Stop. Calling. Them. Reciprocal. Tariffs.

US drinkers will pay more for cocktails, champagne and foreign beers, brands will disappear from bar menus and jobs will be lost on both sides of the Atlantic as a result of President Trump's reciprocal tariffs, drinks industry bodies and analysts said reut.rs/42gPLg2

The lack of character, or warrior ethic, or even the slightest hint of a moral compass among the ranks of the White House administration currently barrelfucking the constitution and everyday people’s lives is staggering.

As the markets crash, alliances fracture, and fear simmers across the globe, Trump boards a plane—waving like a conqueror, his back turned on the fires he started. 🔥 Imposing meaningless Tariffs on ghost islands-‘Liberation Day’ for a war that never was. Nero played the fiddle…Trump plays golf.

Perhaps making US journalism a jobs program for America's dumbest failsons wasn't the greatest idea.

It’s funny because they will call the tariffs to be imposed on the US as retaliatory when THOSE are in fact the reciprocal tariffs

And maybe stop calling them "tariffs"- "import taxes" seems accurate & pairs nicely w/ "income tax."

It's the name narcissistic sleight of hand they consistently bite on with his framing of, "retribution."

Not reciprocal! Ridiculous!
So I’ve created a “Tariff Blues Playlist” on Spotify to remind us who really gets hurt by tariffs, what our true values and character is, & to add some encouragement in these difficult days ahead.
Follow, Listen, & Share. 😎🇨🇦🇺🇸🎶
