---六親不認的Old Donald: Mother Columbia & Mother Formosa親姊妹明算帳


1

拿著關稅大刀砍人 [砍敵人, 也砍朋友] 的老川已公佈了他的Reciprocal Tariff Policy. 既然是Reciprocal Tariff Policy [老川說: “They do it to us, we do it to them.”], 那被他砍得唉唉叫的國家, 也都只能反躬自省, 不能怨老川. 大家都要捫心自問: 你是否對美國設下關稅與非關稅障礙或壁壘? 你是否對美國有不公平的貿易作為? 你是否有愛操縱匯率的老毛病? 你是否有在偷竊美國技術或專利? 你是否有侵犯美國的智慧財產權? 你是否對美國享有巨額的Trade Surplus? 若答案都是Yes或多數為Yes, 那你就必須趕快修正, 然後再跟老川談.

由於老川的政府已把 "防衛台灣" 列為國防兩大優先項目之一, 所以, 我原則上已不再怎麼計較老川在其他事怎麼搞, 即便惡搞, 也不怎麼打緊. 老川, 你就使性子, 大鬧天宮去吧!

話雖如此, Old Donald政府對台灣的高關稅政策對台美人與台灣建州運動還是一項不小的挑戰, 雖然我們都不必為此負責.


台美人的挑戰是: 他們必須在 "對Mother Columbia的忠" 與 "對Mother Formosa的孝" 之間尋求平衡.

台灣建州運動與David的挑戰是: 他們必須在 "對Mother Columbia的關愛" 與 "對Mother Formosa的忠誠" 之間尋求平衡.



David所發起的台灣建州運動尚未產生一定的影響力, 所以, 在關稅這個議題上無能為力 [台灣若成為美國的領地或州, 台美貿易就是Insterstate Commerce, 當然就沒有關稅].

 

台灣土人總統候選人與土人總統WilliamDavid的建議案 [我們曾建議William研究與考慮 "台灣與美國建立Free Association的關係"], 沒有任何回應, 我們為此替我台灣族人感到遺憾.

 

我希望台灣土人總統WilliamGuermantes Lailari日前所提的研究與建議案 [研究台灣成為美國一州/ 美國領地/ 美國的自由結盟邦],  能展現一點興趣, 為了我台灣族人的安全/ 生存/ 發展利益.

Trump Announces Sweeping Global Tariffs

President Donald Trump announced a sweeping new wave of tariffs on several nations on Wednesday.

The announcement represents a significant escalation in the tariff war. The president detailed plans to impose duties on various products and several different industries, including automobiles, steel, and others.

During his announcement, Trump stated that the United States would be issuing reciprocal tariffs on nations that impose duties on American products. He explained the maneuver as “They do it to us, we do it to them.”

The president predicted that because of the tariffs, “Jobs and factories will come roaring back into our country” and that “This will indeed be the golden age of America.”

Trump announced a 25 percent tariff “on all foreign-made automobiles.”

He then brought up farmers, saying they have been “brutalized” by other nations’ tariffs. From 1789 to 1913, we were a tariff-based nation,” Trump said.

The president explained that he would impose reciprocal tariffs of 50 percent of what a nation is charging with all its duties on American goods combined. For example, Japan applies 46 percent tariffs on U.S. goods, which means Washington will now impose a 24 percent tariff on Japanese goods.

The president will implement a 20 percent tariff on products coming from Europe, 34 percent on China, 32 percent on Taiwan, and 26 percent on India.
