Tariffs

And, other countries, don't reduce the tariffs on America until he brings China's back down. And tell China to gimme the specs on the artificial sun.

Hym "Don't buy this bullshit 90 day pause on the tariffs. Leave the tariffs on America until he pays the creator of AI."

Tariff-wanking

When Trump rolls out his shiny new 10% tariffs, then threatens 25% tariffs like he’s upping the ante at a poker table where everyone already knows he’s bluffing

Cool. While you’re busy tariff-wanking, we’ll just lock in one of the biggest free trade zones on Earth with South America.

Tariffism

The strategic use of economic fear, threats, and surprise import taxes by a government to coerce compliance, punish dissent, or protect fragile national egos—often under the guise of patriotism, fairness, or “leveling the playing field.” Unlike terrorism, which weaponizes explosives, tariffism weaponizes spreadsheets and supply chains, inflicting psychological and financial trauma on domestic populations while claiming to target foreign bad guys.

Compare:

Terrorism: instills fear through violence

Tariffism: instills fear through rising prices and economic whiplash

Note:
Practitioners of tariffism are often immune to consequences due to their immunity from basic economics and their ability to print more money or blame foreigners.

When the administration slapped a 400% tariff on toothbrushes from Luxembourg, citizens began stockpiling dental floss in terror—a textbook case of tariffism.
