Comment on trump puts 25% tariffs on Aussie steel and aluminium

I hope we respond by putting tariffs on American pickups.
I kinda don’t want this. Because I want those yank tanks taxed and/or regulated regardless, because it’s the right thing to do, and I don’t want progress towards that to be undermined by being seen to get caught up in a bullshit trade war.

Huge cars with terrible visibility should have been outlawed ages ago anyway. There’s no good reason for someone’s bonnet to come up to my shoulders on a fucking ute.
There’s a reason why the road toll is going UP per capita in the US.
As much as it sucks for the Americans, there is a small part of me that’s happy about Trump shooting themselves in their own collective foot, because maybe we’ll consider diversifying our alliances a little. Instead of being America’s little laptop.

Little "laptop"?
Laptop?
Well, I suppose it's better than being America's "gameboy"....
