The admin's "trade deficit" fiction hits new heights: slapping XX% tariffs on a country we've run surpluses with since 2007. Brazil's coffee beans now fund Trump's vendettas - $6.8B surplus becomes $7.93/lb consumer tax overnight.

July's tariff bombshell proves governance as performance art:  
- US coffee prices already up XXXX% pre-tariff  
- 25¢/cup hike coming as Brazil's XX% market share gets taxed  
- $9k coffee pallets (vs $6k last year) crush small roasters  
Every bean now carries Bolsonaro's legal defense surcharge.

When loyalty tariffs replace rule of law, your morning brew becomes a bitter political brew.
