Make Tariffs Great Again: Donald Trump, Economic Tantrums & The Best Cards You’ll Ever Buy

Well hello there, trade nerds, tea spillers and lovers of chaotic capitalism! It’s Prickly Cards here to explain why Donald Trump has decided to whack on a fresh batch of tariffs like he's decorating a budget wedding cake. But don’t worry, this isn’t going to be one of those yawn-inducing economic blogs that makes you wish you were locked in a lift with Piers Morgan. No, no. This is educational, entertaining, and ever so slightly shop-pushy.

So, what has the tangerine tycoon done now? Donald J. Trump has reintroduced a series of economic tariffs, targeting imports that he says are undercutting American industry. In his words: "We're bringing jobs back, we're taking control, and we're making coffee great again." Okay, I made that last bit up, but speaking of coffee...

If you want to sip your morning brew with the smugness of a man who's just taxed the hell out of Chinese steel, you need the Make Coffee Great Again Donald Trump Mug. It's orange. It's bold. It screams, "I read headlines and own novelty ceramics."

Now, back to the tariffs. For the uninitiated, tariffs are basically a country saying, "Oh you want to sell us that? Fine. But we’re slapping a fee on it so our stuff looks cheaper." Think of it like charging your ex an entry fee to your birthday party, just to make sure your new fling gets all the attention.

And speaking of birthdays, if you’ve ever wondered how to wish someone a truly presidential happy birthday, why not send them the Donald Trump Birthday Card? Or go full chaos mode with Happy Birthday - Stop The Count. Because nothing says "warm wishes" quite like electoral denial.

Now, Trump insists these new tariffs are "good for America," which is sort of like saying Crocs are good for clubbing. The idea is to protect local jobs, encourage domestic production, and raise revenue. But in practice? Prices go up, supply chains go wobbly, and economists across the land start stress-eating popcorn.

In fairness, he's consistent. The man slaps tariffs like he's playing a game of Whack-a-Mole with the global economy. But let’s not forget his gift for branding. "Tariff the Terrific!" I'm expecting merch.

Speaking of merch... Father's Day is coming up, and you just know your dad would love the Donald Trump Father’s Day Card. Whether he’s a die-hard MAGA fan or just really likes weird cards, this one’s a winner.

And for the friend who's finally leaving their job to "focus on their side hustle" (read: buy crypto and panic), send them the Bi-den Funny Joe Biden Leaving Card. Because if we can't laugh at geopolitics, we might as well cry into our oat milk lattes.

Finally, if you’re really ready to go full tariff-core, do not sleep on the Make Birthdays Great Again Card. It’s perfect for that one friend who quotes Trump ironically but has suspiciously strong opinions on trade deficits.

Oh, and we couldn't forget a classic: the Happy Birthday, Mexico Will Pay For Your Cake Card. It's spicy, it's surreal, it's everything Trump wishes NAFTA had been.

In conclusion

Trump's tariffs might shake up global markets, but the real winner here? You, dear reader. For now you not only understand trade policy, but you’ve also found the ultimate range of Donald Trump-themed cards and mugs to send, sip and sass your way through the next family gathering.

Grab a card, grab a mug, and remember: tariffs are temporary, but comedy is forever.
