Ridiculed for imposing trade tariffs on frozen islands largely inhabited by penguins, Donald Trump's formula for calculating those levies has a serious side: it is also hitting some of the world's poorest nations hardest https://reut.rs/41ZsaSa

We heard it here with our right wing Tories, who said no aid unless we get something back. But what monster increases tariffs on a country that is struggling with a natural disaster. 🤔
He hates the poor, military & working class and loves billionaires. That's him in a nutshell. It would've done us good if all those who voted for him and now worried if Medicaid/Medicare/SS/veterans benefits will be cut, had understood that basic feature about him before they submitted their ballot.
Not alone the "also hitting some of the world's poorest", also his own citizens. The Trump's, Musk's , Vans's etc. will not drink a bottle of French wine less, notwithstanding his 200% import tariffs. Only the poorer Americans will feel them.
He’s trying to be an international mob boss using US influence built on the backs of all of us. He’s looking for “tribute payments” that’ll never benefit our Treasury. That’s why he set up that ridiculous meme coin. Watch which businesses get carve outs. Excerpt 👇🏽 from Heather Cox Richarson 4/3/25
Thank you Reuters for emphasizing Trump's abuse of the poor nations as he merrily carries on with his chest-thumping world-domination cosplay via his bullying. He will never, ever figure out that a true world leader starts with an ethical values system instead.
Emphasis on punishing the poor. Poverty is a crime in the eyes of Donald Trump and his regime. No pain is too severe for those with the audacity to fall into poverty. Empathy is weakness to these hordes of suited colonial aggressors.
