You could say they're about national security, but then why would you tariff everything? It could be about manufacturing, but why then tariff vanilla from Madagascar? It could be about reciprocity, but why aren't they tailored to the specific tariffs that other countries have? - ThreadSky

It's all about Donald Trump and his sociopathic need to have every country on Earth pay him tribute.

We're buying all the vanilla from Madagascar, and they're not buying enough vanilla from us!!! That's evil and unbalanced!!!

A day why are they la else Reciprocal by CNN?

This is how you know this administration has no clue what they're doing. They parade out all these different reasons for tariffs that all conflict and counteract each other. This is an absolute shit show.

It’s about Russia. The only way that Russia can win the war in Ukraine (and against the west generally) is if the western economies collapse. 47 is doing it for them.

But Russia's economy is also going to collapse thanks to tanking oil prices

And then there’s the timing. Companies who ordered goods back in December are just now getting their shipments. What they had budgeted for, has now doubled in price coming from China. But they can’t just cancel since the product has no replacement in the US!

No reason.

Sycophants covering the mad actions of der Leader to try and convince people he's actually in control of himself and his actions, instead of the actual lashing out with uninformed, out of date ideas and "irritable mental gestures", as @matthew.flux.community called them.

Because the subtext of what "national security" means is traumatizing what they see as weakness in our entire society. It's also war on cheap vanilla because... vanilla makes us weak. I know that sounds crazy, but look at the people they're listening to, citing: they are crazy on exactly that scale
