    Who fucking cares at this point? No deal with that moron is worth anything. Give him nothing. Because he’s going to slap whatever imaginary bullshit on whomever he pleases no matter what they do. Let his stupid threats be what they are - a syphyllitic old man pissing into the wind.

    If I was the leader of these countries and unions, I’d just ignore him. Literally just do nothing

      Tarrifs are paid for by the importer, so there isn’t anything to do anyway. But what does then happen is consumers in the US will be conscious of the tarrifs and select cheaper products from non-tarrif’d countries. So there is an effect to be had on the EU whether they do anything or not.

        It’s just another distribution of wealth to the top. The cash is collected, the tariffs deemed illegal and the big box stores keep the money. The courts will get overwhelmed with class actions and the consumer will get $2.75 back if they can send in their receipts.

    He’s an actual punk-ass bitch. No one believes a word he says. Well, anyone with a brain. His supporters just wave their hands and repeat his ramblings. Europe needs to keep calling his bluff.

    Oh. You mean the illegal tariffs that your own courts won’t even uphold? That threat just doesn’t have the same weight anymore.

        Trump is beyond any laws. He simply doesn’t give a shit.

        He should have been in jail for SA after being convicted by a civil court on 34 counts. Americans decided to fuck their own country.

          Let’s also remember he led an insurrection and was the second most prominent member of a global cabal of pedophiles. A lifetime in a secret blacksite is the absolute best thing he deserves.

      It’s deadly to get organized right now, so even getting a million people together would likely be met with rico prosecutions for sharing lunch with someone who passed out fliers. There is no freedom to organize even nonviolent opposition to the administration. The state has so many ways to relieve pressure that it’d take mass starvation and unemployment for people to do anything.

      The billionaires have completely captured almost the entire opposition party, freezing out anyone who actually opposes their interests. There are no more democratic mechanisms for significant change, and most of us don’t accept that reality. So many people still think that what they’ve been taught to do to impact change will work, but our votes are only acceptable if the candidate is oligarch approved. Even the people who actually stand against them are only allowed to convince people that there is still a chance.

      So you ask how we can let this go on? It’s because we’d need to embrace violence to change things, and most believe nonstate violence is wrong no matter how fascist the state.
