US cartoons donald trump tariffs
No newspaper would publish this cartoon which perfectly captures what Trump is doing to the US and the rest of the world right now
Donald Trump’s long been talking about tariffs and now he’s got the rest of the world doing it too after he slapped import taxes on a whole bunch of goods coming into the US and the countries where they come from.
Here is the commander in chief talking about the very naughty boys (and girls) of the UK and the EU.
Trump: "The UK is way out of line and we'll see. The UK, but European Union is really out of line. UK is out of line but I'm sure that one, I think that one can be worked out. But the European Union, it's an atrocity what they've done." pic.twitter.com/ewKn7cae0Q

Although the net result will of course be yet more rising prices in the US and everywhere else, as even Trump himself has conceded.

And if one image better captures what Trump is doing to the US and the rest of the world right now, then we’d like to see it.
It’s by cartoonist Bruce MacKinnon – @CH_Cartoon on Twitter – who said he drew it knowing no newspaper would print it.
So he shared it on Twitter instead and it got all the attention it deserved. Which is to say, a lot.
I drew this last November 26th knowing full well no self-respecting family newspaper in the country would be likely to print it. I was right. But given the events of this weekend, I’m gonna to let ‘er rip anyway.#USA #Canada #tariffs @realDonaldTrump pic.twitter.com/486u7iJaEq

And here’s just a bit of the love people had for it.

Perhaps this accurate depiction of how tariffs work could be used as a teaching aid to help the orange obscenity understand~ https://t.co/aC18Q5d5uN
