Trump announces another 90-day pause on China tariffs
(www.theguardian.com)
He bobs his head like a chicken too, and then of course there's the aspirational rooster hairstyle.
Fucking TACO. Pathetic...
Taco taco taco taco
🌮
All these TACO memes are wearing pretty thin. Trump has instituted a minimum of 10% tariffs on all trading partners, with scant prospect of them ever lowering in the future even after his presidency (once tariffs go up, it's very hard to bring them down because of the special interests that come to depend on them). He has strongarmed the EU, Japan, and other countries into accepting these permanently elevated tariff levels without retaliation. Only 3 countries have shown any sort of backbone against this: China, Canada, and Brazil (maybe India, but it's too soon to say). In all the other cases, Trump ain't the one chickening out, it's the other side that abjectly folded.
(It doesn't matter, by the way, if the Europeans intend to slow walk the investments and weapon purchases they promised to Trump, or whatever. That's copium. The point is that they bent to Trump's will, and once you cave to a bully, he'll be back for more.)
Tariffs have been cut in the past. Nothing Trump does or can do, short of killing or maiming people, is permanent.
Why would countries retaliate against a sales tax on Americans?
Lesson not to vote right wingers Into EU parliament less chance accepting anything from this imbred redneck other is to remember he won't respect his own deals.
ai slop
Draw one
I hate that I like the third pic with the colourful bird suit.
What day is it, Swann?
It's not even Tuesday in the US yet, why do I smell TACO?
Since the last US election ...... everyday is Taco Tuesday
Sorry, out of the loop with a lot of this US political stuff, but what is this memery around Tacos?
It's an acronym for "Trump Always Chickens Out".
Trump always chickens out.
TACO = Trump Always Chickens Out.
Thanks yall. That's pretty funny that he's developed that nickname hahaha
Think I might make a trip to Taco Bell.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
