Ooh, another tariff? I bet everyone is sooooo scared, what with all the other tariffs that he's been so firm on and not flip-floppy at all...
Fucking make it a billion percent you orange moron, that'll make it even scarier!

I know the whole thing is stupid, but he specifically said that this will be great for the American champagne business...
- lol ... the industry we all wanted and needed. how fucking out of touch is this motherfucker? Americans need jobs, sure. let's all make sparkling wine.
- I'm not really knowledgeable here, but isn't Champagner a reserved brand specifically for sparkling wine from the Champagne?
  Is it even legal to promote American sparkling wine as Champagner?
  
  Exactly, that's why the statement was stupid. It would be the same as saying that tariffs on the US would benefit the EU colorado lamb market. Complete nonsense.

200, 200, do I hear 250?
250, 250, do I hear 3??
300....do I hear 4? 4? 400?
.....

Time to get wasted (only on EU products of course)
