Your source gloated that Trump's tariffs are an  "act of economic self-harm" and said that "Australia will be able to seize trade opportunities in the Asia-Pacific region."

The "absorbing" of the "impact" of the tariffs referred to stealing our business and eating our lunch, you dummy. 

You get all victorious over stupid ****. It's a recurring theme with you.

Your ignorance truly has no bounds, does it asshole?
There is NOTHING in the Australian response to the Trump tariffs that indicate they WILL be able to find and seize new trade opportunities instead of the US anywhere else!  You're simply gullible enough to swallow the worthless promises of an Australian politician hoping that such a response will help him win their last election.  There's nothing else newsworthy in the speech of the PM, where he clarifies the fact that AUSTRALIA WILL ABSORB THE TRUMP TARIFFS RATHER THAN PASS THEM ON BY RAISING PRICES, proving once again that you're nothing but an ignorant blowhard who doesn't understand a thing about economics, and that you haven't been right yet about your foolish claim that "consumers ALWAYS PAY the cost of tariffs"!  

But of course, you can't admit what a total buffoon you are once again, so I'll just enjoy my minimal efforts to continue proving what a horse's *** you really are!

What happens when these other countries start realizing what Trump has identified?

Do these other countries think things will suddenly get better after their Trump tantrum?  

Right now, they're in "face-saving mode", attempting to prove they can stand up to Trump and won't accept his new tariffs.  
That will change in due course, as they see alternative markets drying up rapidly as every other country tries to do the same thing, causing a "race to the bottom" on prices!  That's what happens when you lose the largest, wealthiest, and most powerful market on the face of the earth, while trying to convince your populace that those lost sales can somehow be made up by making a deal for a couple of million dollars to a country like Sri Lanka or Nambia.  They're scrambling now to try to find a way to replace tens of billions in sales that they find are not being sold to the US as their docks are packed tight with unsold goods.  China has already devalued their Yuan, which in effect is the reality that they've been forced to absorb the tariffs.

And the move Trump's made to postpone the highest tariffs for another 90 days is a brilliant strategy by Trump.  Picture that fight restarting in early November, just 8 weeks before Christmas which is ALWAYS a huge percentage of China's sales every year.  In that time, Trump knows that he'll secure new trade deals with at least a dozen more countries, leaving China to watch as the parade passes them by, mounting the pressure on China to reach an agreement with Trump.

Trump has the world over a barrel, and ignorant libs can't stand the thought of Trump succeeding once again!

You are genuinely this dimwitted?

Your link says that Australia's PM is planning to kick our *** in the Asia-Pacific, replacing US producers when asian countries impose retaliatory tariffs. It doesn't say the Australian government is going to pay our tariffs. It says they are going to steal our customers.

You're an idiot.

Home Depot will dump products rather than surge prices. Or so they claim.

Okay. American consumers will lose choices AND dollars because of the tariffs.

Bully for you, son.

Don't you mean more stupid "proof"?

So they are going to "absorb the costs" of tariffs on the  "American made ingredients." You are presenting an outlier that has no numbers. It could be a pure PR ploy. Just what ice cream ingredients does this Chapman person get from the US? You don't know and neither do I.

Meaningless and stupid.

The "initial few who" make no sense whatsoever.

You don't understand your own sources. Australia said it was going to kick Trump's ***, and you thought Australia said it was going to lick Trump's ***. You think an obvious PR campaign by some minor league, off-brand ice cream maker - no numbers - is relevant, and you think a meangless statement by home depot about not "broadly" raising prices proves the tariffs will come from anywhere by American consumers. Never having run a business, you do not understand tariffs. They're a tax on consumers - PERIOD. Not a tax on water fowl, on cantaloupes, on countries, or on rainbows. They are a tax on consumers - period.

Son, you are truly retarded.

Oh, it DOESN'T say Australia is going to pay the tariffs, huh?  Can't you read English, you buffoon?  Here, let me try to help:
Australia is ready to absorb the impact of tariffs decided by U.S. President Donald Trump, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said Tuesday.
And to top it off, you're dumb enough to think that Australia has the ability to kick Trump's *** on trade?  
Yet you wonder why you're looked as as such an empty-headed, uneducated moron?  Because it's sure no surprise to me!

Now tell me, asshole.
Why the hell do you think China has already devalued their currency, which is how they choose to absorb the Trump tariffs, EVEN BEFORE A FINAL DEAL IS REACHED?

Care to give us the details of this vast amount of experience on international trade you imagine you have, while I've done hundreds of thousands in sales and purchases to and from roughly a dozen international countries in my career spanning (just now) 6 different businesses I've owned or been partners in?  I made you look like the horse's *** you are by proving I was a business owner yet you still can't accept the reality that you're an economic moron with zero experience in the field compared with me!

Time to embrace your ignorance, butthead!

Read the next sentence, you loud, stupid cow. It makes clear that the "impact of Trump's tariffs" will be LOST MARKETS. The target countries will impose retaliatory tariffs, and Australia will get new customers for its UN-tariffed products.

You really, truly ARE that stupid. Just wow. Even when I SHOW IT TO YOU, you cling to your masturbation.

When the meskin government was wiping them out, Obama sent them an arsenel. 

You were too stupid to understand what you were looking at. I wasn't.

In the wake of Obama's arms giveaway to the cartels, they pretty much took over the entire country. Places I used to spend weeks enjoying are now completely off limits to me.

