The people in this country who are most in need of being made aware of what this administration is doing probably have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about and won’t believe it.
Those damn penguins have been taking advantage of our good faith efforts to trade with them for years now. There is no end to the indignities they require us to undergo before we can even begin the conversations. “Bring us more pebbles” “Join me in a poop-shooting contest” “Watch March of the Penguins with me all weekend” “balance this egg on your foot.”
It’s been too much for too long. Fuck those penguins. This is the least they deserve.
It’s kind of a dumb thing to get hung up on. Clearly it’s 10% across the board with some listed exceptions. It doesn’t really matter that they didn’t make special exemptions for some uninhabited areas.
They just dumped out a list and set everything to a 10% minimum, so lazy but whatever. That is why every single country has 10% no matter what, even Russia and North Korea.
That it is now clear that these decisions were made by using AI. Musk and Trump need to be impeached; you don’t test this kind of technology to make governmental decisions.
Let it all burn. When he burns it all down, the real Revolution can begin. He has started a civil war that will end bloody.
The fastest way to motivate your constituency to revolt is to leave them poor and hungry.
It just shows how damn stupid this whole administration is. Trump proved himself to be Putin’s little bitch by not including Russia on that list. Truly shameful.
It just reinforced the fact that trump and his goons have no plan and no idea what they’re doing and don’t really care. Not one single person could be bothered to vet the list.
It’s a silly distraction from the pile of real issues tariffs caused and will cause. I’m sure the penguins won’t be happy about the reduced demand for barfed up fish, but they aren’t going to fly here and do something about it.
I love the penguin jokes. My serious answer is that the tariff on an uninhabited island is silly, but not worth spending too much time thinking about considering there are real issues facing Americans and by extension the world economy.
People want to elect people they perceive like themselves into positions of power. So if you’re the type to use a fucking ChatBot to do your job for you, than this is the government for you.
I heard (and I don’t know how credible this is) that this was done to cover loopholes where ships could make a stop at these islands and change their port of origin to bypass the tariffs.
Just shows how detached from reality the plan is. Shows the whole world and stock market really. That’s part of the freakout, I believe. It’s clear they don’t know what they’re doing and have every intention of profiteering off the whole world.

It’s sick and pretty sad.
Those penguins are gonna pay. I hate happy feet.
Those penguins had it coming. You’re either for us or against us.
If you have seen the documentary, madagascar, you will know those duckers got off easily
just smile and wave, boys, smile and wave
you mean the island that belongs to Australia and therefore is being subjected to the tariffs imposed on australia
The penguins strike back.
On second thought, let’s not go to Washington DC.
‘Tis a silly place.

I think it’s about time. Those penguins had it coming
Those are called Business Geese and they have money. They’re in business.
They can afford those tuxedos they can afford to pay…uhhh wait who’s paying tariffs?
Those rich penguins with their fancy tuxedos rubbing their wealth in our faces. They need to pay up
Penguins are sex fiends. Make them pay!
It’s hilariously stupid. We also placed a 10% tariff on an island solely inhabited by our own military base. Deep thinkers.
I’m more annoyed by the ones placed on countries we actually buy stuff from
Flock yeah!
I talked to President Wobbles the Third today, it’s sheer pandemonium as their canned sardine empire based around the same product is collapsing.

I know you got that for h1t1
Seems like a weird jurisdictional thing, because worldbank.org does show a couple million $ in trade with Heard Island and McDonald Isla: https://wits.worldbank.org/CountryProfile/en/Country/USA/Year/2022/TradeFlow/EXPIMP/Partner/HMD/Product/all-groups

Pingu is making sad noises
Still better than the 10% tariff placed on Diego Garcia, a US military base..
It’s about US national security, have you seen happy feet
But none on Cuba or Russia? Fucking Communist
Sums up Trump perfectly
It’s Apple and Microsoft trying to kill Linux
Stupid, of course. And totally on brand for the heroes of the MAGAts
Those pesky penguins better start coughing up those fish
trump is a fuckin idiot and he is gonna finish runnin the usa into a third world country……. and the rest of his republicans are no better………………..
They just dumped out a list and set everything to a 10% minimum, so lazy but whatever. That is why every single country has 10% no matter what, even Russia and North Korea.
Fuck those penguins! They’ve been ripping us off for YEARS!
Well, who owns that island?
Trump is a literal idiot and I feel pretty shitty about everything that is going on.
That it is now clear that these decisions were made by using AI. Musk and Trump need to be impeached; you don’t test this kind of technology to make governmental decisions.
My plan was to settle there and hoard merchandise to import/export to the US… But I guess I can’t do that anymore
That pretty much sums up how much Trump and friends understand what they’re doing to the global economy.
back off. I’m drinking the Budweisers as fast as I can
He said SUIT not Tuxedo!
Should be 20%. They should say thank you.
Sucks because I was going to order 1000 Penguins.
Seriously tho, he is preventing anyone from moving manufacturing to any uninhabited areas.
I guess I’ll need to up my guano budget.
I don’t think the Trump administration has considered the fact that penguin’s currency is fish.
They’re all emperors, they can afford it.
Let it all burn. When he burns it all down, the real Revolution can begin. He has started a civil war that will end bloody.

