So now he’s angry that we’ve fucked up our agricultural exports badly enough that the rest of the world doesn’t think our trash goods are food grade?
I would love some of the diseased chlorinated freedom chicken from the U.S.
It is our strongest export for the global autistic community 💪🇺🇸
The fuck is “non-tariff cheating” supposed to mean?

Don’t know but it’s extremely obvious that some of his posts are ghost-written (just like his book) and this is one of them.
Some nonsense phrase they made up
I mean wouldn’t it just be “ways to cheat tarrifs”
Like I guess they don’t want to promote that but they could just say “ways to cheat tarrifs we will punish” to try to sound hard.
But this phrase just makes no sense.
I believe he’s trying to say “here’s other examples of CHEATING other countries do to us that are unrelated to tariffs”. Who knows.
I think he’s saying things other than tariffs that affect how many dollars the US could make selling shit to your country.
Thing is, the list doesn’t make sense. Yeah most countries have VAT. 1) So does the US, it’s called sales tax. 2) I pay VAT equally on American, Estonian or German goods. What’s the problem?
It’s senile idiot for “I’m a senile idiot.”
Good question.
Nobody knows what it is, folks. People are asking, “What is it?”—nobody knows. Experts, politicians, the fake news—nobody has a clue. Maybe it’s something, maybe it’s nothing. Could be the biggest thing ever, could be nothing at all. Nobody knows, believe me. Total mystery.
Bigly if true
As opposed to cheating as an insider trader who manipulates markets with yo-yo tariffs.
My hard drives cost 20% more. IDK what he’s on about “cheating”.
So anyway, here I was, drifting through the lemmy pages, when I realized there was a ton of money to be made by writing software for smugglers.
I have never really known a smuggler of physical goods, but I imagine I will try now
I can’t imagine their software and bookkeeping would be significantly different from any other international logistics company?
Don’t know. But if the tariffs are as bad as many think, I believe the black market in the USA will grow faster than the speakeasies and smuggling booze did a century ago. There will be huge demand to bring in cheaper goods that are legally sold at higher rates.
It’s a new and huge untapped market to provide support, even if most of the movement of goods will be done by organized crime later. A lot of what will happen is unknown.
Certainly there will be a new cat and mouse dynamics. Very rarely does a huge layer of graft poof into existence to fast in a country. Lots of dynamics navigating this new electronic frontier!
I’m not interested in giving rich humans access to another trillion dollars.
That works against the best interests of man-fucking-kind.
I wonder what his definition of Transshipping would be if asked off-the-cuff without his advisors around.
I would kill to see a journalist ask him about literally anything from this list.
I wonder what his definition of Transshipping would be
I think that’s when a fishing boat puts on some guns and radar and starts calling itself a battleship ?
lmao, I would believe that he believes it. He could play Ron Burgundy really well.
When Trump says piracy, I understand he’s referring to classic piracy (with little boats and all), and when he says IP Theft, I assume he’s referring to the piracy that concerns us. Good luck adding a tax to my $0 rate.
When he says transshipping, he probably thinks of a container ship flying the trans flag.
Considering that he thought asylum meant mental asylum, …yeah, probably.
Crewed by transgenic mice!
Well, helllooo there sailor 💖
idk if i want agent orange to get a stroke because on one hand might just die but on the other hand the nonsense he speaks could just get more powerful
Hell, he might end up more coherent.
Trouble is he would still be smarter than bumbling biden.
Holy shit! That guy hacked the system!
funniest thing I’ve read this week. But don’t have any friends with whom I can share
Only male or female shipping allowed.
Bowling ball test?
Trump has claimed a few times that, in order for cars to be approved for import in Japan, they must be able to withstand an impact from a bowling ball without denting. It’s not a real thing. When the White House press secretary was asked why Trump made up such a weird lie, she said it was “obviously a joke”.
Reminds me of the mind-blowing video from Channel 5 news of them interviewing Trump supporters about him posting a pic of himself as king and they say “Oh it means he’s the King of Presidents, like Elvis Presley is the King of rock and roll” and I just couldn’t possibly facepalm any harder.
Its ironic to be complaining (or rather bullshitting) about japan restricting vehicle imports while the US is restricting imports of kei trucks for reasons.
Because kei trucks are obviously death traps

Only when you pirate over $1 trillion in a calendar year, so we’re fine. Facebook, maybe not so much…
Whose writing this shit for him?
AI.
This is just a list of “but I’m not winning so it’s not fairrrrrrrrrr” whining (whinging?)
I feel like if AI would’ve written this, it would make more sense. This reads more like a fever dream.
who’s
Does he think that pirates would turn around and buy $1 Trillion worth of media if pirating stopped? Lmao.
Does he think
No.
Precisely.
He just shitposts. It’s not even high-quality shitposting. It’s not like becoming president improved anything about him. He doesn’t rise to the occasion; the occasion collapses as he rolls over it and makes a mess of it. Every single time.
