10 Major Effects of Trump’s Tariffs

“The Galactic Trade Federation might send an army of battle droids to Earth.”

According to economists, Trump’s tariffs are currently running the global economy into the ground.

To help you prepare, The Babylon Bee has found the 10 most devastating effects of Trump’s tariffs. Take a look at the madness.


  1. Millions of people now have to pretend to know what a tariff is: It’s a crime against humanity.

  2. Europeans are saying mean things about the US: And they’re being even more mean than usual this time.

  3. Dementors from Azkaban will be unleashed on the floor of the NY Stock Exchange to crash the market: World trade could come to a screeching halt if we don’t stop this from happening.

  4. Econ majors will get to feel important for a few minutes: This is a travesty and should never have happened.

  5. The nonfunctional nose-hair-trimmer/phone charger you ordered from Wish is now $2 more expensive: How could Trump do this?

  6. Millions of Chinese slaves might lose their jobs: Terrible.

  7. Between 11 and 14 billion deaths: And that’s a conservative estimate.

  8. The cost of bananas will skyrocket to $0.59 per pound: Banana bread will join calamari and Tokay as a status symbol of the rich and prosperous.

  9. The Galactic Trade Federation might send an army of battle droids to Earth: And we don’t even have any Jedi negotiators available.

  10. Trump’s approval rating might go down: Noooooooooo!


  11. Has the economy ever been worse than this? No. No, it has not. The tariffs have doomed us all.

    From our friends at The Babylon Bee.
