The best Trump price on the same penguins

On Wednesday, Donald Trump announced his scanning prices plan, which should be applied to almost all other countries on the map (except Russia, which is obviously not on the list). The plan has launched a world trade war – China has already announced reprisal rates – and the stock market has come into free fall this week accordingly. In addition, you may have seen memes on penguins.

During the big press conference of Trump’s “Liberation Day”, journalists received a list of countries and territories that will be subject to prices. This list included the Heard and McDonald Islands, an Australian territory near Antarctica which will now face a 10% tax on the goods sent to the United States, this territory produced, I do not know, many wood or telephone chargers? No, it is actually completely free from people and inhabited mainly by penguins.

Obviously, Trump’s choice to put prices on a territory whose main export is pretty photos of soft birds is an excellent example of the lack of critical thinking that has been in all this plan. So, of course, in an environment that has already generated large tweets, it was necessarily a meme.

The absurdity of penguin prices was also an easy way for Democrats such as representative Jasmine Crockett and representative Eric Swalwell, who used it to criticize the bad leadership skills of Trump. Senator Chuck Schumer even got one.

A kind of Slam-Dunk publication opportunity for these guys. Although you can laugh now, it’s a serious matter. Americans around the world can expect to see a much higher price on the tuxedos that correspond to the skin.
