President Dumbass is too stupid to realize that we sometimes import oil from Venezuela so the tariffs would impact the USA. He is so stupid that he can’t get out of his own way.
If Alberta premier Smith were not a MAGA quisling, Canada should put a huge export tax on Canadian oil destined to the US. Then watch the MAGAs who were whining for years about the price of gas find some excuse to explain why Trump is not responsible for the surge in prices.
I want to be in charge of everything, everywhere, so I’ll make the entire USA look like a bunch of fools in my pathetic effort to do so (and to get more attention-which is always a win for me.)

It’s stunning how not a day goes by without another stupid action from Jabba the Trump. It’s so important to him that his name is mentioned multiple times every day. Guess you can’t be a raging narcissist otherwise.
China, which never suspended imports of Venezuelan crude amid U.S. sanctions, last year remained the largest destination for Venezuela's oil, taking about 65% of the country's average exports of 695,192 barrels per day (bpd), according to LSEG vessel monitoring data and PDVSA documents.Jan 3, 2024
There's no point in covering anything trump says because he lies as often as he breathes, & media won't take a few seconds to ascertain if trump is lying or not because they just want $$$$$ from the endless firehouse of bullshit scandals surrounding trump & maga.
Dear Americans ... A message from the UK..... I know you're a big country and that only 51% of you have passports and that most of the things that you need in the world you tend to get from your own town or city... but do you have any idea at all just how nuts this looks from the outside???????
31% voted for him & of that, some actually believed he’d be good for the economy. The majority of us know everything is crazy but our wealth & power is concentrated. Our protests & boycotts (outside of Tesla) aren’t being covered. Everything is nuts.
Pretty sure most stuff Americans buy is not from America, let alone local. Everything is either from China, Mexico, Canada or some other nation. So many of us use Amazon and we manufacture ~nothing. The only American product I can think of that I buy is almonds… maybe a local honey sometimes. Eggs?
Fair enough....but the point I'm making there is that many Americans are incredibly insular and don't have any understanding of how much of a bunch of mad assed amateurs this administration looks from the outside. ( this business with the raids on Yemen and Signal won't help!!!)
Ask that question here and then run over to Twitter (never X) and ask them.
You'll get two different answers.
One will be 'yes' and one will be 'fuck you.'
That is accurate.
And "worrying" and "illuminating" are as well.
And there's the added layer that roughly 88 million registered voters just couldn't be bothered with voting.
You have math problems down there maybe you shouldn't dismantle education what about the other 3%. Your orange fat man can't do math either oh and supposedly the smartest richest man also has math problems! Yup hillbillies
sure they can, the reason they don't is the US is the center of all global trade, it's got 340 million rich consumers, and imposing tarrifs on someone as unhinged as trump only means more pain for their own economies, and most officials don't want to take that kind of political hit
let's circle back in 5 years, I think you'll find regardless of how onerous trump and whomever follows him makes trade with the united states, foreign nations will still be falling over themselves to sell their goods to it. Russia, India, and China all how poor consumer bases, volume doesn't makeup
those nations who dont follow him on truth social are in for a helluva shock personally I would have got my press secretary to do it because well its her job really.
Trump threatens a 25 percent tariff on countries that buy oil and gas from Venezuela. China was the largest buyer of Venezuelan crude oil in 2023, with the U.S. being the second. So, we'll impose a 25% tariff on ourselves? What a nitwit.
By imposing 25% tariffs on countries that buy oil and gas from Venezuela fElon47 is supporting Russian oil production because that is where these countries will end up buying it from to avoid the tariffs. This includes India, China, Spain, Italy.
If, as a result of these measures, Venezuela's economy worsens even further, more Venezuelans will emigrate. They will probably no longer reach the United States due to the immigration policies, but they will look for another country.
So no country can buy oil from Venezuela, and you will be sent to a deadly prison in El Salvadore if you say bad things about Elon Musk or Tesla. Got it.
I think I saw they were running about $10 more per barrel. Shipping I assume. A 25% tariff probably covers that. A 10% tariff makes it close. Given the >$4 Billion the family has gotten from the Saudis, I would bet it’s connected. Gonna try any excuse to buy from them probably.
I wonder if they’d try to tie in all the pipelines via the Bering Sea. Canada would make sense in that case, but it would take decades to complete something like that I would think.
Trump doesn’t want refugees, but he creates refugee crises by starving populations who were already being exploited. The man who is openly calling for ethnic cleansing for a Riviera in Gaza. Trump & Maduro have something in common: Both should be in jail.
If we survive this imbecile, history will chronicle the fall of America with the loss of every single friend we ever had. You cannot bully people like this and expect positive results unless you’re a malignant narcissist who is disconnected from reality.
As an American....
Let the entire world
Isolate us back to the
Stone Age.
Trump has no business doing business.
This is entirely Trump's fault
Due to his incompetence, stupidity,
And pettiness.
We shall be an island alone in the world.
Let Trump's
Greatest Depression
Begin.
#Project2025 mentions Venezuela as one of five nations requiring heightened attention due to its potential threats to US safety, security and economic interests.
So, again and again and again, Trump is predictable, and thus manageable.
Yes he will and just like all others except WWII they will lose! USA could not have defeated the orange Hitler mentor without help. This time no one wants to help!! N Korea nope, Russia, nope, Saudi's are very quiet. China hell no!! It's lonely at the top eh🇨🇦
Who does Trump think he is God, telling countries who they can do business with, I think the rest of the world should stop doing trade with America, till Trump leaves office
Bet the US would still source oil from these countries though or even buy it such resources from a thriD party country. US is the biggest hypocritics in the modern world!
Billionaires love this shit.
More than their citizenship, code of conduct, their place in the USA, their family, their homes, their principles, their ethics: IS MONEY.
what money loves more then anything is a powerful person who loves extortion.
Know as felon/rapist president is the USA
🇨🇦🇺🇦✌️
The only fucking criminals in this country are in the White House, Republican congress & Senate plus whomever works for them. They are the real criminals
Venezuela has the biggest amount of oil in its soil, they could flood the market and sunk oil price killing US shale drillers and Saoudia Arabia economy so trump needs to protect them....

It's called lying
Which one is the bigger international transgressor?
Hmmmm.
#laughingstock
China
USA
India
I guess those countries will have to go elsewhere for cheaper oil, so might as well pay for tariffs.
Never truthful, always weaving the webs of deceit, that’s our President.
BTW, if you’re a criminal there it’s like a utopia. That’s who’s in charge.

"I'm not voting for the lesser of two evils" for some.
Curious what they're thinking about that strategy now.
Venezuela (296,000 b/d),
Brazil (221,000 b/d), and Iraq (220,000 b/d). "
The threats are just all over the place. Eventually the world will just stop doing business with the US in general.
In 2024, the US brought in $77B in tariffs. This made up 1.5% of total federal revenue, a figure that hasn’t topped 2% since the 1960s.
The US has 14 free trade agreements covering 20 partners, accounting for about 40% of US exports.

OF course, it means the end of any trade from any sensible country with the United States, but hey. Autarky is soon gonna become your favourite word.
Not his, he won't know what it means.

Bring it, motherfucker. Let's crash this shitshow good and proper and be done with MAGA forever.
