Following a wave of conservative backlash to the recent cinematic reboot of Superman, U.S. president Donald Trump has announced that all imports from Krypton will be subject to a 35% tariff.
The sweeping tariff was announced at 12:30am via Trump’s Truth Social platform.
“These Kryptonians have been taking us for a ride for years now. We’ve been treated very unfairly by them,” said Trump, switching his usual MAGA hat for a ‘Lex Luthor was right’ cap. “From now on, if you want to make a super-powered mech-suit in this country, it will be with 100% American kryptonite.” […]
“The planet Krypton, they’re sending their immigrants here, many illegally in rocket ships which land in Kansas, a state I won, by the way,” Trump addedi.
Hah! They nailed the right tone :)
Anyone remember his first term and the tariff calculator they released that had Wakanda as one of the country options?
