Trump is definitely a Russian asset.

Un-fucking-real.

This presidency will be such a shit stain on the world. The world will never trust the U.S. in the same way it did before.

Over a century of trust and partnerships destroyed in less than 100 days.

I wonder why...

Uh? Of course he isn't. Why would Putin tell him to put tariffs on himself? That makes no sense.

You can view this one of two ways, possibly both:

1. Krasnov
2. Trump apparently was doing these tariffs based on trade deficits (Which is stupid on its own, if your dentist doesn't buy the widgets you sell, that's not a tariff.), if Russia wasn't running one, then there you go.

To rebuke 2 I present the following- https://ustr.gov/countries-regions/europe-middle-east/russia-and-eurasia/russia

U.S. total goods trade with Russia were an estimated $3.5 billion in 2024. U.S. goods exports to Russia in 2024 were $526.1 million, down 12.3 percent ($73.5 million) from 2023. U.S. goods imports from Russia totaled $3.0 billion in 2024, down 34.2 percent ($1.6 billion) from 2023. The U.S. goods trade deficit with Russia was $2.5 billion in 2024, a 37.5 percent decrease ($1.5 billion) over 2023.

Based on that math, with the CNN article I linked for the formula (the country’s trade deficit divided by its exports to the United States times 1/2) we get - (2,500,000,000 / 3,000,000,000) * 1/2 = 0.416666...

So Russia should have a 42% tariff based on their purported 83% tariff on us.

Good point, considering the US still trades with Russia.

**United States Imports from Russia was US$3.27 Billion during 2024, according to the United Nations COMTRADE database on international trade. **

For context, Cuba, North Korea, and Belarus are also not tariffed because they are sanctioned instead.

I try to keep a sense of perspective, every president I disagree with seems to be the worst president ever at the time.

I really want to say Bush's useless Trillion dollar wars are worse than this.

But it's close and we have 3.5 more years of this.

Could someone ask Propaganda Barbie about this?

So US imposed tariff on penguins, but 0 on Russia!

Almost the entire world is paralyzed by American tariffs

😂

Well, why should Agent Krasnov put tariffs on the hand that feeds him, good old Vlad? 🤷🏼‍♂️

I was noticing this as well. The place that should have the highest tarrifs.

Guys I think there's some evidence that this is, shall we say, Russia friendly (such as the astronomical tariff rate on Moldova of all places), but Russia isn't included because it's a "Column 2" country alongside Belarus, Cuba, and North Korea, and therefore all subject to the stiff tariffs we already impose on the worst of the worst. Please let's not share things like this which just make us look gullable to the morons on the right supporting this buffoon. It's not a good look.

Should tell you everything you need to know.

That tracks. Prove to me he’s not a Russian asset.

That'll show em! Trump was ANGRY at Russia these few days!
