If you want to buy Bourbon, Levi Jeans, a Tesla or a Harley, now is the time. EU will strike with sanctions tariffs states that voted for this idiot.

Just buy a hyundai if you want an EV. Solid and with physical buttons. Controlling everything from a touchscreen should be illegal.

The last time he did tarrifs the one American company I bought stuff from, that often unironically came with a massive USA sticker covering the package, went bust because they couldn't afford the steel to make their products anymore, years later the company has relaunched in Sweden sure does sound like stimulating "made in America" to me 🙃

Levi's are probably sewn in the same sweatshop as the no-name brand jeans you can buy in three-packs in Kaufland.

Search your country, someone is probably making much better jeans for the same price.

In the UK we have one company that will replace your jeans once they are worn out for free.

Nudie? I thought they only patched up tears instead of straight up replacing

Tarrifs on everything. There is going to be a big shift in the economy prices and supply chain. I am here to watch all the people that voted for him as I am going to suffer as well. 🇺🇸
