In his boneheaded attempt to make Americans Poor Again, Donald Trump went around slapping tariffs down until a grown up pointed out that it was a stupid idea and the markets crashed so he backed down and pretended that was his plan all along.
Obviously wasn't and there is a reason Donald Trump said he liked the uneducated but the Penguins of the Heard Island and McDonald Islands have a theory why he backed down and are claiming victory.
Last week when he had the brain fart that Americans would really like to pay more for almost everything, the Tangerine Tinged Tyrant imposed 10% tariffs on
an Australian territory with no human inhabitants, just Penguins and Seals.
The Seals kept a dignified silence but the Penguins didn't hold back and told Trump to keep his flippers off their things and organised a protest, even setting up a website @PenguinsAgainstTrump with the byline 'We love fish and hate fascists'.
The penguins become unlikely social media stars and since Trump went from saying that he definitely wouldn’t pause his tariff plans to then go and pause them a few days later, the penguins have prevailed and have been celebrating winning the Trade War against the honey faced lunatic.
In a hastily arranged press conference, the top Penguin put down his fish to say: 'Did he really think he can take on penguins in a tariff war and win? He thought that he’s no match for Russia or China, so he’s picked on an islands of Penguins as he thought he could beat us but we beat him when he realised that we export the Ice that he has in his Diet Coke'.
Congratulations to the Penguins, we are proud of you.

all this opinion of yours does is prove that you don't understand what has happened to the US the past 75 years as the US defended and subsidized the eu nations, uk, japan, et al.
did the US do these things for our own good? of course. however, many nations have taken advantage of the situation and our politicians (especially the left) have looked the other way on many abuses from the nations we have helped. nations that have made it so expensive to import goods from the US (europeans use tariffs/vat, asians subsidize their companies) that conditions emerged that have/are causing harm to the US:
1.) an american company that wants to manufacture cannot do it economically unless they go offshore
2.) innovation must be taken offshore to be economically viable
3.) to be economically viable american companies must outsource work to nations with cheaper labor (india, mexico, ireland, etc.) so americans have been denied many tech jobs as IT jobs go offshore
4.) high skilled work (welding, complex assembly, laser based work, etc.) has gone offshore denying work to millions of skilled middle-class americans
in the meantime, US national debt has gone from $5 trillion to $35 trillion in 25 years as we have policed the world, kept commerce open globally, subsidized europe, subsidized japan, and helped bring china into the 21st century.
that era is coming to an end. all you brits and other eurotrash that think you are wiser, smarter, morally superior can start pulling your own weight for the first time since 1947.
lets see how long it takes before you go back to your warring european ways... germany doesn't trust france, spain doesn't trust the uk, nobody trusts the french... this will get ugly fast.
good luck.
