  2. yeah… a whole bunch of grave errors. It’s like that spongebob meme with all the garbage except instead of piles of garbage it’s piles of grave errors 

    and this is only the beginning so good luck earth

  3. Double down on their tariffs for calling out the error. It is almost as if making policy by only looking at two factors at a time creates ridiculous outcomes.

  4. Just wait until they see how much Russia got 🤭

  5. It was *likely* AI, not Trump. Trump has no idea who is on that list or how high the tariffs for each country are. All he *probably* did was sign off on the AI’s work. He never has any clue what’s going on.

    He put tariffs on an island made up of mostly penguins.

    Edit: Added words to reflect that it is not indefinite that AI was used, but I’m pretty confident that it was.

  8. Trump slaps 17% tariffs on Israel while the US is literally funding their war.. talk about taxing both sides of the conflict.

  9. This is like when AI first came on the scene and at the end of some articles you’d see the gotcha “surprise – this was written by an AI!” except they’re doing it with a country

  13. “These tariffs are the best tariffs — nobody’s ever seen tariffs like this before. For too long, America was getting ripped off by weak leaders and bad deals. But not anymore! On April 2nd — *Liberation Day* — we finally stood up and said: enough! We’re bringing back jobs, bringing back manufacturing, and making American steel and aluminum great again. Other countries will complain, but guess what? They need us more than we need them. It’s simple: if you want to sell in our market, play fair — or pay the price. Very simple. Very smart. It’s what I do.”

  14. Maybe now we Israelis will wake tf up and stop treating him as the god damn messiah. It’s so infuriating to live in Israel as an American and watch this guy be venerated.

  16. Trump will throw anyone and everyone under the bus eventually.

  17. Our government dropped the tax on all US imports to 0% in anticipation and got this in exchange. Many Pikachu “BuT TRUmP iS ouR FRieND” faces around the cabinet table. 

  20. This isn’t a surprise when you look at how they arrived at the numbers they’ve used lol.

  21. He doesn’t understand tariffs, or rocks, or basic math. Or how to tell the truth. None of this is a surprise to anyone because he wakes up and is surprised by what he himself does every day.

  23. No, you made the error, Israel. You believed a notorious liar. After he shook hand with you, you forgot to count your fingers. Your fault. Not sorry.

  25. AI is antisemitic, hates penguins and likes Russians … i am not sure i like our soon to be new overlords!

  27. What do people like trump care more about. Mo ey and wealth. Now have a think why he would make such action that would make it tank.

    I’m sure he and his cronies will make huge sums of money out of this. Expect a possible reversal or slight drawn back which will make markets rise.

    They are playing everyone like fools and will get away with it.

  30. Dear Israel, you are dealing with an irrational idiot, don’t expect common sense. I suggest you ally yourself with Russia or China, you’ll be getting a better deal.

  31. No he didn’t! Israel got TRUMPED! Too bad their president fully supported Trump and did everything he could to help Trump win.

  32. Another ally down, how many more before Trump completely isolates the US, before it can even attempt to bring manufacturing and jobs home??? It’ll be sunk before it can build the dry dock, let alone rebuild the engines!

  33. “But the spreadsheet calculated these numbers… Also, Brawndo is what plants crave.”

  34. President Bumble will just keep bouncing off of walls until he falls down the elevator shaft.

  35. Honestly this tariff board was giving Eurovision jury votes vibes to me. Extremely confusing.

  36. People have been wanting America to punish Isreal, and I never thought they’d do it by accident…

  38. The penguins-bad postured people, they hate heat. Have you met anyone that can stand in sub-zero temperatures for over two hours? It may have been even longer, they just stand there, don’t seem to have anything better to do. Socially stunted, very, very strange. Don’t even get me started on their manners. I’ve always been told, “Donald you’re so polite, so generous, so intelligent, why would anyone not use manners, you make it look so easy.” I don’t understand their goals, have you ever looked at the progress of their country over the last millennia? Antarctica should be the 52nd state of our beautiful country; now that’s a goal. You can’t rationalize with these people, what can you do, these penguins, these pitiful penguin people, did you know that nobody even knows their language? That’s how primitive they are, they haven’t even got an email, let alone a mail system. Incredibly stubborn, very sad, terribly sad, and we’re going to help them.

  39. They should protest by not accepting more free bombs

  40. Add them to the pile of people who thought that sucking the mushroom would buy them good will.

  42. Errors* plural.

    The US alienated the world. Good luck alone.

  43. What’s that, you say? Leopards ate your face?

    Why, I would never have seen *that* coming…

  44. Lol, he tariffed the McDonald Islands. Only penguins live there. Cognitive dissonance coming in…

  46. Tariffs only really work in very specific types of situations. In most cases they’ll bankrupt the country. As sadistic as this may sound I think trump might be thinking to himself; “I’m gonna die soon so I don’t care what actually happens to this country long term, let’s try some shit out. Hey chat gpt, how do I execute this tariff thing?”
