Trump slapped a tariff on products coming from the Heard and McDonald islands. What a joke.

Great! MAGA must be thrilled about it. We have been very unfairly treated by them for decades. 10% tariff on them! Woohoo! Except um those are 2 Antarctic islands under Australian supervision that literally have no human residents or businesses. Ya know what they DO have? Penguins, seals, and seabirds. They don't import anything nor do we export anything to them. Did one of those 20-something gaming DOGE bros just go through a Wikipedia list of countries and territories and randomly include them into the tariff schedule? That would be slightly more acceptable than if actual career members of the government included them. Frankly at this point I'm surprised they didn't decide to tariff the International Space Station and the moon. What an embarrassment for the USA. And it has only been 3 months. Darwin help us.
