While this is ridiculous, could be worse than putting a tariff on alcohol
More champagne for us then.
Orange Shittler says “it’s time to buy US champagne” like the fucking sundowning syphilitc he is. There is no such thing as US champagne. Champagne only comes from the Champagne region of France.
Tbf no one cares about any of that
In the US, it's either wine pop or wine cola, depending on the region.
What a fantastic time to not be American. Actually it's always a fantastic time to not be American.
Putting tariffs on luxury goods that most of us can't afford is probably the least bad thing Trump's done so far.
How low has america fallen when a bottle of wine (an $8 expense) is a "luxury item most of america can't afford"
You cannot afford a bottle of wine?

Send it to Canada. We have extra shelf space since US booze was removed.
Let's drink to that. Cheers!
Now the rich and middle classes will overthrow him.
Next up: Trump says "Its easy: just produce your French wine in the US to avoid the tariffs"
"Produce a regional wine which can no longer be named by its region, but has to be called 'sparkling' instead - in the us"
The EU should increase the tariff on bourbon to 800%, would be funny.
Let’s do super random goods. Like 1000% on marshmallows or something.
The EU is doing something infinitely better than placing tariffs on random goods, a strategy already used when that orange turd was US president the last time. They are very specifically targeting products of US states that voted for him and his party where the impact on the EU economy is minimal.
No surprise he is foaming at the mouth over that, I guess those in his inner circle who do have more brains than him (Is it true that all orange presidents have to share the single brain cell with all the orange cats, by the way?) did already complain about the bad EU ruining their business.

Hooray! Looks like I can start to sell my wine cellar for a big profit and make a tiny dent in my 401(k) loss
Let's remind everyone that Trump doesn't drink alcohol, doesn't smoke and eats his steak well done covered in ketchup.
MacDonald's sell steak?
Did he say he only eats at McD? I must say that, for as long as I visited the US, their steaks, cooked medium-rare, where the main reason to endure the travel and the people there.
Too bad you're adding to the plastic in your brain with every meat consumption. Idk about 'only' but he looks like he's made of McD trash and he eats it everyday apparently.

Can't make Champagne in the USA, one thing us Europeans won't stand for is calling a food something if it wasn't made in the right region. Brought to by Big Hallomi
I mean, I'm going to guess that if this administration wants to do something, then international laws about place of origin don't matter anymore either.
Excellent then... if USA won't respect intl rules, I would finally be able to open my Spider-man vs Darth Vader themed cafe and pay nothing to Disney for it
I would like to visit your cafe
Just commenting to say that Zzyzx is the password I use to lock the diagnostic math test we use at the middle school where I teach. I still remember passing by that road sign on the way to Vegas from LA and doing a triple take.
The word and the place is a fun bit of trivia!

By new executive order, Champaign will now be known as "Trump's Freedom Juice".
Loooool have fun with your shitty wine. Besides you can't even have your own champagne as it's location trademarked.

For whatever tariff he adds, we should compensate by a long term « positive » deal with our Canada ally.
DO IT HAHAHAHAHAHA
