It’s Donald Trump’s big tariffs day, as the American president basically sent the entire world spinning into recession in the style of an ’80s TV gameshow host.

And quite the watch it is too.

BREAKING: This is Horrific!

Trump just announced the following Tariffs for the following countries and a 10% baseline tariff on all others not listed.

China – 34%
EU – 20%
Vietnam – 46%
Japan – 24%
Taiwan – 32$
India – 26%
Thailand – 36%
South Korea – 25%
Switzerland – 31%… pic.twitter.com/v8FySoDJeO

Listen, you liberal lame stream media radicals! Trump has more mental faculties than any president in history.

He was leaving the stage sarcastically. This was sarcasm. https://t.co/cJeJTZNRde

Calling him stupid may be a compliment at this point.
