Social media users wasted no time turning this bizarre move into comedy gold. One viral meme shows penguins in military gear, preparing for a "retaliatory strike." Another quips, "Trump’s tariffs on penguins: because they’re stealing all the fish jobs." 

The hashtag #TradeWarWithPenguins is trending, with users joking that the penguins are now drafting their own trade policies.

But Antarctica? It doesn’t even have the cards to play in this game. While Heard Island and McDonald Islands made the tariff list, the icy continent itself was left out. "Antarctica dodged the tariffs—guess Trump couldn’t find a way to tax ice," one user joked.  

Another meme features a polar bear smugly sipping tea, captioned, "Antarctica watching the penguins deal with tariffs like: 'Not my problem.'"

The memes don’t stop there. Trump’s tariff strategy has been compared to everything from Bollywood dialogues to street market haggling. One user wrote, "Trump: 'We’re gonna win with tariffs!' Also Trump: slaps tariffs on penguins. America: pays double for everything. Conclusion? We’re doomed—one penguin at a time."

While the memes provide comic relief, the economic implications are serious. Indian exporters are bracing for the impact of a 26% tariff on goods, while American consumers worry about rising prices. But for now, the internet is focused on the penguins—and their newfound role in global trade.
