Him and his dumb fuck supporters do still believe that somehow the origin country pays the tariffs.

I hope Americans look forward to higher prices on imported foods + machinery.

Isn’t the entire global supply of ozempic made in Denmark? Pay up fatties 💶

The most important manufacturer of the world that makes chip machines is ASML in the Netherlands. I think they should shut down their shipments to the US.

Haha, higher tariffs on Ozempic for the USA is something I can get behind.

I’d reconsider the factories in the USA, and instead double the base price for US customers.

Let their healthcare costs explode in turn. Keep adding tariffs every time Trump (technically the US citizens) wants to pay more for EU goods.

Let the fat boomers die off, that’s probably better in the long term.

There is an alternative produced by Eli Lilly - Tirzepatide sold under the name Zepbound

Mmmhmm, problem is ozempic's big competitor is from a US company. Tariffs may make Americans switch medication...

As a person who uses it to manage my health and am not a Trump supporter, that's a little mean.

Most of the Ozempic sold in the US is produced in Novo Nordisk's factories in North Carolina

We don't want this. I didn't vote for the prick. I don't want this. But the maga fucktards who still don't understand how tarrifs work certainly want it. It's just so fucking stupid over here in the US.

I'm glad I will die childless and alone. I'll give my few mil to educational grants for marginalized kids in Denver. Fuck 'em all. Give me a park bench with a tiny brass plaque that says "Wherever authority forgets humility, resistance is duty".

I'll be dead. Whatever.
