Don Jr, Eric and Ivanka will probably have to raise their prices. Unless there’s going to an exception the for really trashy, gaudy but expensive souvenir crap and not quite top level couture that all have “trump” branded on it.

This is not a guy that wants to create isolationism or a trade war.

Because this is a guy who has already accomplished the isolationism and trade wars.

Chamber of Commerce is warning that annual tariffs of as much as $60 billion on Chinese goods would be “devastating.”

So the lesson for the Chambers of Commerce is to be careful what they wish for.

What a fabulous opportunity for people like Jack Abramoff to create new cottage industries that rebrand cheap shit coming in from China with Proudly Made in America labels!

Why am I certain that all merch from TrampCo and Spawn will be exempt?

“Donald Trump is considering sweeping tariffs on imports from China…”

Where’s the GOP base gonna shop when the price of every single item at Walmart, Dollar General, and Big Lots shoots beyond the reach of their wife’s paycheck?

PS: To all those brainiacs in the GOP base, a tariff is a tax, so – Republicans are raising your taxes!!!

“His instincts are exactly right: We need a level playing field with the rest of the world,” Perdue said recently on Fox Business. “And I think we’ll see a measured approach going forward. This is not a guy that wants to create isolationism or a trade war.”

Bwaahaahaa! Priceless, just priceless…

Relax, everybody - nothing can possibly go wrong click go wrong, click go wrong, click go wrong, click go wrong …

Doubt this will happen, and if it does you can bet China won’t take it sitting down. Yanking all those patents they just granted Javanka and all those sweatshop items The Dingbat has made there are gonna be taxed to kingdom come. As it is, his cheesy swag is already overpriced bullshit.

“The United States could lead a coalition of large trading partners and allies against China.”

Like what President Obama did with the Trans-Pacific Partnership?

Dude, your own people refused to take up the matter after we wrapped up talks with 11 countries.

“The president’s going to continue fighting … the American worker,” said Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders."
Fixed that.
Now, to guide us through the next step in rolling out our regressive tax system, Wilbur “Putin’s Banker” Ross.
You know this has gotta be done with an eye on the interests of our country and allies … a jaundiced eye.

The stupidest possible thing at the stupidest possible time in the stupidest possible way. Every time.

And let’s not forget about all that Chinese money that was keeping Trump and Jared’s jenga towers from toppling . . .
