We put tariffs on an uninhabited island full of penguins but not Russia. Very normal administration we have here. -- Angry (@angrystaffer.bsky.social) April 3, 2025 at 12:49 AM

This is genuinely insane behavior. Not Trump's first insane behavior by any long shot. But it is one of the clearest and most inarguable examples.
Things will fall apart but one wonders whether Trump has the capacity to notice and uunderstand? The man lives in his head, and his head is a very nasty place.

Penguins are beautiful and intelligent creatures. No wonder MAGA wishes them ill will.

Don the Con just wanted to add as many countries as possible. He and whoever looked up a world almanac didn't even know half of the countries on the list existed. More show than good policy.

Remember, Trump says these islands have tariffs on us.
I want to know HOW.

"We now live in the Trump era, where the president's terrible ideas are made real by a team of enablers and toadies. Democracy may die in darkness, but under Trump, it's just as liable to die in dumbness."
Bret Stephens, New York Times.
