everyone gets tariffs period its tariffs that is = or less than the tariff on the usa so if penguin has 0 tarrif on the USA then the USA would give a tariff of 0% if a country says ok 20% then the usa would tariff 15 to 20% that's only fair its like somebody coming to your flee market and demanding you pay them for the right to use your flee market

  1. The island has zero huamns, there are no exports of any kind, nor any imports. From or to anyone.

  2. Australia had 0% tariffs with USA (under the Aus-USA Free Trade Agreement) but still got hit with a 10% tariff, again the tariff rate was and still is 0%, but we still got 10%.

It's straight forward hitting everyone with a tariff, except his master Putin and Putin's boyfriend Kim.

Trying to read whatever the hell you tried to write here was as difficult as reading stream of consciousness shit from Joice. I have no idea what you are even trying to say. Perhaps use periods and commas and capital letters??

Except that is not the strategy at all. They actually used a formula that has nothing to do with the countries tariffs, only with how much they import/export from/to the USA. Why else would they put a tariff on an uninhabited island? The penguins surely had a 0% tariff policy with the USA, which according to your logic would mean, that they would get a 0% tariff as per trumps policy. Instead, all tariffs are at least 10%, because if you actually applied the formula to all countries, some would end up with negative tariffs! I strongly recommend this video by Stand-up Maths to understand how the numbers are actually calculated.
