I assumed you wouldn’t.

Why won't he ?

You’ll have to ask him but it’s based on his older posts.

You know me very well

I hate to be a pessimist, but Trumpy absolutely does not care about tropical fish- unless they have some monetary value to him.

The info is out there, with a petition US members can sign or not. I don't think there's much ground for debate, but fertile ground for conflict.
We won't solve anyone's domestic political issues here (or even international ones).

I do understand the thought of this petition. It doesn't only affect the States but also a lot of other countries (even my own). But I don't think we should be doing this overhere, people. I believe such a petition can do something good. I'll like to thank you for your concern. But please, this should be done outside this forum. For this can become too political which we like to avoid. Please, keep our forum rules in mind.

Aren’t most Brazilian fish banned for export anyway ?

Trump will most certainly declare that if you make the tropical fish in America there will be no tariff

Cardinals are mass bred in florida farms so they are a horrible example; but whatever.

Well yeah. That's what a tariff is - tax on imports. But tariffs would still increase the price of domestically produced fish. Because they will become more valuable themselves.

The Wet Spot gets a lot of fish from Brazil.

Brazil is broken into different goverened region (forget their terms for such) and it seems that each region sets their own rules on export in additional to the country rules. Unfortunately some of these region commit mass genocide on fishes via development that destroy their habitat at the same time banning their exportation due to 'conservation' which of course is non-sense if they destroy their habitat.
