Oh, you didn't like my new 10% global tariff? Well, FU - it's now 15%. Take that you woke libtards!

Trump's 10% tariff - designed to replace levies struck down by the Supreme Court - lasted less than a day. He's pushing it to 15%.Donald J. Trump - @realDonaldTrump
Based on a thorough, detailed, and complete review of the ridiculous, poorly written, and extraordinarily anti-American decision on Tariffs issued yesterday, after MANY months of contemplation, by the United States Supreme Court, please let this statement serve to represent that I, as President of the United States of America, will be, effective immediately, raising the 10% Worldwide Tariff on Countries, many of which have been "ripping" the U.S. off for decades, without retribution (until I came along!), to the fully allowed, and legally tested, 15% level. During the next short number of months, the Trump Administration will determine and issue the new and legally permissible Tariffs, which will continue our extraordinarily successful process of Making America Great Again - GREATER THAN EVER BEFORE!!! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMPhttps://bsky.app/profile/angrystaffer.bsky.social/...

I think it was the Beeb, last night, reporting on his reaction to the court decision, and saying "no-one has ever said NO to him before".
Duck and cover kids. Baby Trump is having a tantrum.

So, Trump said the new global 15% tariff was on top of any existing tariffs.
But aren't all the tariffs imposed under IEPPA now null and void? And does that include tariff decreases and well as increases?

Trump is truly an immature little brat and a narcissist with delusions of grandeur.

God and Savior Trump's "liberation day" tariffs were based on IEPPA as well. "Liberation day" imposed a 10% tariff on Brazilian goods, for instance. Trump the God was butt-hurt over his buddy Bolsonaro being tried, convicted, and imprisoned for trying to overthrow the government, when he lost the election to Lula, so God on Earth Trump imposed an additional 40%, on top of the 10% baseline. Without IEPPA, the tariffs on Brazilian good were low, apparently on the order of 2.5%. So now, the tariff on Brazilian goods is 15%, or, 15% + the preexisting 2.5%.
An acquaintance of mine has a collection of several...let's say eccentric, European cars. He sources parts from Europe. The USian tariff situation is such a mess, that shippers in Europe won't ship to the US. The packages may go through the US, from port of entry, but he uses a mail drop in Ontario as the ship-to. Then he drives over to Ontario, and picks up his parts. I have teased him about having a business opportunity: buying a cigarette boat, and smuggling auto parts across Lake St Claire, for all the other people he knows, who drive eccentric cars.

I posted a video a while back, from an Australian EV proponent, weighing in on Trump's push to block the opening of the new bridge between Detroit and Windsor. He said things like "petulant child" and "f-ing moron". Well, he's an Aussie. Maybe he is beyond the reach of the storm troopers.

Assuming that's how it will work, some countries will see a lower tariff going forward, and some more. But since the %15 tariff is on ALL countries, perhaps the net change in total tariff "income" will be negligible as Trump was implying.
