All those Trumptards should be rejoicing right now because they'll continue to be given Visa Free Entries into America in 2025.

Quick go to America because you'll be truly disappointed remaining in SinkieLand as after the GE2025, the PAPies are sure to garner more than 60% majority in May 2025. So, here's another avenue for those Trumptards to relief yourself.

then how come he's going to tariff almost all of them?

No lah, because of his Trumptards supporters here in this forum, no additional tariffs will be imposed on SinkieLand's exports. Just watch the news on 03 April 2025 (Sinkie Time). Besides, there's no good reason to impose tariffs when the US is having a trade surplus with SinkieLand?

Guess what?

You have underestimated how stupid the orange baby is.

Trump is the man. It's about time the rest of the world is taken to task for the outrageous tariffs they charge on US imports.

Do you really buy the narrative and reasoning? Or are you just impressed that he's willing to take bold action? I'm genuinely curious.

Both actually.

Honestly why should tariffs be a one way street. The EU tariffs US farm produce to death so why can't the USA join in the game??

In may cases Trump is being overly generous.



From Grok:

The European Union (EU) applies a range of tariffs on U.S. farm produce, and these rates vary significantly depending on the specific product. The EU uses the Most-Favored-Nation (MFN) tariff rates under the World Trade Organization (WTO) framework for U.S. goods, as there is no comprehensive free trade agreement between the U.S. and EU to eliminate or broadly reduce these tariffs. Here’s a breakdown based on available data:
General Agricultural Tariffs: The EU’s average applied MFN tariff for agricultural products is around 8.4% to 13.7%, much higher than the 2.9% average for all goods or the 4.7% the U.S. applies to EU agricultural exports. However, this average masks significant variation across specific farm products.

Dairy: Tariffs on U.S. dairy products are notably high. For example, cheese and butter can face duties exceeding 50%, with out-of-quota rates for some dairy items like butter reaching up to 298% and cheese as high as 245%. On average, dairy tariffs range from 49% to 100%, depending on the product and whether quotas apply.

Meat: Beef imports from the U.S. typically face tariffs around 12.8% plus an additional specific duty (e.g., €300 per 100 kg), which can push the effective rate to 40% or more, depending on the cut and quota status. Poultry tariffs range from 20% to 50%, while pork can see rates making it largely uncompetitive (often effectively 50% or higher with quotas).

Cereals: Tariffs on cereals vary, with corn currently entering duty-free due to past agreements (e.g., Blair House Agreement), but other cereals like wheat face rates around 25% to 35%. These can adjust based on import prices under the EU’s entry-price system.

Vegetables: U.S. vegetables encounter tariffs between 25% and 69%, with specific rates depending on the type (e.g., sweet potatoes at 25%-40%, tomatoes at 30%-50%).

Fruits: Tariffs on fruits range from 22% to 40%, with seasonal variations for temperate fruits (higher during EU growing seasons, lower off-season). For example, apples face duties over 7% when competing with EU production.

Sugar: Sugar imports from the U.S. are hit with tariffs around 58%, often subject to strict quotas, making large-scale exports unviable.

Other Products: Groundnuts (peanuts) and prepared foodstuffs can see tariffs from 25% to 50%, while eggs and sugar derivatives also face high rates, often exceeding 30%.

These tariffs are part of the EU’s Common External Tariff (CET) and are designed to protect its domestic agricultural sector, which is heavily subsidized under the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). The EU also uses tariff-rate quotas (TRQs), where lower or zero duties apply up to a certain volume, but much higher "out-of-quota" rates kick in beyond that limit. For instance, U.S. beef has a small quota for hormone-free exports at reduced rates, but most U.S. beef (hormone-treated) is effectively barred by non-tariff barriers, with tariffs adding further cost.

In practice, these high tariffs, combined with sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) regulations (e.g., bans on hormone-treated meat or GMOs), significantly limit U.S. farm produce exports to the EU. In 2022, U.S. agricultural exports to the EU were $11.1 billion, dwarfed by the $17.6 billion trade deficit, partly due to these barriers. As of April 3, 2025, no major changes to this structure have been reported, though ongoing trade tensions (e.g., U.S. steel tariffs and EU retaliation) could shift specific rates. For the most precise figures, product-specific HS codes would need to be checked via the EU’s TARIC database, but the ranges above reflect the current landscape.

ok. tell me then.

They've never been a 1 way street. The people who've run the US until now have not been stupid current orange-utan excepted. I've already explained that all of the terms to date have been dictated to a large extent in favour of the US. Forming the EU was a way to counterbalance that. Prior to that, it was always a 1 way street in favour of the US. Do you think the world's mightiest nation with the world's biggest economy for at least the past 5 decades with people smart enough to ensure the Pax Americana lasted so long would not have it any other way?

