Welcome, aspiring global disruptors! 🌍 Ever dreamed of igniting an international economic conflict over breakfast? You’re in luck! Here’s your step-by-step guide to starting a trade war without breaking a sweat.
🛒 Step 1: Pick a Random Import to Tax
Why not slap a tariff on something unexpected? How about:
- Avocados 🥑: Because who needs guacamole?
- Toilet Paper 🧻: Let the chaos begin!
- Rubber Ducks 🦆: Just because.
Remember, the more arbitrary, the better!
📣 Step 2: Announce It Loudly
Hold a press conference, tweet it, or maybe even create a TikTok dance. The key is to make sure everyone knows you’re serious… or at least pretending to be.
🔁 Step 3: Wait for Retaliation
Sit back and watch as other countries respond with their own tariffs. It’s like a game of economic ping-pong, but with higher stakes and fewer rackets.
📉 Step 4: Watch the Markets React
Stock markets may fluctuate wildly. Don’t worry; it’s all part of the plan. Or is it? 🤔
🧠 Step 5: Claim Victory
No matter the outcome, declare that you’ve won. Confidence is key, even if no one else agrees.
