Trump woke up, thought about Switzerland, and choose violence.

At this point, I am seriously questioning what we did to piss him off so much.

  2. Helping vault business in Switzerland reach new heights.

    Or maybe refineries will just be declared free ports.

  3. Um… Does he realize that gold will probably be bought anyways, so this is just anither tax on consumers?

    What’s next import taxes on drugs to make them 1500% cheaper?

  4. I mean Switzerland is the biggest commodity trader in the world even though we have zero mining in the country. That’s not due to expertise. It’s because of taxes.

  5. I loathe Trump but to be honest as someone who grew up in southern Europe, Swiss people particularly Germanic ones (Germanic people in general) have incredibly cold social skills that are often perceived as rude by people not from that culture. My *assumption*, trying to extend understanding is this is just a clash of cultures and Swiss people aren’t really all rude—but it would not surprise me at all if a Swiss diplomat would not be good at the sort of interactions a guy like Trump likes. 

    Trump is also very petty and he frequently ran into financial problems as a businessman, it would not shock me if he has some grudge from the 1980s because a Swiss banker gave him the cold shoulder once.
