(to the tune of “American Pie”)

[Verse 1]

A long, long time ago, I can still remember

How that whiskey used to warm my soul.

But tariffs came, the price got high,

And now my glass is running dry—

I knew that we’d be losing it too soon.

[Verse 2]

So bye-bye to Kentucky supply,

Now I’m sipping maple bourbon with a tear in my eye.

Them good old boys used to drink it with pride,

Now it’s taxed up and stacked up so high.

[Verse 3]

Well, I went down to my old saloon,

The bartender sang a lonesome tune,

He said, “Son, Jack and Jim are hard to find.”

So I turned to rye from Montreal,

But it just don’t have that kick at all—

Another drink, another dream left behind.

(Chorus repeats…)

Coffee Shops Brew A Revolt Against Trump’s Tariffs (video)

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.
