Arrr, matey! Which scallywag nations be pilin’ on the most gold to tax our fine American treasures?

2025-04-02

Arrr, President Trump be shoutin' at them scallywags from China, Canada, and the European seas fer their "unfair" plunderin' and taxes on the good ol' U.S. gold! Calls 'em out like a landlubber who forgot to pay his tavern bill! Aye, the seas be gettin' choppy!

Avast ye landlubbers! Captain Trump, the fearless leader of the ship U.S.S. Tariff, be throwin’ down the gauntlet! On a fine Wednesday, he announced a grand scheme to impose a 10% tax on all foreign booty comin’ into our fair shores. He be callin’ out the “Dirty 15” – those scallywag nations makin’ off with more doubloons than they be sendin' our way.

Our captain's not just pickin' on the yellow-bellied Chinese, who retaliated with their own tariffs, like a parrot squawkin’ back. Oh no! He be takin' aim at the entire European fleet too, layin’ a heavy 25% tax on steel and aluminum imports, and threatenin’ to sink their merry ships with car tariffs. The EU be countering with their own cannonade of tariffs, all while the good folks in Texas be feelin’ the sting of this trade war.

Even our northern mates in Canada ain't safe, with Captain Trump ready to unleash a 25% tax on their cheese and butter, as they prepare to strike back with their own tariffs. It be a right mess of a trading squabble, with everyone hoistin’ their sails and puffin’ up their chests. And thus, the seas of commerce become stormy, me hearties! Let’s see if they can find fair winds or be doomed to a life of tariffs and trade woes!
