The Trump admin has proposed a tariff of up to 100% on $25 billion in European items. Romano, Parmesan and Gouda are all on the list. But it's not just cheese. The tariff is proposed to hit a variety of items like wines, meats, olive oil, olives and pasta. https://cnn.it/2LDlUH4

1. You've got to think of this from his perspective.

With this tariff, he could fuck up our economy AND the European economy seat Now it make sense, right?

2. Pasta?

t-rump and the administration alongwith the Republican party surely want to destroy the economy.

And behind closed doors Republicans are discussing how to fuck up "more" people's lives.

6. Brother, can you spare some Parmesan?

You know, I posted a comment not long ago kidding around about him jacking the tariffs up and up and adding more and more of them.

If this one is true, then, gee. Well, many foods should become real luxuries if this happens.

8. Well, from my experience it won't affect many of his followers.

They don’t eat good pasta, olive oil, good cheese or any of those things.

As long as canned veggies, Budweiser and ground round stays cheap they won’t care.

19. Exactly what I was thinking.

11. i thought the president could only enact tariffs in an emergency situation?

I guess "in a time of war" is the term, though none of this has anything to do with the one war with only 14K troops.
And he's somehow going to claim that the EU-- several of whose countries have sent troops to that war-- is an enemy?
