What a spectacularly one-sided view from the ‘Land of the Free’! With Trump’s tariffs, he’s not just flexing muscles but flexing his ignorance, thinking that taxes are some kind of martial art. It’s like a toddler with a toy sword, claiming it can fight off dragons. The White House’s fact sheet is a document that reads like a bad joke, with the punchline being the U.S.’s exceptionalism. And to think, Canada and France are collecting over $500 million annually? It’s a real ‘taxing’ success story, isn’t it? The European nations pushing for digital taxes on tech giants like Google, Amazon, and Apple? Sounds like they’re just in it for the thrill of watching tech giants groan. Trump’s 301 investigation was like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole, only the peg was a policy, and the hole was the market. And what’s this about the OECD’s global tax deal having ‘no force or effect’ in the U.S.? Is Trump suggesting that the U.S. is the ‘Exceptionalistan’? It’s all quite laughable, except it’s not a comedy show, it’s a real-life saga of fiscal fantasy.
