US Election & Presidency

Trump's put tariffs on The Hearth and McDonald Islands, which are two volcanic islands in the Antarctic Ocean between Australia and South Africa.

They are only habited by penguins.

Those penguins are expensive enough already, over two quid a pack these days!

We all know they've been taking the piss, I reckon they can fly when they aren't being filmed.

I hear Feathers Mcgraw is very pissed off with Donald

Ian Dunt, a columnist for a publication called iNews comments on Trump’s tariff chart.

"This might be the single stupidest thing any of us will ever see. It is stupid in every way: presentationally, intellectually, politically, methodologically, morally and of course economically. The word stupid doesn’t really suffice for the full level of idiocy we’ve now reached."

"The numbers on the chart are pure gibberish. It’s hard to state just how nonsensical it actually is. You might as well divide the numbers of apples in your kitchen by the number of bagels and use it to calculate your mortgage rate. To criticize it on political or economic grounds is too generous. It operates below the level of rational thought."

Apparently the penguins have been exporting millions of dollars worth of machinery and electrical goods to the US

Even allowing for Whitehouse incompetence, I suspect some jiggery-pokery here.
Someone in China has probably been using the islands as a business address to avoid the existing tariffs

Today 4 US soldier who died in Lithuania during a training excercise are being flown back to Dover Air Force base.

The people of Lithuana lined their streets to pay their respect to the soldiers.

But Trump's not going to be there on there return. He's going to be at his Saudi-backed LIV Golf dinner in Florida instead

Wouldn't be a surprise unless someone's gone into business exporting penguin based products
