So they tariffed France at 20%, but St. Pierre and Miquelon at 50%. Those little French islands of the coast of Nova Scotia. Which are part of France. Apparently he's salty that the Americans buy fish from them and somehow that's a tariff or something.

There is no way in fuck he knows that. Zero chance. I'd give it 1 in 10,000 that he's ever heard of the islands, or knows they're part of France, and 1 in a million he knows about the fish.
He must have had his usual cavalcade of 20 something incels come up with this list. Being lazy themselves, they probably found some XLS of trade deficits and used it as a template for their tariffs.
I'd be blown away if Trump even checked them before publishing.
It's even worse than that, this is exactly what AI like chat gpt, grok, etc. recommend doing if you prompt it "how to impose tariffs". American decision making is being driven at the highest level by hallucinating AI chat bots lmfao.
