All Things Trump: The Return Of The King

[Svartalf]

rump is a moron not to have realized that his tariffs would provoke a general rise in consumer good prices, even those made in the USA...

[Tero]

But it will collect trillions! From China!

[Svartalf]

yeah, right, tariffs on Chinese imports will be paid by the American buyer, not by China

He's got a cunning plan though.

'"Mad king": Trump baffles observers by suggesting he'll tariff illegal drugs'

President Donald Trump left observers baffled this week when he suggested in a late-night Truth Social rant that his tariffs on Canadian goods would include taxes on illegal drugs.

In the Truth Social post, Trump said that one of his goals with the tariffs was to "penalize Canada for the sale, into our Country, of large amounts of Fentanyl, but Tariffing the value of this horrible and deadly drug in order to make it more costly to distribute and buy."

Given that fentanyl is an illegal drug, the government collects no taxes from its purchase or sale.

Trump seemingly not understanding this fact led to many puzzled reactions.

I heard a comment recently that is probably at least partially true, Trump may like tarriffs because it makes big business come and beg favors.

Um...if you were an oarsman, which way would YOU be rowing?

[Svartalf]

away from invading a land that is not US property

[L'Emmerdeur]

I suppose to somebody who'd never rowed a stroke in their life (the cartoonist and likely much his audience) it looks as if Trump's boat is headed for Greenland. But in fact as Brian pointed out, those oarsmen are rowing the MAGA boat away from the land.

Maybe he has a good memory? Of things long gone.

"Trump administration has put a 10 percent tariff on the Heard and McDonald Islands….

which has a population of 0 people and is inhabited only by penguins."
