The prop-comic duo, Venal and Vindictive, also known as Messrs Arbitrary and Capricious, have so far demonstrated in the first 75 days that their rando trade policies will diminish the US economy in order to promote ruling class profits.

In a pastiche of bean-counting, the use of A.I. and LLMs with little attention to reading, the tariffs list generated not only a list of isolated island nations including penguins. Also, oligarchs might achieve some of their greater fantasies such as the ability to acquire personal islands from tariff war shakedowns.

The tiny island of St Pierre et Miquelon got a 99% tariff because somebody bought 3.4 million worth of goods in July 2024 (most likely crustaceans) The 5,8 k inhabitants "only" bought 100k worth of US goods in 2024
