The president typically ties his tariffs to trade policy, but he hit Brazilian products with the highest rate of any country’s goods largely due to politics.

    Brazil. Please cut off all coffee exports to the US, then just wait. (Brazil is the world’s largest exporter of the number one drug in America.) I’m dead ass serious. People won’t stand up for their neighbors and community when Nazies are rounding the others up. But fuck with their go juice… All hell will break loss.

      Because it doesn’t directly affect them yet.

      “Then they came for my coffee”, and all that.

    Bullcrap. Almost all of them are rooted in racism or petty grudges
