American manufacturers will be slapped with an extra 34% charge on the little stickers they put on their products to show they are made in the USA.

The stickers, made in a factory in Guangdong Province, were previously shipped to the US tariff-free, but will now be hit by Donald Trump’s new levy, forcing US producers to raise the price of their goods.

As someone who has to live here, the effects of one man's grandiose and malignant stupidity suck, but I genuinely appreciate the rest of the world pointing and laughing at him.

This is the onion, pretty funny too. But we are not just laughing at Trump.

I don't know what that means. You're going to have to spell it out for me.
