In a bold act of caffeinated defiance, coffee shops across the globe are sticking it to Trump’s tariffs—one cup at a time. The beloved café Americano has mysteriously vanished from menus, replaced by the suddenly trendy café Canadiano (which is suspiciously the same drink but with a slightly smug apology on the side).

Independent cafés are leading the charge, but the real question is: Will Starbucks cave? The coffee giant is torn between its corporate neutrality and the undeniable marketing goldmine of a politically charged espresso shot. Will we soon see Freedom Frappuccinos battling Socialist Soy Lattes?

Meanwhile, MAGA supporters are reportedly switching to tea, only to realize it was the original protest beverage. And somewhere in Ottawa, Justin Trudeau sips his double-double, wondering how he got dragged into this.

One thing’s for sure—this trade war is brewing up some real bitterness.
