Idiot on another level, scarily messing with global trade and US supply chain.
Example of Trumpanomics. Small items under $800 have usually been tax and tariff free because the cost of imposition is more than the money raised. Countries with VAT/GST usually allow them in tax free. Genius Trump wants this money or he wants to stimulate the US industries against TEMU etc because you guys are really good at making cheap gadgets, why have an earring when it can double as a bluetooth earphone for $2?
But better still, because he doesn't believe or accept that the user pays the tariff , a minimum $80 (10% of $800) , i.e you who vote for him, he wants it added to the price and paid to US.
Collectively everyone goes..."you said what?...hold it right there...we don't have systems in place to do that. How about we halt all shipping/posting and get an agent 'your side' to collect it for you and charge the customer. Can you hold on while we do that"
And with that, everyone from DHL to Australia Post have suspended deliveries until it's figured out , "we'll get back to you"
LRC poster goes "hey, where's my bluetooth dildo"!!
You guys receive your dildos yet? I mean they are 'small' items. World postage services sti;; suspended to USA until local agents appointed to take the tariff from you, the American customer, and give it to Trump.
Keep payong his taxes, use a banana for now
