In a sign Trump has lost the plot, the president has included the now defunct Hutt River Province in his long list of nations & territories that will be affected by his tariffs.
Insiders at the White House told The Times that several advisors tried to tell the rapid orange economic vandal that the micronation no longer existed. A source told The Times,
“He kept rambling about Hutt River wheat and how the threat to the American domestic wheat market kept him up at night. He said in no uncertain terms that Hutt River Province was a tariff priority”
While his advisors urged the President to not make a personal comment on the decision he couldn’t help himself. Phoning The Times at 3 am his time in a Ritalin fuelled rampage, telling us,
“I know all the kings. People always tell me, Mr Trump you know all the kings, I’m like them, we are winners, I don’t deal with Princes. Why didn’t this Prince Leo ever invite me during my first Presidency? Hutt River is not getting any special treatment”
While The Hutt River Province will avoid any negative impacts of the tariffs, on account of not existing, the same can’t be said for McDonald island’s penguins who are preparing to send a message to the USA.
Crazy times indeed.
