If you tariff one country, terrific. You have leverage. If you tariff every country, terrible. You're the one paying demurrage at your own ports, while the rest of the world moves on. Abu Donald (our man inside) has done what the world should have done long ago, unionize against America, and make blood-sucking American importers eat the difference. That's all Trump's tariffs do, as you can see from the coverage inside my country, Sri Lanka.

There's been a sea change in local coverage since when tariffs were first announced in April. Tariffs are still bad for us, but they're bad for everyone, and nobody talks in absolutes anymore. It's all relative. Thus the Central Bank Governor now says, “This shift enhances our relative competitiveness,” and the Chamber of Commerce talks about ‘regional competitors’ and ‘regional peers.’ Sri Lanka isn't even talking about America anymore. We're talking about Vietnam and Bangladesh. Trump tried to move the world, but the world has moved on.

The New Trading House

Trump burnt down the old trading house and erected a new one, with no ceiling and a high floor. Trump has raised the floor on trade with America by at least 20%, the minimum tariff (Vietnam) announced so far. Americans importers are going to pay that, because where else would they go? They have no negotiating power because everyone is tariffed at least that much.

Trump has also tried to set a ceiling, a price at which companies will exit foreign trade entirely and make in America. But America is so inflated and uncompetitive (especially given tariffed imports) that this ceiling might as well be on the moon. As an example, a Sri Lankan will stitch underwear for $300 a month. You'd need 1,000% tariffs to make American workers competitive, even if they were competent, which they aren't.

The Sri Lankan View

I don't know if Americans can see this new reality, but in Sri Lanka it's obvious. America's having a fit, but they still need underwear. The only question is where they'll get it. Hence the question is our relative tariff, not the absolute amount. Our comprador class was freaking out about 44% tariffs in April, but now they're just talking about the difference with other countries.

As Sri Lanka's Central Bank Governor Dr. Nandalal Weerasinghe said, “While we faced a 44% tariff, several of our competitors enjoyed significantly lower rates. Now, with the revised 30% rate, we find ourselves in a more favorable position relative to countries like Laos, Myanmar, Cambodia, Thailand, Bangladesh, Serbia, and Indonesia, which still face tariffs ranging from 31% to 40%.”

Numbers.lk (I don't recommend any of these people) reported the news as,

• Down from the proposed 44%
• Bangladesh 35% - SL's top competitor in the apparel market (apparel - SL’s largest export to US)
• Now holds a 5% edge

Again, these are comprador sources, quick to cuck for foreign capitalists, but even their comments are a sea change from just months before. In April it was all, ‘Yes Massa, how can we whip ourselves faster?’ but now we're looking at the other slaves and comparing wages amongst ourselves. Americans are going to pay 20-30% more by default, and we'll compete for the 5-10% on top. Trump has effectively unionized every exporter in the world against American importers. It's one of the most spectacular self-owns in economic history. If you tariff one person, more power to you. But it you tariff everyone, more power to us.

Now exporters are all in the same boat, while the American importer is the one stuck at the port. All the importer can do is send an email saying, “please eat the difference,” but every exporter can safely say, “eat my shorts.” We might move a bit relative to our competitors, but that's it. We have the power most dreaded by buyers, to say, where else are you gonna go? Are Americans going to stitch their own underwear now?

Reshoring For Retards

Trump has set the new floor for global trade at 20-30%, and American importers (and consumers) are going to be buried under it. And the rest of the world will slowly but surely move on. I can already see it happening in my own country. Not out of any surfeit of courage, but because of forfeit by morons.

Trump misspelled our president's name in his letter, and the spelling is all over the place. In the copy-pasted letter he said, “There will be no Tariff in Sri Lanka, or companies within your Country, decide to build or manufacture product within the United States.” So there'll be no tariffs on Sri Lanka if we don't make anything in Sri Lanka, great. But does Trump have any idea what Sri Lanka makes? Like the brown guy told Larry King when asked about luxury goods, “Larry, I'm on DuckTales.”

Sri Lanka makes underwear. Our girls make Victoria's Secret for $300 a month over here so Lex Wexner (Epstein's main client) can rape girls over there. While $300 a month is survivable here (I make $2,000 in a good month), it's a complete non-starter in America. America would have to tariff Sri Lanka 1,500% to compete even if they had the competence, which they do not. But Americans still need jungies, so they're just going to eat the tariff at the port, raise prices at the mall, and their own inflation overall. Of course we'll take volume hits and we'll suffer, but Trump is really tearing the band-aid off. The world will adapt around America and move on.

That's all that's happening here and I, for one, am here for it. Death to the abomination, and more suicidal power to our man destroying it from inside, Abu Donald. America is a nation openly run by rapists killing children abroad; if there was ever a case for a global embargo, it is now. All countries in the world should be sanctioning America, for the genocide of Gaza alone and for its predation in general, and Trump is doing it for us. With tariffs paid at American ports, America is sanctioning itself, mashallah.

Again, I point you to the Wexner example; he was Epstein's only real money-management client, and God knows what horrendous crimes he was getting away with. Epstein was killed to protect powerful people like him and Trump, and this is a bipartisan evil (see Bill Clinton and Bill Gates also). This is what my people's wage slavery is chained to; this is a wicked system that should not be participated in at all. A 30% tariff is the least we can charge these people, we should really withhold our labor totally.

However, Abu Donald has taken a measured approach, slowly destroying the White Empire from the inside by being transparently evil and opaquely dumb. Just as America is embroiled in 2.5 land wars in Asia, they are also starting a trade war against the whole world. You couldn't plan a better attack against white power—blow your arms in multiple wars, your dollars in multiple trade wars, and your brains out, alone, in a corner. Now the final incarnation of White Empire is lurching towards a fate far worse than being hated. Trump's tariffs are simply being ignored.
