Great job Trump, you just implemented a 25% tax on coffee as your first misuse of tariffs. I’m sure Americans will love you for that #uspol

@bascule I’m glad I don’t drink the stuff
@bascule Where does coffee sit now on the coffee/eggs/outrage index?
@bascule Dammmit, I gotta have my coffee. That's the last straw.
@bascule
wait, does it mean that coffee is cheaper for others like canadians and europeans. i may like these tariffs. coffee prices are going from a roof at the moment.
@bascule Coffee drinkers are well known to be patient and understanding when you mess with their coffee.
@bascule ....wise countries, of course they need to have strong leadership & a somewhat robust economy, just push back on these idiocies of trump...Mexico, Columbia & hoping EU & Canada find their footing to do so as well. Americans enjoy a super wide range of products, foods especially, but all manner of goods, from around the world....wine, cheese, etc etc....clap back of trumpy tariffs by other countries imposing their own export tariffs will hit prices quickly...a kick to the trumpy bollocks
@bascule wasn’t this one of the reasons the Revolutionary War started?
@bascule Now hearing it was another performance drama?
@bascule This is a good place to support, for people in the US who want to stock up. Fair trade. https://shop.equalexchange.coop/
@bascule you know what to do now. Buy as much coffee as you can to push prices even further.
