    Only when you pirate over $1 trillion in a calendar year, so we’re fine. Facebook, maybe not so much…

    Just off the top of my head:

    1. Pressuring the Fed to cut interest rates and other actions to reduce the US dollar’s value
    2. Massive payouts to agribusiness, especially maize and sugar producers.
    3. Try bringing in some fruit or a salami into the US. I dare you.
    4. OpenAI, Meta, Anthropic, xAI etc ripping off the entire world’s entire content.

    Maybe someone else can fill in the rest.

      (2) The US has sales tax which is VAT in a trenchcoat.

      (3) The US dumps its corn below cost and saturates foreign markets due to massive corn subsidies.

      (6) Try buying a toilet that uses more than 1.6 gallons per flush in the US. Oh wait, you can’t, it’s banned.

      (8) US companies have transshipped Chinese goods ever since Trump’s 2018 trade war

    The fuck is “non-tariff cheating” supposed to mean?

        Nobody knows what it is, folks. People are asking, “What is it?”—nobody knows. Experts, politicians, the fake news—nobody has a clue. Maybe it’s something, maybe it’s nothing. Could be the biggest thing ever, could be nothing at all. Nobody knows, believe me. Total mystery.

        I mean wouldn’t it just be “ways to cheat tarrifs”

        Like I guess they don’t want to promote that but they could just say “ways to cheat tarrifs we will punish” to try to sound hard.

        But this phrase just makes no sense.

      I believe he’s trying to say “here’s other examples of CHEATING other countries do to us that are unrelated to tariffs”. Who knows.

      Don’t know but it’s extremely obvious that some of his posts are ghost-written (just like his book) and this is one of them.

    How dare other companies cheat by having more stringent food standards than the USA? Everyone should be forced to buy and ingest real American salmonella.

      I am still annoyed that we let the damn Argentinian beef get through, but I think it’s comparatively hilarious that we still won’t budge on US “food”.

    When they say ‘piracy’ does he think they are referring to Captain Jack Sparrow?

    When Trump says piracy, I understand he’s referring to classic piracy (with little boats and all), and when he says IP Theft, I assume he’s referring to the piracy that concerns us. Good luck adding a tax to my $0 rate.

    my concern over IP Theft goes from the ground up, can’t help it. I’ll worry about what corps think they’re missing out on right after I’ve acknowledged each and every person who has ever written anything on the internet, or shared an original work in any way. the damage done by tech bros pillaging the collective imagination is way higher than $1T

      Trump has claimed a few times that, in order for cars to be approved for import in Japan, they must be able to withstand an impact from a bowling ball without denting. It’s not a real thing. When the White House press secretary was asked why Trump made up such a weird lie, she said it was “obviously a joke”.

        Reminds me of the mind-blowing video from Channel 5 news of them interviewing Trump supporters about him posting a pic of himself as king and they say “Oh it means he’s the King of Presidents, like Elvis Presley is the King of rock and roll” and I just couldn’t possibly facepalm any harder.

        Its ironic to be complaining (or rather bullshitting) about japan restricting vehicle imports while the US is restricting imports of kei trucks for reasons.
