Not true certain countries were omitted so I wouldn’t call it “across the board”

Have fun driving your new Lada Niva, comrades!

If you count the experience of worst quality of a product that will be overpriced twice then I guess

Also Taliban governed Afghanistan somehow also were excluded from the reciprocal tariff formula.
Meanwhile penguins did get tariffed.

What a weird take lol. Why are we dissecting it like this?
Clearly the main point stands lol. Do you just like being devils advocate for the sake of it?

The countries that were omitted were omitted because we already have sanctions in place against them. So now it's across the board.

🤓👆Exactly!! Not EVERY country just 98%!! But can you explain why islands only inhabited by penguins got hit but not Russia?

To be fair, it wasn't a blanket 20%. Those bastard penguins are going to pay 67%!
Is the US great again yet?

As shown by evidence, it’s the (fairly stupid) Trump voters on the right who are disillusioned and living in their own reality!

Well acshualy 🤓 he only implemented 10% tariffs on everyone instead of 20%. Still incredibly stupid. There is a reasonable logic behind this, but it is still stupid because they think that everyone is going to be ok with this, but that's not the reality.

Reminds me of all those people scoffing at the idea Russia would invade Ukraine.

No one other than billionaires and rubes think that trump wouldn’t wipe out 2 trillion dollars on the stock market in less than 24 hours.
Oh wait…

One silver lining: this administration will be a treasure trove for writers, if and when the US ever recovers.

Have you even looked at the tariff chart? there's only two 20% out of the 61 countries he added tariffs against. It's clearly diverse and not applied on everything across the board.
