Reminiscent of The Giving Tree, no?

I wonder if Trump was attempting to channel MLK Jr. You know, civil disobedience, but lovingly.

Nah. That's giving him too much credit.

When I saw the thread title I immediately thought of import duties on foreign models, prostitutes, trophy wives, actresses, cable news floozies, sex surrogates, host mothers, and au pairs. How big a tariff would balance the national budget?

This one may piss me the fuck off, as our business is directly affected by Steel/Construction..

Price goes up on steel, things may slow down, which means.. thanks fuck face

I'm waiting for the howls of outrage when the EU slap a retaliatory tariff on Florida orange juice.

But, but, but, think about that tax cut you just got and how much more a month you're making now.

Winning! Yay!!

The Giving Tree was such a sad story. The way that greedy little boy sucked that sweet tree completely dry was a disgrace. I’m still not okay with it. Poor tree.

Oddly enough I can't say as I disagree. Always kinda made me sad to see the tree give up everything for just a kid.

The comparison was made in irony as these tariffs will most likely be very damaging in the long run.

I confess I didn’t click the link because I’m at work and that would be taking my slacking a step too far. (Reading porn at work, however, is totally fine.)

Trump has signaled that any retaliatory tariffs on American goods would be met with re-retaliatory tariffs on EU automobiles.

He's having fun with his trade wars. They should keep him occupied until his Trump Veterans Day Featuring Tanks Parade in November.
