President Donald Trump on Thursday announced a new round of punishing tariffs, saying the United States will impose a 100% tariff on imported branded drugs, 25% tariff on imports of all heavy-duty trucks and 50% tariffs on kitchen cabinets.

Trump also said he would start charging a 30% tariff on upholstered furniture next week.

    Whee, another round of tariff roulette!

    Even a pinko like me understands that everchanging random rules ain’t good for business.

      Yeah, but if you sell all those businesses before they find out that they’re in trouble then it’s good for you? I don’t know much about business, but I’m fairly sure this is the way it works.
