How can an insignificant word like "Tariff" cause a country the importance of The United States of America to turn the world upside-down, inside-out and ready to go to war?
I have lived in America for nearly ninety years and I don't think I've ever paid much attention to what a tariff even is. As a matter of fact, it takes an economics profesor to explain the word and an attorney with a doctorate in world trade dialog to explain why it is, evidently, so damn important to we mutton-headed folks of the nation!
Of course, the first thing the television news networks do is bring in a pointy-headed man or woman from some Wall Street financial firm who starts explaining, beginning at Yale third-year Business Class and instantly puts us to sleep!
What I don't understand at all is, "How did Donald Trump become an expert at explaining a tariff so well. He has every country up in arms and ready to go to war with us. I heard that he doesn't even read!
Heck, he even had some tiny islands in the middle of nowhere in on the tariff thing. . . and they are uninhabited! Some have a "raft" of penguins (in the water) or a "waddle" of penguins (on the land), but no human beings! Figure that out!
So do penguins know how to write out those checks to Trump?
Never mind, I'll just wait for somebody to tell me what I owe and pay it when I can.
One other thing. . . can someone find another word than Tariff for this global "money grab?"
How about we call it "Trump's Golf Kitty?"
