 📱🛢️💸Trump fires off another international grenade on social media, oil markets panic, and—surprise!—you’re the one footing the bill.

💥 Diplomacy by Dumpster Fire: Now With a 25% Tariff!

Who needs legal frameworks or diplomatic finesse when you have a Twitter account and zero impulse control? President Trump has decided that any country daring to buy Iranian oil will now be slapped with a 25% tariff on U.S. trade. Effective immediately, of course—because what could possibly go wrong with unilateral sanctions tossed into the geopolitical blender without an instruction manual?

Brent crude prices shot up like a Red Bull-chugging geyser, and traders are now adding what they call a “geopolitical risk premium,” which is economist-speak for “Trump’s on a roll again, better raise prices.”

China’s already sharpening its rhetorical swords, and countries like India and Turkey are looking around like, “Are we seriously doing this again?” Meanwhile, Russia’s probably mixing popcorn with vodka for the show.

Behind the curtain, actual humans may want to start biking to work. Because as oil prices creep up, that “quick drive” to the store will soon cost more than your groceries.

Just in case you thought this whole thing was about energy security or principled diplomacy—nope. It’s just Tuesday in The Art of the Trade War™️.
