Why is Madagascar getting hit with a 47% tariff when all they export are natural resources and tropical food? They don’t have factories producing cheap shit, so why make food more expensive for Americans?

Bc Trump is a fucking moron and he surrounded himself with yes men who won’t push back on him. The GOP is entirely MAGA run. We’re a stupid, ridiculous country.
Because this “leader” (with small hands) is a vindictive moron.
He probably ate a vanilla cookie he didn’t like, and now is taking it out.
Madagascar denied a permit for a Trump tower sometime a long time ago…. probably. The reality — who knows what the reason is — and that creates uncertainty and market volitility.
Most things about these tariffs don’t make sense, don’t try to ask questions or find reason in them.
Because Trump doesn’t know what a tariff is and nobody around him will correct him.
Because he’s a demented pos
why does madagascar have a 47% tariff against US things?
Because the country is run by a legit idiot.
Trump hates Lemurs.
Those fucking penguins should’ve stayed in Antarctica where they belonged….
Because Stupid Trump doesn’t understand economics…
Because Trump uses the Family Guy skin color chart.
Because Trump is dumb as hell.
Putting tariffs on food is the dumbest fucking thing.
Because Trump thinks that Madagascarians are mad at gas cars?
idk, some random, already well-off person with tr.mps’ ear claims it will benefit them or sm so he did it for brownie points?
Because trump is an idiot.
There is no rational reason for any of this. At all. He’s an idiot.
I should have omitted cheap shit in the title of this post and said any factories at all.
Trump hates vanilla ice-cream.
Because the people in power don’t understand the purpose or use of a tariff. End of story. We’re all going to pay more for things we can’t yet produce in America, and I don’t see any viable plans for expanding production here; it’s all just “Punish countries we’re getting products from because we outsourced to them, or never produced them here!”
President Madagascar tried to close the borders. He had no choice
I read another reddit post about a maga pharmacy, your country is actually a third world country in a first world coat. I honestly believe your regressing so fast you are 2 years from banning gay marrages and 5 years from bringing back slavery.
Because Trump is an asshole
Because Trump isn’t smart enough to know what tariffs do. That’s literally the reason
Because they want us to hurt.
Oompa Loompa shitty pants watch the movie and decided to take vengeance on the Penguins.
Madagascar aint bothering nobody man 😭
Why do they have tariffs on U.S. goods?
[removed]
The administration claims Madagascar hits the US with a net effective tariff rate of 93%

Are you disputing that number? It is fair to reciprocate tariffs on countries that are doing it to us in the US is it not? After all this is what Canada and Mexico are hollering that they are doing on the new 25% tariff on stopping fentanyl… right?
Why is not one comment on this thread. Not one. Not a single one: curious and asking “Well, what does Madagascar charge the US in tariffs?”
This will effect the restaurant industry deeply
Answer: Trump and his crew are fucking morons and don’t know how the world works. They know how to make corporations fail. At this point, I think that’s what they are trying to do. Make the US fail, and stay in power when nobody is left to stop them. Hopefully, the military will. At some point.
Trump is an idiot. It’s not that much deeper than you might think. He has not considered the effect of his policies. Indeed he has always acted on his impulses his entire life. This man seems incapable of self-reflection and doesn’t even care to learn how to do so.
Because Donald Trump is a stupid, stupid man supported by stupid, stupid people.
El Presidente always throws in a some random thing in order to make things confusing. If he does something to attack China or Japan, he’ll throw Eritrea or Samoa into the list in order to make people unsure. It’s meaningless; ignore it.
Because Trumps an idiot. Same answer to everything he does.
You are looking for logic in insanity, which is like looking for darkness with a flashlight.
More Winning !!! So much Winning!!! Boss, I’m tired of this Winning thing of yours.
I do a lot of baking. Really glad I stocked up on vanilla last year, before the orange menace took office.
Because the administration wants to force Madagascar to open its market to US agricultural products.
Because he thinks that having a trade deficit is bad, and that taxing those who buy those imported goods is the right way to “solve” it.
It’s not about actually putting tariffs on anyone. It’s about removing the world’s tariffs on us. We consume so much more than the rest of the planet. It will be for a month or so and you’ll see all tariffs lifted one at a time through agreements.
Sadly it probably just boils down to the fact King Julian hasn’t even bothered to call him yet and congratulate him on the biggliest win in presidential history the earth has ever seen, no wait, the universe has ever seen.
Because the president is an idiot that doesn’t understand how things work or listen to people that do.
Because they charge the us over 90%
Do you think anything he does makes any sense?
