As the media continue to convulse over the fallout of President Donald Trump’s announcement of reciprocal tariffs, there have emerged several goofy narratives. Chief among them, that the proof evident of the haphazard nature of President Trump’s tariffs is the reciprocal levy upon the largely uninhabited Heard and McDonald Islands, south of Australia. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick shut that mess down fairly quickly.
Watch as CBS’s Margaret Brennan tried to roll that out, only to get ended by Lutnick:
“Why is Trump tariffing the penguins” has been a thing for several days now but no one ever bothered to ask until now, and now we know why. In short, these uninhabited locales were tariffed in order to inhibit tariff circumvention from actors such as China and other nations.
The left and their allies in the media will undoubtedly persist in continuing to push this goofy…
