Maybe seals and cows too (to be confirmed)...
I for one can't wait to see what reciprocal measure the penguins will take. Crapping all other the rose garden? It might take a while as penguins don't fly so they will have to go all the way to Washington swimming. Also, my advice to penguins: have a proper visa and papers in order or you will be refused entry, maybe even detained. Also as a French scientist recently discovered, criticizing Trump's oh so brilliant ideas is akin to terrorism according to some unnamed ICE agent.
I'm standing with you my freezing bird friends! Down with the foreign tyrant who perturbed your nap with his sucking tariffs (which in the end are just taxes, doesn't that sound familiar to some?)! Long live Freedom! France can send you a ship if you want (to make the travel quicker) and a translator to facilitate negotiations, or deliver your official declaration of war. I don't know if we have anyone speaking penguin but we'll make do... Anyway, Trump is a simple mind, words are not really needed. Drawings with a lot of colors are enough...
Also dear Donald, you might want to check your dictionary. "Reciprocal" only applies when you are attacked first without provocation. You don't get to reciprocate when you were the one to launch the first strike. You just "escalate" in this case. Don't make yourself a victim, that doesn't suit your oh so inspired imperial aims. Plus you hate victims, you only like winners so WTF?
And how much money America lost to penguins anyway? We want details!
Seriously though, it's another cross in the long list that shows how deteriorated the collective brain of the Trump administration is. They don't even check anymore, they just do, and too bad if that makes no sense.
Also, you know what countries are exempt from tariffs? Putin's Russia, Belarus and North Korea... Isn't that interesting? At the same time Ukraine was slapped with a 10% tariff. If that's not a sign of where Trump is going, I don't know what is. But China got a tariff too (apparently Xi Jinping is not dictatorial enough, he must do better to be acknowledged as a member of Trump's exclusive club, maybe invading Taiwan?).
