Currently, after negotiations, the Bald Eagle’s tariffs on us stand at: base tariff 10% + fentanyl tariff 20% = 30% total.
Honestly, I still can’t figure out what all this commotion over the Bald Eagle’s tariff war was actually supposed to achieve.
Because that 10% across-the-board tariff applied to every country — that’s an extremely basic number. Any ordinary trade agreement could have settled that.
Instead, they took this enormous detour, ended up throwing their own prices into chaos, and then turned around and came to us to compromise on their own initiative.
But this does reveal one thing clearly: the Bald Eagle genuinely has no strong cards to play. It cannot create a dominant position. And in the process, it has massively burned through its own international credibility and reputation — which has actually pushed all the other countries it harassed into a quiet, shared understanding: “The Bald Eagle is just too unpredictable. Too much drama, too much disruption.”
What can I say — that’s actually a good thing. It shows the tide of history is increasingly moving to our side.
