Donald Trump’s, uh, unique use of capitalization in his tweets has again become a gift for Twitter users.
A day after “Scott Free” became something of a meme, Trump’s Tuesday morning declaration of “I am Tariff Man” during a series of tweets about negotiations with China has taken on a life of its own across the internet.
….I am a Tariff Man. When people or countries come in to raid the great wealth of our Nation, I want them to pay for the privilege of doing so. It will always be the best way to max out our economic power. We are right now taking in $billions in Tariffs. MAKE AMERICA RICH AGAIN

Thus, a new superhero has been born and lumbers into international diplomacy like a bull in a china shop.

But every superhero has a weakness and Tariff Man’s kryptonite seems to be realizing exactly how tariffs work: often the cost of higher tariffs are actually passed on to the consumer, not the suppliers.
It’s something for Tariff Man to mull once he returns to his blood tree-decorated fortress of solitude.