I swear, you're as gullible as the dumbest peons who believe every word a politician tells you, WITHOUT THEM TELLING YOU EXACTLY WHERE IN THE **** WORLD THEY WILL FIND A TRADING PARTNER AS LARGE AND AS WEALTHY AS THE US?

So you want to show me something?  Show me ONE SINGLE COUNTRY that ANY of our trade partners have gone to in order to replace the sales they previously got from the US!  Brainless dolts like you seem to think that customers the size of the US are just waiting in line outside your door to buy up whatever the US no longer wants from you!  And that tells me you have ZERO concept of the kind of trade volume that the US has, and you refuse to educate your stupid self to that fact!

So try to keep your panties dry and wait till the dust settles on the Trump tariff deals all around the world and take note of how many countries like Australia and China are forced to either devalue their currency or absorb the Trump tariffs over the next year as they lose the most lucrative trade partner on the planet!  It's obvious that I learned more about trade and economics before I turned 20 than you've learned so far in your entire worthless life!  You clearly have no idea whatsoever what it is that gives the US the unparalleled strength to dictate it's policy to the world, and saddest of all is that you don't even care enough to allow that education to permeate your cement-block of a head!  Sure it's sad, but it's also quite funny watching someone so ignorant try to defend his own stupidity!

No, jackass, you're not obliged to do anything!  Least of all, continuing to spew your idiotic economic theories after they've been proven wrong for the past 4 months!  So who is it that looks stupid now, fool?
But since you can't deny what has been claimed, and the fact is that since April, Australia HAS BEEN ABSORBING THE 10% TRUMP TARIFF, AND THEY ARE NOT RETALIATING WITH RECIPROCAL TARIFFS ON THE US, ARE THEY YOU **** MORON?:

'Not the act of a friend': Australia angry over Trump tariffs
2 April 2025 Katy Watson and Yang Tian BBC News, Sydney

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese called the measure "totally unwarranted", but said the nation would not introduce its own tariffs - also known as import taxes - in return.
Opposition leader Peter Dutton said the tariffs were a "bad day" for Australia and would be a "significant impost" on jobs across the nation.
However, the prime minister said Australia would not be retaliating on US goods.

"We will not join a race to the bottom that leads to higher prices and slower growth," he said.

But he warned the tariffs would have consequences for how Australians see ties with the US, and that the country would resort to formal "dispute resolution mechanisms" contained in its free trade agreement with the US if necessary.

During his "Liberation Day" speech, Trump pointed to Australia's ban on fresh beef from the US - which was introduced in 2003, after cases of mad cow disease, an infectious neurological illness, were discovered in North America.

"They're wonderful people and wonderful everything, but they ban American beef," he said.

"They don't want it because they don't want it to affect their farmers."

"I don't blame them, but we're doing the same thing right now," Trump added.

So tell us, stupid.  How many months AFTER they've been paying the Trump tariff will it take before you accept the fact that "absorbing the Trump tariff" is not simply something that Australia has merely claimed?

Come on and expose how economically ignorant you really are!  I'm sure almost everyone here enjoys the show!

It's very telling how much they hate this country, all because their incompetent whore lost the election!
Just look at that idiot Johnny You, who's cheering over the fact that Putin didn't agree to the ceasefire that Trump demanded, because he thinks that Trump lost a battle.  Liberal morons like him can't grasp the kind of economic strategies that Trump has available to him to force Putin to end the war, like placing huge new tariffs on any country that buys Russian oil, or even how it means that both the US and NATO will now be shipping huge amounts of sophisticated weaponry to Ukraine that will result in the deaths of thousands more Russians and cost them hundreds of billions more as they're driven to the edge of bankruptcy.

That's the kind of illogic permeating the tiny liberal brains we see here every day!

It said that Australia would take our business - not pay our tariffs. 

You are simply arguing silliness to hide your embarrassment.

Which is exactly what he will do unless NATO grows a dick and gets on the floor. 

Which leaves China off-leash and growing.

They fell into one of the seven classic blunders, the most famous of which is "Never get involved in a land war in Asia." Only slightly LESS famous is this:

Oh, it's incorrect, is it?
Did you skip over this quote made by the Australian government as they reluctantly accept the fact that they will pay the Trump tariff and deny there will be any in-kind tariff retaliation?:

However, the prime minister said Australia would not be retaliating on US goods.
"We will not join a race to the bottom that leads to higher prices and slower growth," he said.

So if your stupid theory was correct, then why did Australia respond with these words:

Opposition leader Peter Dutton said the tariffs were a "bad day" for Australia and would be a "significant impost" on jobs across the nation.

Care to explain them, you **** moron?  If AMERICANS were paying that tax on Australian goods, then why would that be any imposition at all for their nation?
Why would it have been such a bad day for them to see Americans paying higher taxes?  It sure as hell doesn't make it a bad day for Americans if Australia is simply paying more in taxes, does it?  I guarantee that most Americans couldn't give two ****!

Scratch your empty head for a while and try to come up with some response that doesn't make you look even dumber than you already do, moron!

If you're dumb enough to think what you just presented is "evidence" that Australia is paying the tariffs for producers, just keep thinking that, ya gay retard.

What the story says is that Austrlia believes it will pick up customers that the USA loses in the pac rim because of the tariffs. None of what you quoted in any way refutes the clear language of the article, ****.
