A parody Python package page presents “tariff” as a tool that applies tariffs to imported libraries, making them slower. The joke references Donald Trump’s “Make importing great again” style of rhetoric and mocks import tariffs by turning them into literal software behavior. It can be shared as a reaction to protectionism, trade policy, or bloated and inconvenient developer tooling.
