Someone should tell him that he can’t afford it. Give him a made up number and see if he acceppts it. One badrillion dollar.
Just block the US completely
Block the US, Russia, and China, they’re all shit governments and they’re all only there for themselves. The rest of the world cn do without them
At least China never invaded us or imposed unjustified tariffs. Duties are a tool, they can actually be constructive but heck it just makes no sense to use them as a political weapon to intimidate YOUR OWN ALLIES
If I were in charge, I would tell America that after this stunt, they can forget about mining deals or anything close to it, because this is what he really wants and the inuit don’t want their beautiful country to be hollowed out by greedy companies that will pay them Jack shit for it.
The true test is when/if trump decides to drop all this threatening talk and instead says he wants the minerals, like he did with Ukriane.
If we bow to that request, we are a joke.
You don’t reward a screaming, destructive child with one cookie after he demanded the whole tin.
This would fit in with by a government serving chaos undivided.
You could find an example of anything this monster does that lines up with the chaos gods.
Sad part is a grim dark present there are no angels to call upon. Even if they did it’d just be exterminatous.
EU invites you to provide evidence about role of open source software as a strategic asset. So we will be able to break free from even more things that fund this clown.

Good. Don’t trade with the US.
Russia and china must be throwing a party right now
Plus, 1st round of tariffs worked ao well for US economy /s
I still don’t understand why he or his followers don’t know how tariffs work. Do they know they have to pay them, not we?
It’s like he’s hitting himself in the face and says he’ll only stop when he gets what he wants.
Because applying an import tax, regardless of the fact that Americans pay it, creates a reduction in demand for that product, and therefore a motivation for the foreign exporters to try to lower their prices to compensate and keep the price the same for the America customer.
The logic only works if the US is assumed to be too big to fail and that the exporter can not absorb the reduction in sales to America
I really don’t know enough about this to be sure, but I would assume the US mainly imports goods that they cannot produce on their own, right? So a reduction in demand wouldn’t occur and it really doesn’t make a lot of sense in this scenario. But again, I’m not an expert. Would love to see a statistic how much of the goods being imported by the us could realistically be replaced by their own production.
That being said, the orange turd continuously makes it seem like a 20% tariff on a country means that that country pays 20%, which is just false and dumb.
that they cannot produce on their own
That’s the issue. Trump wants those goods to be produced in the US to regain the skills. The Americans have noticed that manufacturing weapons is not enough. They have to manufacture regular products, too, to improve the skills that are needed for advanced weapons. With tariffs, American products become competitive again.
Maybe tariffs with Europe are not high enough and Greenland is just an excuse to rise them higher despite the existing trade agreement.
I believe the onion app headline was “America defeats America.” I couldn’t have put it better myself. It’s a shame.
WASHINGTON—In a historic outcome that promised to halt the rising scourge of the United States in its tracks, America has defeated America at the ballot box, sources confirmed Wednesday. “After 248 years of tense and often divisive conflict, we can finally say, as of this morning, that the nation turned out at the polls and delivered a decisive blow to the nation,” said electoral analyst Kurt Howitzer, describing the results as a remarkable triumph of the democratic experiment over democracy. “It’s a stunning turn of events. But it really shows the power of one citizenry to come together and prevail over themselves. The message was loud and clear: We are sick and tired of our country, and we want it to end.” At press time, millions of emotional Americans had reportedly gathered on the National Mall in an impromptu celebration of their resounding victory over the forces of liberty and equality.
the ink hasn’t dried on the last “deal”.
there is no point in appeasing the us, they will always be back for more.
We have a mad king with an abuser mentality. One can’t participate in these games. It only encourages the bully to continue the bullying.
Start tariffing their digital services. That should do the trick.
Nah. Tariffs are a shot in the feet.
Tax THEM instead. And enact a law similar to the American CLOUD act putting American owned datacenters in European soil under the European countries authorities.
Or, as Cory Doctorow suggest, make reverse engineering, decompilation and circumvention of DRM legal.
And start taxing the tech bros.
FFS, this pedo rapist keeps doubling down on his words. They used to get his voters excited.
Proud of the EU for standing up to America. This is just vibeposting but our gov seemed very set on military action, and now we’re back to “let us buy it or else” messaging
and they didn’t even have to wait until Tuesday
Fuck me, wasn’t it 10% just this morning?
It is 10% now, and goes to 25% on June first.
It is +0% now, +10% 1st Feb, +25% in June, unless…
but what about the Epstein files?
