A new meme about Donald Trump is going viral and it might well ring a few bells.
Tariffs
It comes as Trump was speaking about trading partners wanting to negotiate deals with the US in the wake of tariffs, he said China – which has been hit with 104% tariffs – “want to make a deal…they just don’t know how to get it started”.
Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia and Taiwan are among key Asian countries who are hoping to speak with the Trump administration about tariffs, with some facing up to 49% on goods imported to the US.
“I’m telling you these countries are calling us up, kissing my ass,” he told the audience. “They are dying to make a deal.”
Also, China has reacted with shock as the Trump administration called its workers “peasants” and slapped the country with the huge tariff on almost all imports.
JD Vance made the “peasants” remark in an interview on Fox News last week, in which he complained that America “borrow[s] money from Chinese peasants to buy the things those Chinese peasants manufacture”.
Trump Downfall
The Downfall meme, which has been used countless times, has been reworked again.
It has been brought up to date with this take on Donald Trump and his ‘Liberation Day’ tariffs which threaten to usher in a generational global economic downturn.
