  1. Yeah, I always thought the “it’d be redundant to tariff russia due to sanctions” defense was bogus.

    “Just do it then, to make the point” is the obvious response, but they wouldn’t.

    So first redundant, now to negotiate? I’ll just roll my eyes and wait for *third answer.*

  5. First excuse was more plausibly believable to the common idiot. Multiple excuses on the other hand……

  7. Bullshit. Russia had already violated the ceasefire before the tariff announcement.

  9. Lmao there isn’t even a ceasefire in place and not a single person will question him if Ukraine’s 30 day full ceasefire shows that they are indeed committed to peace and Russia isn’t. Are they ever gonna lose patience with Russia???

  13. Bullshit!

    First they Said it was because of sanctions, yet they still put Iran on that List.

    Now they claim it’s because of negotiations, yet they added Ukraine, the victim on that list…

    We all know the real reason why Russia is not on there

  14. Penguins were tariffed because Trump had just finished watching HBO’s Penguin and just assumed they were all criminals. 

  15. Americans do not really understand how much damage this orange clown is doing to their country.

  18. Dumb Donald is a more faithful Soviet than his butt buddy Vlad.

  19. Like a true bully, push the little man around and shit it at a real fight.

  22. That’s bs, Ukraine wasn’t excluded. We know the real reason why.

  23. I think it’s because Trump loves the way Putin makes him feel after a rough night on his knees.

  24. Looks like getting out of US tariffs is a no brainer… just invade another country.

  27. Hilariously but in a cry yourself to sleep ironic way, Trump hosing the global economy has hurt oil futures which means as the price of oil falls, the Russian treasury will take more of a hit than any sanctions. 

    Basically Trump dropped an economic nuclear bomb on his own foot on purpose cause thinks it good but at least the radiation is going to effect his buddy Putin who he was trying to help out. 

  29. Yeah, sure it was. Because that makes sense if your boss tells “you don’t do that or you will need a food tester any avoid second floor and above windows for the rest of your short life.” You also may want to avoid shooting yourself in the back of your head twice and falling in to a feral hog pen… ya know, shit happens.

  30. This administration is bullshit. Do I need to pay taxes anymore?

  33. This is not what they said at first. They said there wasn’t enough trade for tariffs but that was soon refuted when they tariffed secluded islands.

  34. like someone else said, that logic makes no sense given Ukraine was on the tariff list. but beyond that, tariffs should be EXTRA leverage to force russia to come to an agreement, so it makes absolutely zero logical sense

  35. It amazes me how easily his base eats this shit up. They hear this (and that’s a stretch on its own), knowing nothing of the ~~broken~~ violated ceasefire, since Fox is talking about trans fencers and other distractions (and certainly not the state of the stock market) all day. They then go, “Oh, well that makes perfect sense!” They then proceed to do absolutely zero follow-up research to find out that: A) Ukraine wasn’t excluded, and B) Russia violated the ceasefire, which in a just world would carry some sort of punishment, such as even more tariffs and not zero.

    I can’t even begin to imagine how ignorant they must be about other facets of their lives if they’re not even worried about seeing if the leader they love so much is just feeding them easily disproven bullshit *every day*.

  37. Donald J. Trump

    -bankrupted 6 companies
    -and a country

  38. Imposing tariffs on a war-stricken country while actively protecting the invader tells me everything I need to know about the USA.

  39. Putin is the happiest man in the world right now. He is laughing it up with his oligarchs at how easy it was to bring down the US.

  41. What an odd way to say because the US has Putins dick in their mouth.

  43. So Russia is just incentivized to keep these negotiations drawn out with no resolution

  44. What ongoing negotiations? Russia rejected the agreement and went crazy doing terrorist attacks on Ukraine these past 3 weeks. What a joke. Softest most spineless presidency in US history.
