Yeah so y are we doing them?

Like I’m all for retaliation and fuck the US, not interested in bending to their will, but there’s gotta be a better way to fight back than retaliatory tariffs. I mean severing ties with US trade is great, let’s do that in a clean, not tariff way.

Look at this poor guy who still thinks that logic and facts matter.

And yet I’m getting downvoted. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.

Yeah because the US can't be reasoned with, and if you don't understand that yet then you may be indeed on crazy pills

I’m not suggesting reasoning with them. They’re insane. The most evil country of our generation went full mask off and are threatening to devour us.

I think you are right

Like what?

There isn't. The best strategy is for literally everyone to work together and tariff them so people see what a douchenozzle Trump is

And it seems to be starting to work

He's even applying tariffs to us here in Australia, and we're buying his shitty submarines and we don't have retaliatory tariffs. In fact, he's lying about us.

The guy got his tariff plan from chatgpt and likely gets his info from there too. Don't forget that the people who worked with him previously said he doesn't listen to any briefings
