With Tariffs, Trump is Finding Out That If You Want to Play, You've Got to Pay!

Trump threw a fit on his Mickey Mouse "Truth Social" site over the E U'S having just slapped a 50% retaliatory tariff on American whiskey. He has threatened to impose a 200% tariff on any E U-affiliated nation's alcohol products if they don't immediately rescind this latest tariff. "Mad King Donald"
had started this trade war, and, as an earlier D U post had warned us, he has backed himself into a corner where he cannot escape gracefully without losing face, and will reflexively respond by retaliating further until he either can declare victory or blow the whole thing up first. Both Both American and European consumers alike will soon unfairly suffer for Trump's hubris and madness.
