voted for him. You guys shouldn’t be allowed to vote again.

  23. The Americans take those cheap crude oil imports from Canada and make billions in profits from it.

  24. The trade war has officially begun. No matter who much trump plays it down, he has started it

  25. So weird. The West isolates Russia as a punishment for its criminal acts. Trump isolates his own fucking country and encourages former allies to assist him in doing so by threatening them and erecting trade barriers.

    What a complete idiot!

  26. Fuck it, I’m just not gonna spend any money unless I really need to. Fuck the Trump economy.

  27. What that quote that’s like no invading army will see the Ohio River… America will die by suicide..

    Ah here it’s:
    Abraham Lincoln, is “All the armies of Europe and Asia . . . could not by force take a drink from the Ohio River or make a track on the Blue Ridge in the trial of a thousand years. No, if destruction be our lot we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of free men we will live forever or die by suicide.

  28. These morons couldn’t organise a Chook raffle.

    They just put 59% tariffs on the Australian island territory of Norfolk Island, which has a population of 2,188 while the rest of Australia, which has a massive trade deficit with the USA, 10% tariffs across the board.

    So though the US is making far more money through trade with Australia then Australia is, they still hit Australia.

    Wankers.

    Btw Norfolk Island won’t give a shit. They’d struggle to say what comes from the US to them. Netflix maybe?

  29. Here comes more farmer welfare. Dems should fight every single subsidy to offset tarrifs across the board. Make the country take it’s medicine

  30. When the man you elected to lower prices makes you pay a 10% tax on virtually everything and you cheer, you’re a lost cause.

  31. I honestly wondered if any country was economically strong enough to take on the US in a trade war. And now I don’t have to, because the US is in a trade war with THE ENTIRE WORLD!!

  32. This is a good time to remind everyone that in 1929, another Republican president did exactly this and turned a recession into a great depression.

  33. “Other countries treated us badly”.

    We have not. But we will now.
    S tier Self fulfilling prophecy

  34. My theory is he’s going to push his allies away with these tariffs, wait until shit hits the fan – blame the rest of the world for being “uncooperative” and then bam! Russia swoops on as the new trade partner to save the day and Trump turns around and says how amazing and friendly Russia is to have saved America.
