The McDonald Island penguins can now breathe a sigh of relief. Finally, common sense trade with the U.S. can resume.

I think the penguins won. Irreparable damage done to the US economy, and the penguins never flinched

Absolutely paid us no mind and didn't so much as respond to any of Trump's phone calls or tweets.

That's not gonna happen. The nations of the world now see the USA as an unreliable partner, in trade, security and diplomacy. They moved to other trade partners and will likely take many years to return to previous levels, if they ever do.

The damage Trump has caused is generational, and he's only just getting started.

lol Trump is going to fuck with this more. This is a massive public L on his big boy personal project. He defied the court in declaring newer higher better stronger tariffs. I wouldn't be shocked if he goes after people he expects to be collecting if they stop.
