Topic: I ordered a jacket from Poland. I am in the US.

I had to pay DHL a fucking tariff fee of $53! This is 100% due to Trump's stupid bullshit.

Is there a shortage of jackets in the US?

No, but this one is a lovely, luxury field jacket. I could not find a comparable one in the US. US products are generally crap. The Polish company is superior.

Why didn't you simply fly to Poland, and wear the jacket back?

Clearly I can afford it and I paid it. I am just pissed that Trump is making things more expensive on principle.

If I was so rich that I had a private jet and think business class flights are for "commoners", of which I was not one, a $53 charge would be unnoticeable. And yet, for you, it seems to have caused a significant impact. How strange.

If I went to buy a $5 chocolate and discovered it was now $6, I would simply pay it and carry on with my life. This is because $1 is an unnoticeable amount.

If you truly were a multi-millianae, you would have gone to get the jacket yourself, or if you truly could not face to fly in anything other than your private jet, hire a person to fly economy and carry it back for you.

Why did you personally pay Donald J Trump $53.00 to import a jacket that is impossible to wear in Louisiana?? It's going to be 96 degrees tomorrow! Why the fuck are you buying cold weather clothing when you already live in a humid subtropical climate, which is getting even warmer?

So then, why did you not simply hire a man to fly to Poland and wear it back, to avoid the fee?
