He’s slapping 10-40% tariffs on 180 countries, including allies like Canada, Mexico, and the EU, calling it “reciprocal” trade to “Make America Wealthy Again.” Sounds like a campaign bumper sticker, but it’s a sledgehammer to global trade.

The White House says it’s about fairness — if you tariff us, we tariff you back harder. But let’s be real: this is less about economics and more about Trump flexing for the base. Allies are pissed, and they’re not just sitting there.

Canada’s talking retaliatory tariffs, Mexico’s economy is wobbling, and the EU’s gearing up for a trade fight.

Here’s the kicker: these tariffs are jacking up prices for us. Economists are screaming that inflation’s gonna spike — think higher costs for everything from cars to avocados.

And don’t get me started on the stock market; it’s already throwing a tantrum, with the S&P 500 dipping 2% after the announcement. Meanwhile, Trump’s spared Russia, Cuba, and North Korea from these tariffs, citing existing sanctions.

Yeah, you heard that right — Putin gets a pass while Canada gets the boot. Smells like geopolitics dressed up as economics, especially with Trump cozying up to Moscow over Ukraine. I’d say: “Trump’s playing chess with a baseball bat, and we’re all gonna pay for the broken dishes.”

Did he learn from Pandemic that if supply is low but demand is high they make mega bucks.

I paid $10.89 cents for 6 avocados today - at Costco. At least they were good ones. I’d paid more for overripe ones at Walmart.

Australia had no tariffs on US and still got slapped with a “reciprocal” trump tariff https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c705z2e8wxzo

Right!? Trump's Tyrannical Revenge tour is shown by everyone he's the Russian asset we already knew he was, and now he has the Project 2025 KKKlan calling the shots while he distracts us with his chaos mentality over his beliefs about how the economy works. Ugh🙄