They've had the world's biggest economy since forever and their economic growth has outpaced everyone else's. Do you think it's because they've been brokering deals to their disadvantage?

And you my friend are incredibly naive to economics. Mind you there was a time when I would have thought exactly the same as you and the orange buffoon does. Oh, some 20-30 years ago. But that was when I was a dumb kid and before I started to understand economics. If you need to resort to AI to explain your way, I really don't know whether to LOL or SMH. AI in it's current form is an data parser, not a logic tool.

You know what? Go and ask AI to detail to you which country's economy has grown the most steadily and strongly since WW2. If you think that's the result of being at losing end of all it's negotiations that it basically dictates to other countries, you really need to examine your thought process.

Here. I'll give you an example. We're all familiar with the local computing scene right? Do you remember a time when computer software was available everywhere and anywhere for mere bucks? Why do you think that got stopped? I'll give you a hint and it's not because the US takes it lying down. That time, sinkieland was still an unnoticeable speck on the world map. And they could easily strongarm copyright law enforcement at their whim. No other country can do that despite their desire to do so. Do you think anything important enough to them would escape notice? If something is happening involving their self-interest it's because they choose and allow it to happen for reasons that benefit them.

They're not dumb and they're not weak. Ok. Let me correct that. They weren't. This incredible act of stupidity will weaken them and the people who will have the most to lose are themselves and their allies that are closest to them. So much for picking your friends. The only reason it's not going to be worse is because the leadership of Russia and China are even dumber. No other country is capable of matching them.

And for that I breathe a sigh of relief. The last thing we need is smarter leadership in China to be the next leader of the new world order. Every time Beijing retaliates, I breathe easier. Well, with the possible exception of Taiwan because they're going to catch the fury of China.



Addendum : Just to humour you, I've gone over the AI summary. It is as dumb and crude as a trashy whore's toenail. It's so stupid that reading it makes me lose brain cells so I didn't get too far, but even then --

For an example, dairy tariffs from the EU : "Last month, the White House said specific levies charged by various trading partners are making it "virtually impossible" for U.S. products to be exported, including a 50% tax on American dairy products sold by EU nations."

50% does NOT = exceeding 50% up to 200+%. :o-o:

Next you'll be telling me foxnews is trash like the guardian.

I've taken the liberty of boldface just in case you miss the point. Pardon the harshness.

You're so locked in to the status quo that you have this idea there is no alternative way of running things.

Remember it's always the disruptors that make the world better and this US administration is most certainly doing things differently.

Trump is a genius and the team he has assembled are the best there has ever been. I look forward to a Golden era like the world has never seen!

Respectfully, you're locked into the idea, not me.

I have welcomed and profited from disruption. But against this, I refuse to derive any benefit from false narratives. I believe it to be cruel and predatory. Disruption doesn't always equate to better. More often it leads to worse. Plenty of examples to go around.

If you think he's a genius, by all means invest in him. I'm not a fan so I really don't know much but I heard he has Trumpcoins or something like that. Also I believe Truth social is investable. Many other ways.

I'm pretty certain you'll still be alive and kicking hard when you see how the wheels of the US economy fall off from this buffoon's flailings.

And I look forward to the inevitable dawning of the light as at some point even the darkest night must pass.

I know Trump is a genius and so are you
How long you think it will take Trump to lead USA to a Golden era
—- so that I can then move from my village by Lake Victoria Uganda to the Golden era country
I just cannot wait anymore
Please please tell me and raise my hopes

It's already happening. By the end of the year most other countries will cave to his will. Just hang in there.

Don't forget Tesla stock. It will hit $1000 and beyond in the not too distant future.

Trump has been a successful real estate mogul, has his own Trump force one Boeing 757, was a successful reality TV star and has won the presidency twice. Politicians used to line up to kiss his ass.

I forgot to include this :

Trump and his team have placed tariffs singling out exports from territories inhabited solely by penguins. Darn those unfair penguins!

If he's a buffoon what does that make you? :D

Oh interesting edit!

It makes me a person happy with my own life. I wish you the same. :thumbsup:

If that is the best salvo against the tariffs it's pretty pathetic. However it is the standard playbook used by those who can no longer defend the indefensible.

Why not just attack Trump's hairdo or his golf swing. :biggrin:

By the way those Penguins are extremely talented and productive. For the life of me I never imagined that penguins could make footwear and motor vehicle parts.

(Bloomberg) – Southeast Asian stocks fell after Asian emerging nations were given some of the biggest tariff increases by US President Donald Trump. Vietnamese shares slid the most in more than two decades.

Vietnam’s main stock index closed 6.7% lower, the biggest one-day decline since September 2001, with about 70% of shares on the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange falling by the 7% daily limit. Equities in Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia and Singapore also declined. Currencies were mixed with the Thai baht and Vietnamese dong weakening, while the Philippine peso gained.

This proves just how powerful Trump is.
