Pleasedo, maybe this way the wine lobby in france is gonna have a bit less money and we'll get some less pesticides.

[–] mrhenry77@lemmy.world 7 points 12 hours ago

While this is ridiculous, could be worse than putting a tariff on alcohol

[–] un_aristocrate@jlai.lu 2 points 9 hours ago

More champagne for us then.

[–] CircaV@lemmy.ca 25 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] CountryBreakfast@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 3 hours ago

Tbf no one cares about any of that

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 7 points 12 hours ago

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.

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 9 points 22 hours ago

How low has america fallen when a bottle of wine (an $8 expense) is a "luxury item most of america can't afford"

[–] Murvel@lemm.ee 6 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] TranslateErr0r@lemmy.world 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Next up: Trump says "Its easy: just produce your French wine in the US to avoid the tariffs"

[–] Zozano@aussie.zone 7 points 1 day ago

"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.

[–] FreeRangeMustard@lemm.ee 28 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Let’s do super random goods. Like 1000% on marshmallows or something.

[–] trollercoaster@sh.itjust.works 42 points 1 day ago (4 children)

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

[–] biofaust@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (3 children)

Let's remind everyone that Trump doesn't drink alcohol, doesn't smoke and eats his steak well done covered in ketchup.

[–] NotLemming@lemm.ee 2 points 21 hours ago (1 children)
[–] biofaust@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] NotLemming@lemm.ee 1 points 7 hours ago

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

[–] Zzyzx@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 day ago (3 children)

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.

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 6 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (1 children)

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

[–] Zzyzx@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 12 hours ago

I would like to visit your cafe

[–] radicalautonomy@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Zzyzx@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 12 hours ago

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".

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 23 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (23 children)

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.

[–] bappity@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

DO IT HAHAHAHAHAHA
