Is China the 'Chief Ripper Offer'?

Alright shaguar fans! Austin Powers here reporting live from... well not exactly a happening discotheque but the news desk! It seems like President Trump has gone all Dr. Evil on China declaring them the 'chief ripper offer' when it comes to trade. Can you believe it baby? Ripped off! By China! It's like finding out Mini Me is taller than me—unacceptable!

Tariffs Baby! Yeah!

Trump's slapping a whopping 145% tariff on Chinese imports! That's more than my love for a good shag! Analysts are saying it's gonna cause some serious economic shockwaves man. Supply chains tangled like my Austin Powers medallion in a shag carpet baby. But Trump? He's just grooving along seemingly unconcerned.

Empty Shelves? Not if I Can Help it Baby!

Now here's the kicker baby! Empty shelves! It's like a nightmare from the '60s only without the psychedelic drugs to make it seem cool baby. Trump says maybe kids will just have two dolls instead of 30. Two dolls? That's like saying I only need one mojo baby! Preposterous!

Do We Need China? Shag Yeah Baby!

Trump's also saying we don't need a lot of the stuff China makes. Oh behave! They've got ships loaded with stuff! Sure maybe we don't *need* that singing fish but what about my groovy threads baby? You can't get that on the streets of London baby!

Who's Negotiating? Shhhhh!

The administration claims negotiations are underway but it's all hush hush baby. Like trying to find out Dr. Evil's latest evil plan. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is supposed to be leading the charge but Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick is pointing fingers and China's saying 'not so fast'. It's a right old caper baby!

No Calls No Worries? Yeah Baby!

And get this baby China's Foreign Ministry is saying no one's even talking to each other recently. No calls no chats nothing! It's like trying to get a date with a fembot – no luck baby! This trade war's got more twists and turns than my dance moves at a go go club baby! Oh behave!
