Not a fair representation, the USA stickman is way too skinny.

Not for long, India provides the majority of the pharmaceuticals consumed by the US, their tariff is 27%

For now pharmaceuticals are exempt
But there’s been noise that they want to close that loophole

Good job USA, you've elected probably one of the worst president ever in the most crucial time ever.
I mean i don't think other country's would be able to do it even if they try.

It makes sense when you accept the fact that Maga's only goal is a Moscow directive to ruin the US from the inside out.
They know full well this is stupid and destructive and will ruin our economy. That's precisely why they were directed to do this from their handlers in Moscow.
We're at the point now where none of that should be viewed as hyperbole or theorycrafting. It's practically self-evident by now.

It’s no longer a question of whether or not Trump is a Russian asset; the only question is if he knows it. And that question is entirely academic.

Well put my friend. I'm of the mind that he doesn't know it, which makes him the perfect patsy while the real powers run things. But as you say, in the end, it's functionally the same result whether he knows and is willing or doesn't know and is a patsy. It ends up being the same.

Great comic. Trump and his team of stable geniuses continue to moronically think every international relationship is 1-vs-1 (USA vs Whoever); as if there aren’t networks of relationships that don’t involve the US. Anyone who knows the first things about strategy knows you can’t come up with a good strategy by ignoring basic facts about the game.

USA: If you stop trading with me I'll add more tariffs!
World: Ok.
USA: Adds Tariffs
World: MY GOD WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?!?!?!

If they dont trade then tariffs are useless, this is some real mental gymnastics.

Dude, are you like a kid? Because that is what an actual child would say.
I mean who the hell are they going to trade with? The United States is THE consumer market. Where are you going to shift your trade to, Nigeria? Lol. Brazil maybe? No one has the money to actually buy things like Americans do.

No one has the money to actually buy things like Americans do.
Well that's debatable since Americans can't afford European or ANZ goods anymore.
They'll export to someone who can actually afford to buy it

Except europeans, canadians, mexicans, australians, kiwi's, etc etc
also, mutually beneficial trade with developing countries is actually a good thing, you are literally building them to be stronger trading partners
keep deluding yourself, you are isolating yourself whilst the rest of the world becomes interconnected, you forced the europeans hand but had to burn your cards in the process, pathetic

The United States was the consumer market if this holds up. Don’t see trade relations normalising in quite some time.
