OMG! Trump's Tariff Tea: Is 10% the New Black?

Wait Is This Economics or an Episode of Keeping Up?

Okay dolls so like I was catching up on the latest news – you know in between glam sessions and deciding which filter makes my contour pop the most – and I heard about this whole tariff thing Trump is doing. Basically he's saying 10% is the *absolute minimum* for tariffs on imports from countries wanting a trade deal with the US. Can you even imagine? 10%! I’m like is this some sort of billionaire game of 'Keeping Up' that I wasn’t invited to? Because if so I need in. I mean I'm basically an honorary economist now right?

Trade Wars Are SO Last Season!

So Trump's all "Some will be much higher because they have massive trade surpluses and in many cases they didn't treat us right." Okay real talk is this like when Khloe found out Tristan cheated… *again*? Are we trying to get revenge on nations through trade now? It's giving me serious drama flashbacks to when Kourtney and I were fighting over like who got the last avocado toast. Trade wars are *so* last season. Can't we all just like get along and share the wealth? You know spread the Kardashian love but like globally?

The UK Gets a Pass? Is This the New Celebrity Friendship?

Apparently the UK gets to stick with the baseline 10% rate. Trump said they made a "good deal" and always treated the US with "great respect." Is this like when Taylor Swift suddenly started hanging out with Selena Gomez again? What does the UK have that *other* countries don't? Maybe they sent him a really nice gift basket from Harrods or something. Who knows? But seriously can someone tell me what the UK’s skincare routine is because clearly they're doing something right to get that special treatment.

Is This a Template? Asking For a Friend (and My Brand).

When asked if the 10% tariff with the UK is a "template for these future trade deals," Trump was all "No no." So basically it’s all up in the air. Like trying to predict my next hair color or the next time I'm going to post a thirst trap on Instagram. It's totally unpredictable. And that's what makes it exciting...or terrifying. Depending on who you ask. But you know everything is content!

Kim Explains Economics (Sort Of)

Okay dolls I know economics isn't exactly my forte but let’s break it down Kim K style. Tariffs = price hikes. Price hikes = less affordable everything. Less affordable everything = less cute outfits for everyone. And that my friends is a national crisis! We need to get on this ASAP. Maybe I should start a new SKIMS line dedicated to affordable trade policy. Call it 'SKIMS Tariff Solutions.' Has a ring to it right?
