From Quantico to Tariffs: PC's Take on Trump's Trade Wars! (Spoiler Alert: It's Complicated!)

Hold Up Did Someone Say Tariff?

Okay world PC here! So I woke up this morning sipped my chai (yes still a desi girl at heart!) and then BAM! Headlines screaming about *another* potential trade war. Apparently Mr. Trump wants to slap a 50% tariff on the European Union. Fifty percent! That's like charging double for a Birkin bag! (Okay maybe not quite but you get the idea.) And all this because negotiations are 'going nowhere.' Sounds like my last attempt to parallel park in Mumbai traffic. #Chaos.

EU vs. USA: A Bollywood Drama in the Making?

Trump claims the EU is 'taking advantage' of the US with 'Trade Barriers' and 'Monetary Manipulations.' Honestly it sounds like the plot of a poorly written Bollywood film. The evil scheming foreign entity versus the righteous innocent… well you get the picture. Where's my popcorn? And maybe a good scriptwriter? Because this needs some serious tweaking. I mean darling even *I* need a little drama in my life but this is too much!

Apple of Discord... literally

And then there's Apple! Apparently Trump's also threatening them with tariffs if they don't start making iPhones stateside. So like if I want to Facetime with Nick I might have to pay extra? Unacceptable! My phone is like my third limb how else am I supposed to post glamorous selfies and promote world peace all at the same time? #Priorities. Maybe I should get into phone manufacturing... PC Phones...has a nice ring to it!

Stock Markets Shaking Like a Bollywood Dance Number!

Unsurprisingly the stock markets are having a full on Bollywood dance breakdown. Futures sank European markets plummeted... it's all very dramatic. Someone get the smelling salts! Is this what they mean by 'global impact'? Because I usually aim for a *positive* global impact like you know ending poverty or promoting education. Not crashing economies.

Trade Representatives: The Unsung Heroes (or Villains?)

Poor U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer is about to have a *very* awkward conversation with his European counterpart. You know the kind where you smile sweetly while secretly plotting world domination? My advice Jamieson? Channel your inner 'Quantico' agent. You'll need all the skills you have. Remember 'Be Fearless!'...just try not to start a war. (Unless it's a really glamorous one with amazing outfits. Then call me.)

So What's a Girl to Do?

Honestly I'm just an actress not an economist (though I *did* play one on TV once!). But hey maybe if we all just took a deep breath put on some Bollywood music and tried to understand each other a little better we could avoid this whole tariff tango. 'You gotta bring a little bit of yourself to everything.' And right now I'm bringing a whole lot of 'Can't we all just get along?'
