Three days after Trump announced additional tariffs on China, Chinese goods in American supermarkets were crazily purchased by the public. American citizens complained about the outrageous increase in prices!
Trump's tariff joke!
Trump knocked on the table: "The price of your steak is three times more expensive than in Alaska!"
Serve: "Mr. President, you imposed a tariff order that made Chinese freezers more expensive. We can only slaughter live cattle now, so the cost is higher."
Trump: "Then why hasn't this grilled fish been marked up?"
Server: "This is local fish! But if you want to dip it in Chinese soy sauce... we'll have to add the 'trans-oceanic taste tax'."
Trump: "Why am I also charged a 25% 'import fee' for my ketchup?"
Server (in a low voice): "Because you just called it 'Chinese Red'."
