    Just off the top of my head:

    1. Pressuring the Fed to cut interest rates and other actions to reduce the US dollar’s value
    2. Massive payouts to agribusiness, especially maize and sugar producers.
    3. Try bringing in some fruit or a salami into the US. I dare you.
    4. OpenAI, Meta, Anthropic, xAI etc ripping off the entire world’s entire content.

    Maybe someone else can fill in the rest.

    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?

        Or Canada with the dairy subsidies.

        Also it’s not like the US has subsidised corn for decades or anything like that.

          Controlled production is not the same thing as a subsidy. Canada controls supply. There is a quota system. No US dairy supplier ever uses their quota, so don’t get dinged with tariffs.

          It is literally nothing.

      I believe he’s trying to say “here’s other examples of CHEATING other countries do to us that are unrelated to tariffs”. Who knows.

      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.

        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.

    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.

    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.

      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”.

        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.

        Its ironic to be complaining (or rather bullshitting) about japan restricting vehicle imports while the US is restricting imports of kei trucks for reasons.

    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.

    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
