Poor Penguins

I will let other blogs with more understanding of what the Tariffs imposed by Donald Trump means although from what I am hearing it is stiffing Americans who will now have to pay more for things while the things they export will be boycotted by everyone else as is already happening but what they hey, that's for them to debate but i was amused to hear that the brains behind Liberation Day sought to impose tariffs on places which not only don't export anything to them but has no humans living there anyway.  
Not sure what the Penguins and Seals of the Australian Island Heard and McDonald Islands in the Antarctic thought of Trump imposing 10% tariffs on them but the Australian Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, called them 'a bit strange'.
The orange faced plank also said that Europe doesn't buy American Beef and Chicken which is true because us Europeans don't much like the taste of Chlorine in our Chicken or steroids in our beef so both practices are banned this side of the Ocean.
Interesting that Russia was exempt but Ukraine wasn't but every news outlet is mulling over that so i'm just going to leave them to it and just hope that the Seal and Penguins can find another outlet for their goods...whatever that is.