Could be penguins are ” woke”
They had it coming.
It just shows how damn stupid this whole administration is. Trump proved himself to be Putin’s little bitch by not including Russia on that list. Truly shameful.
Vindicated.
I’m fucking embarrassed that these nitwits apparently cribbed the list of countries from a Wikipedia page.
If AI says we have to tariff penguins, whom am I to disagree.
It’s rough. My cousin in Gotham had to turn to other sources of income…
Every day I think to myself “they can’t get any dumber” and every day they prove me wrong. I hate it here.
Those fuckers had it coming
It just reinforced the fact that trump and his goons have no plan and no idea what they’re doing and don’t really care. Not one single person could be bothered to vet the list.
Dem fish ain’t free!
About time they pay they’re share. Are the penguin imposing retaliatory tariffs?
It pretty much sums up the state of our government.
It’s about time we started paying the important tax on those little fuckers. That will show them.
It’s a silly distraction from the pile of real issues tariffs caused and will cause. I’m sure the penguins won’t be happy about the reduced demand for barfed up fish, but they aren’t going to fly here and do something about it.
I don’t think it will bother the penguins.
I hate that we’re just letting all this stupid stuff happen.
Fuck them birds
There’s nothing so quintessentially Republican as doing something out of flailing spite.
I’m pretty sure the penguins don’t care.
This is Reddit, what do you think people are gonna say?
The next tine I need a tuxedo I will certainly Buy American
It tells everything you need to know about our president.
Kowalski….analysis!
It shows how ignorant the US government is.
Not even the penguins get out of their 10% for the big guy.
Unnatural things penguins they deserve it.
They refused to help with the egg shortage, they have to pay.
Oh it is very fitting for the moment. When you elect a clown, expect a circus.
Trump is a fucking moron.
10% is 10%
Smart move as the penguins are unlikely to place reciprocal tariffs on the US.
I love the penguin jokes. My serious answer is that the tariff on an uninhabited island is silly, but not worth spending too much time thinking about considering there are real issues facing Americans and by extension the world economy.
It seems weird, why would individual islands rather than the nations that have sovereignty over them be chosen?
Pure Idiocy. smh
The same way we feel about everything. Just grab our guns and start shooting indiscriminately.
People want to elect people they perceive like themselves into positions of power. So if you’re the type to use a fucking ChatBot to do your job for you, than this is the government for you.
In the words of Homer Simpson: Quack, quack, quack.
I heard (and I don’t know how credible this is) that this was done to cover loopholes where ships could make a stop at these islands and change their port of origin to bypass the tariffs.
Fuck those penguins man, they earned it
I feel like ‘reciprocal’ is another word that Trump doesn’t know the meaning of.
Actions of a demented old fool who suits his pants
je suis français, ici on est mort de rire.
I just watched March of the Penguins and Madagascar and those guys are badasses. We should be worried.
Pisses me off as this just shows how little thought Trump actually put into this.
“Fuck them penguins! But Putin is cool.”
Santa better be ready when North Pole gets on the list.
But none for donnie’s master putin.
I laughed out loud when I saw the news. Yes, impose tariffs on the wildlife. That will show them!
Queue the Benny Hill theme
The only answer here should be incredibly fucking embarrassed.
Just shows how detached from reality the plan is. Shows the whole world and stock market really. That’s part of the freakout, I believe. It’s clear they don’t know what they’re doing and have every intention of profiteering off the whole world.
Did those penguins EVEN SAY THANK YOU?????
They have taken advantage of the American consumer for long enough!
Those friggin penguins never bought a damn thing from us!
Trolls suck drumpf ass
What da penguins do😭😭
Are you suggesting that these penguins have NOT been screwing America for years?
