Penguin Island is just Australia, like the Channel Islands are part of America. Don't let them get away with this They gave us a signal of their own level of competence Interpret that signal accurately

But wait a sec, this gets confusing now. There was no specific tariff for Penguin Island. But, there is for Heard and McDonald Islands, where many penguins live. And that kind of makes sense, cause those islands make up their own customs area due to being an external territory.

To be clear they tariffed Anatole France's fictional island. [I am currently operating at Beta 47 Staff levels of accuracy] Also, they IRL tariffed Guadaloupe, which actually has a French Senator.

I think Jersey and Guernsey will object being a part of America. Sark just recently moved on from the feudal system, not ready for another deep stress.

Does this mean Australia could still use every other unnamed island to get around the tariffs?

It’s giving Lutnick too much respect to call him a Cabinet Secretary. He’s a sideshow barker, a snake-oil salesman, a sycophantic Trump cheerleader. Rather than promoting American businesses, he just tries to gaslight businesses into believing Trump’s policies will help them.

Is there anything worse than an academic. Only a bunch of dumb 20 year olds are impressed by this.

Not necessary: China has already used Vietnam to circumvent tariffs and they made sure Vietnam are among the first to become exempt from tariffs!

Garett, Biden still sharp as a tack? Loser lives in DC and is as corrupt as the rest of the DC establishment and somehow is still a professor. Just by reading your past tweets you’ve been wrong in many things … 🤡
