PALM BEACH, FL — President-elect Donald Trump officially announced that he plans to impose a 25% tariff on all imports from California into the United States.
While California Governor Gavin Newsom had publicly vowed to resist any attempts by Trump's administration to force policies promoting freedom on residents of the state, he warned that Trump's tariff could cripple California's already debt-ridden economy.
"Trump, who promised to be a dictator on day one, is going to impose these tariffs as a way to punish the People's Republic of California," Newsom said. "We won't stand for it. I've already contacted my good friend Xi Jinping and he's going to send Trump a strongly worded letter."
Trump imposed the tariffs in response to looming trade disputes with California. The Golden State exports most of the United States's avocado oil, tofu turkey burgers, red wine, organic bamboo salt water crackers, and paper clips. Despite the U.S. demand for such goods, Trump pledged to stand firm.
"American products for American patriots!" Trump said in a post to his Truth Social account. "We will not allow the majority of the products we consume here in the United States to be produced over there in that communist hell hole. We also urge the brave people of California to stand up against their oppressive regime and fight for freedom."
At publishing time, Trump had also announced that he would impose tariffs on Canada, but only for maple syrup because no one really cares about anything else coming out of Canada.
LOL! The Bee stings again
Tariff’s on Fruits and Nuts?
Good One !
Newsom already runs the place like some far-flung colonial outpost.
The next step is breaking off diplomatic relations and shelling the coastal cities.
And yes, I realize it’s the Bee.
We should offer a path to citizenship to those poor people.
“Crappy Woke Movies especially, we don’t need them.”
A federal entertainment tax on every ticket to a movie, play, pro-sporting event, and music concert.
You make me glad I purchased my ticket already to see this young lady. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2py2PdG6dc
Simply wonderful. Bee is Best.
It is so much more fun without the satire tag!
Well, there are all those Hallmark movies shot in Canada, but few care about them too.
As usual, the Bee crosses over in to Almost Reality.
The implication is that California is now a foreign country.
That’s correct. It is.
It should lose its Statehood and revert to being a territory with a federally appointed governor. There should be no Congressional representation, and certainly no Senators.
Avocados- I’m fine if I never see another one
Will he give Victor David Hanson refugee status and a rescue chopper to extract him?
Scratch the satire. Send this to his new Chief of Staff his trade commissioner or whoever takes in proposals and get this on his desk ASAP. lol
To Brazil.
While you are at it, please close the border.
He still thinks he is Count Metternick:

He needs to get on his yacht with Greta Thunberg and sail around the world spreading the message.
