Moron did what now?

#Trump announced a 100% #tariff on #movies produced outside the #US, saying #Hollywood was dying a "very fast death" due to the incentives that other countries were offering to draw American filmmakers.

"This is a concerted effort by other Nations &, therefore, a National Security threat. It is, in addition to everything else, messaging & propaganda," Trump said in a social media post.

[I mean…c’mon, a #NationalSecurity threat?]

On the surface, in govt and business, #Japan is an extremely polite country, to the point that people from other countries have difficulty parsing disapproval and rejection since the verbiage is extremely subtle

With that in mind, listen to #ShinjiOguma of the House of Reps talking about #Trump and Trump's 4D chess galaxy brain #tariff bs

#MarketManipulation

#Fraudster #Trump said on Sunday that he would delay imposing a 50% #tariff on all imports from the #EU until July 9 to allow more time for #trade negotiations [or to make money by shorting the market].

In a post on Truth Social, Trump said that he had spoken to Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, about his recent #threat to enact the #tariffs on June 1 if a trade deal could not be reached in the next week.

Trump's threatened 30% #tariff on #SouthAfrica exports is set to deal an economic blow to a community he has vocally & controversially championed: white farmers.
Citing false claims that #white South Africans are being persecuted, #Trump has cut aid to the country, publicly berated its president in the Oval Office & invited #Afrikaners - descendants of early European settlers - to come to the #US as *#refugees*.
