We are imposing tariffs on WHOLLY UNINHABITED antarctic islands in this list (Heard and McDonald). The administration asserts—and Forbes reprints this uncritically—those islands have charged 10% tariffs on US goods that it needs to respond to. https://www.forbes.com/sites/mollybohannon/2025/04/02/heres-the-full-list-of-trumps-reciprocal-tariffs-announced-wednesday/

Yes, you read that right. We’re taxing nothing from no one.
And the world is watching 🌓✨

The tax applies to all items and services regardless of their country of origin. Even domestically produced things.
He understands nothing.
Lies & distraction.
And just incredibly stupid. Unless you own the slush fund that is going to collect the taxes.
Which is likely what has to happen.
Trump’s table lists us as “10%”. I have no idea where that came from. If indeed he’s confusing between GST and tariffs, then it’s worse: he’s copy pasted the number from another country.
They don’t.
MAGA & Trump can’t understand “tariff” or “ally”
Be easier to get a rotting gourd to understand

But, you know, he’s hiding his ongoing failures behind this BS too.

This regime is a tragedy.
simpleton.
🤷♂️
It’s all just so dumb.
If, for some reason, it has not been levied or paid, then of course it cannot be claimed.
Checks out.
SMH
Trump & all of his advisors are morons.
They claim we have to “retaliate” with tariffs on uninhabited islands?!?
Uninhabited islands are taking advantage of us?!?

Slashes health care

Pardons crooks,

To Americans, yes, but the islands... they're being very unfair. That's what they're saying. FFS.
*According to some sketchy internet info I found.
Automobile parts? Leather steering wheel wraps, maybe?
they are totally unfair and rude - in many ways people have been saying for a long time -
those 2200 people including the dead ones need to learn that we have been taken advantage of and we are liberating ourselves from their ugly meanness- many people say Biden was in on their scam
Is it TLDs? Svalbard has a .sj, Heard & Mcdonald has one, Norfolk Island have one.
(No, literally.. there are no cards on the island)
No reason.
26 is coming vote them all out
Obviously, those three islands totaling 4 square miles need to learn not to threaten US trade!
To be fair, I'm sure that no one in the Executive Branch knows that American Samoa is a US Territory, despite the name.
Narnia 25%
Nod 20%
Lilliput 30%
Wakanda 90%
If any of Trump's sycophants and defenders actually believe him, they will prove it by going to claim the vast treasure they insist is there.
Here's a thought...
How about you do some journalism and VERIFY prior to publication
"Would you miss them?"
Let us rejoice in small victories.
BIOT is Diego Garcia, a joint US-UK military base.
We tariffed OURSELVES.

Narnia got hit with 42.0% too I think.
These are Reciprocal.
AS IN: it the penguins tariffed us we will tarrif them.
Duh.
I probably wouldn’t march in the streets to appose it either.

Trump is stupid. He'd match them.
