The dimwitted, uneducated bully opened his ill-advised economic bullying tariffs on allies (25%) and enemies (10%) ... Canada and Mexico promptly retaliated. Pootin must have been delighted. When markets closed on 25-4-3, DUHmented notified an alarmed world of truly idiotic "Liberation Day" tariffs on most countries (except Ruscia). The best interpretation of the typically stupid naming is "liberation from your money". Tuvalu? Turks and Caicos? The orange blob should be in an orange jumpsuit.
