I mean. We could do all that if we want.

You heard him folks, shine up your Somali and take to the seas, this man wants to see if we can cost him more money as traditionalists.

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.

I'm guessing that one is toward the EU?

I was wondering when piracy is going to join the game. Awkwardly absent so far.

He doesn't even know or care about how traditional tariffs are supposed to work. What makes him think he knows what the fuck is non-tariff? Old fucking moron.

When they say 'piracy' does he think they are referring to Captain Jack Sparrow?

Does he think that pirates would turn around and buy $1 Trillion worth of media if pirating stopped? Lmao.

my concern over IP Theft goes from the ground up, can't help it. I'll worry about what corps think they're missing out on right after I've acknowledged each and every person who has ever written anything on the internet, or shared an original work in any way. the damage done by tech bros pillaging the collective imagination is way higher than $1T

How dare other companies cheat by having more stringent food standards than the USA? Everyone should be forced to buy and ingest real American salmonella.

I am still annoyed that we let the damn Argentinian beef get through, but I think it's comparatively hilarious that we still won't budge on US "food".

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Hell, he might end up more coherent.

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".

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 week ago

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.

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'm not interested in giving rich humans access to another trillion dollars.

That works against the best interests of hu-fucking-manity.

The fuck is "non-tariff cheating" supposed to mean?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Some nonsense phrase they made up

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.

I wonder what his definition of Transshipping would be if asked off-the-cuff without his advisors around.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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 ?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 week ago (4 children)

When he says transshipping, he probably thinks of a container ship flying the trans flag.
