It's not illegal if it's not prosecuted. (Republican logic)
PatrickDenStore
Of course they are but it doesn't matter, the Kings will be done and later someone will go "oh, OK". Rinse and fucking repeat.

*Whew* glad they stopped him by pointing out that it is illegal
lightfoot2
It doesn't matter, he will just keep introducing them over and over. There is no consequence for illegal activities anymore.
Because the US has ceased to have a functioning government.
LeifHietala
Oh, we know. Laws don't matter to him.

I read that book a few times when young.
No wonder Im a social communist.
kaneinencanto
That picture is an insult to pigs, to be compared to him.
lonelyrangerofthedreams
After Trump era all the world should require competition like after a war.
TresusIbor
Oh boy, I can't wait for the companies to get a refund for the tariffs that WE had to fucking pay for.
CaptnRisky
With interest.
kaneinencanto
That picture is an insult and not fair to pigs, who are generally friendly and quite sweet when you get to know them. Also, plenty of people like pork products, too...
akafluffy
If he wants to get rid of goods made from forced labour, maybe stop with the prison slave labour? Just a thought.
unluckyandbored
It's not illegal if there are no consequences for doing it.
Frencheeseater
US consumers will pay these... we exporters to the USA don't really care anymore, what really pisses us off is the fucking war in Iran and the world economu fucked up, as if it was ON PURPOSE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

K ... Everyone say it with me ... "he can't do that"

Is anyone else getting redirected to an Amazon book title by this link?

This kind of shit is why I'm not convinced he's a moron. Yeah hanlon's razor and all, but repeatedly doubling down on this... even an idiot learns at some point.
mcoulter876
No shit. But the fact that he's able to do it at all tells you everything you need to know about the government under any president.

GOP plan - abuse the American people so much that they develop Stockholm syndrome
Frozenspokes
Spoiler alert: They are. TLDR, the law he's using is one that aimed at punishing industries proven to use forced labor. Outside of China, our major trading partners are not using forced labor.
Imadethisaccounttopost
No, they are illegal.
Everything Trump does reeks of legality!
Heelcat70
And he still doesn't understand who actually pays.
J3lek
Yeah, everything he does is illegal, but consequences sluff off him like the oily pile of shit he is. The time of consequences was the 4 years after his first term. The one big failure Biden had was not pushing for the speedy trial part of justice. They spent 4 years gathering evidence and testimonials for the obvious treason we all watched live on television on January 6 2021.

The time for consequences was the first 18 years after his mother shat him out her ass.
J3lek
Slough? Probably that word. Lol
Frozenspokes
You have to give some credit to Trump appointed judge Ilean Cannon.
Jimthebutler
Illegal and hypocritical. If he wanted to fight cohearsed labor our food production in the us is rife with it. Undocumented children human trafficking and unwilling or cohearsed labor.
BorkSamson
Who are you, person that downvoted? Grow a fuckin spine and fight me verbally you little bitch! This man speaks facts, and you downvote from the shadows like a little stool hiding in a toilet bowl?
HAVE AT YE. EN GARDE.

Of course they're illegal. But they dgaf. the Shit King will always try to do what pleases him.

My brother who is a dark triad, mainly nars like donald, taught me at 16yo what they think. They will do whatever fucked up shit they think they can get away with. And they will blame you for allowing them to do it. They need to met with strong and enforced boundaries.
Narcissists do not know Respect, they only know admiration of Power, and Fear. They MUST fear repercussions... And Donald fears very little now because of the SCOTUS and media take over by the oligarchs and neo-fascists.
UserNamesArentEasy
And it will take the courts 6 months to strike them down. Enough time for them to make their money off the tariff rebates the govt will give back to the businesses.
do7rkb5n
And then our prices will never go back doen again. So... when are we gona take to the streets to end this? Thats the only thing that will stop this. Clearly our representatives from both sides, for the most part, dont care. We will need to make them care.
MassiveCollisionY
Exactly this, they figured out the grift, so now they're gonna keep siphoning money while they setup the next
W0lfsbl00d
There's already hundreds going on actively. Grifts by Donald's crime family is involved in, his oligarch buddies, his elected magat sycophants, his staff even...
cousteau
I like the subtle and barely noticeable edit on his mug, but may I request entirely covering his face with a pig head next time? I'm tired of seeing his face everywhere.
Sparkmateriality
Get me a picture of a really ugly pig face. Mutant pig?
cousteau
Nah, a happy pig will do. There's gonna be enough horrible stuff in whatever he said; no need to make the photo itself unpleasant. If I wanted a horrible and disgusting photo, I'd ask for the unedited one.
cousteau
Or a dick. Y'all could photoshop a dick.
Hexidimentional
you're telling me, the 50% tariff imposed on canada because a football player was nicer to mark carney instead of donald trump is illegal? SHOCKED.
salanJokeBandit
I tell you shocked
BrdCdn
Still fuck out economy over and introduced more uncertainty. Tired of seeing Americans complain that it's illegal as if that fucking matters anymore.
Lovingimpaler
100%! The Smoot-Hawley tariff act of 1930 is why the US spent 10 years in the Great Depression, and that's a broad economist consensis. He knows that, and strangely, he knows that Hitler (who he admires) consolidated power in Germany during said depression.
Hexidimentional
preaching to the choir, i live in a city with a GM plant, used to be the city's biggest employer but then 2017 happened and our city went to total shit
Roqinn
And here i thought he imposed them because of the smoke from Canada's wild fire smoke!
Hexidimentional
getting mad at a burn victim for smelling like bbq is very on brand for trump
7qd26tttv7
Unless the burn victim is six months old and medium rare. Then he'd eat it.
