Conni erklärt Donald Trump die weltweiten Auswirkungen von Tarifregelungen

**TL;DR:** A parody image shows the German children's book character Conni explaining global tariff impacts to a grumpy Donald Trump.

**Text on Image:**
"Conni erklärt Donald Trump die weltweiten Auswirkungen von Tarifregelungen"

**Description:**
The image is a parody mimicking the style of German children's books. On the left is Conni, a cheerful cartoon girl with blonde hair and a red bow, wearing a red-and-white striped shirt and blue jeans. She is smiling and holding a pointer, standing next to a chalkboard with charts, a globe, and the word “TARIFFS.” On the right is a cartoon version of Donald Trump, arms crossed and frowning. The image humorously suggests that the childlike character is educating Trump on international trade tariffs.
**TL;DR:** A realistic parody photo shows a young girl explaining global tariffs to a stern-faced Donald Trump.

**Text on Image:**
"Conni erklärt Donald Trump die weltweiten Auswirkungen von Tarifregelungen"

**Description:**
This image is a realistic parody styled like an educational children's book. A young blonde girl, meant to represent the German book character Conni, smiles while pointing at a chalkboard filled with diagrams—bar charts, a world map, pie chart, and shipping containers labeled "TARIFFS." Standing beside her with arms crossed and a serious expression is former U.S. President Donald Trump in a suit and red tie. The humorous concept flips roles, with a child educating a world leader on trade.

“…the $50 billion travel trade surplus the U.S. enjoyed ten years ago has swung to a $50 billion deficit, a $100 billion reversal that threatens to get worse.”

Don’t tell tRump or he’ll demand a 25% import tax on all incoming visitor tickets and expenditure. 🤪

@kobilacroix OFC #Greedflation will mean that corporations like #Apple will just 1:1 the prices even if the #USD:#EUR goes 2:1.

  • They already did it that in the past, and when the $:€ was >1,60:1, it was cheaper for folks to fly to #NYC, sleep one bight in a hotel, buy an #iPhone and fly back to #Germany with #customs & #ImportTax paid...

And yes, I knew a time when people got paid to order for pickup Apple devices in the #USA, fly back with them and properly declare them at customs because even at 2x19% tax + buying new chargers it was cheaper than accepting 60% price gouging.

  • So just because the #iPhone will get 104% tariffs in the #US and the #EU production never enters the US it'll likely get parity by numbers because Apple always flexes numbers in disadvantage for buyers!

Also no #retailer will accept sucking up the losses, cuz even if Apple were to make 80% margin on their devices at their stores, they'd be in the red without raising prices...

  • But in essence you're correct: #Consumers WILL GET SHAFTED and not the corporations - that's how it's always been! (Ask Brazilians about non - domestic-built game console prices!)…

I can't wait for Trump tariffs to apply to MAGA merch.
That includes overpriced Trump Bibles which are made in China.

Markets down sharply today. The U.S. introduced broad new tariffs—10% minimum.

History shows trade barriers can sometimes worsen downturns. Investors are responding with concern, and consumer prices may be headed up.

Years from now we will all remember exactly where we were when President Donald J. Trump announced "Liberation Day." ... Watching it on our phones, laughing at how stupid and corrupt he is. #donaldtrump #trump #tariffs #trumptariffs #tarifftax #importtax #uspoli #maga #project2025 #presidenttrump

Donald Trump drinks a glass of champagne in a hot tub filled with caviar. Behind him on the wall hangs a banner that reads "Liberation Day."

Damn, I got caught out again on #ImportTax 💸 when buying a new baseball cap 🧢

Subtotal: €18
Shipping: €15
Total: €33
Import tax: €35

🥲

I’m not against tax. But I think there should be some legal aspect that companies should make it clear how much you’ll get taxed before buying the item.

I ended up paying €68 for a cap advertised as €18

Se pensate di portare il vostro nuovo Apple Vision Pro 👓 in Italia dagli Stati Uniti 🇺🇸, potreste pagare dazi doganali 💸. In Germania i dispositivi sono stati confiscati 😱

@RobertaFidora @alpenglow

collect and pay VAT on the customer's behalf, but I'm not quite sure where that is detailed or how it works.

Either way, it all is a major pita (you should see the online declaration forms I just had a look at - they are horrendous).

Anyway, I'd love to hear from someone who knows more about how #CustomsDuties / #ImportVAT / #ImportTax into the EU and Germany in particular works in practice, especially for items below the €150 threshold ...
