Donald Trump announces plans to hit the UK, Denmark and other European countries with a 10% tariff on “all or any goods” exported to the US from 1 February
In a post on Truth Social, the US president says these will remain in place until “such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland”
He’s such a fucking idiot
I’m absolutely certain he’s dying and thinks he can make the legacy he leaves behind ‘America was at it’s territorial height under President Trump’ instead of ‘Donald Trump lied, cheated, and stole his way into the US presidency, thus weakening America forever’
I’m absolutely certain he’s dying
Don’t give me hope like that.
Technically, we all are dying,it’s just a matter of how long it will take.
In the Cheetos case, I am hoping it’ll be less than a year left
Oh, but I bet his successor will be worse
Absolutely
His legacy will be that of the pedo rapist president who throws tantrums.
Didn’t he say something about this being his last Christmas or am I misremembering?
He’s been talking about dying a lot, which sort of keys us in on what’s on his mind since he has zero filter
I think that the US should be split into 50 new independent nations.
All the Republican led ones will slide into third world banana republic dictatorships that soon won’t be able to feed their own population, bit that is their own problem. At least the rest of the nations can continue to develop into normal states where people have actual freedom
That’s the Republican goal honestly, but they don’t seem to understand the eventual ramifications. Without blue states to prop them up financially, what’s going to happen? They get to be dictators of dirt piles. The poor folks who can’t flee the state will stay and their lives will become hell. A few libertarians might move in, so they can start child prostitution ranches or whatever lights their fire. More or less anarchy, like dual authoritarian/libertarian path that Trump is laying out. Just… scary to think about. I’ll have to abandon my beloved historic home in the South, but also, would be nice to not look at a homeless guy sleeping under cardboard a block away (it’s 34* F) because these morons won’t pass a single tax to improve things. Sigh.
We gotta launch a #FreeCalifornia hashtag or something
Every country who does not want to be a target for the US needs to urgently develop a nuclear arsenal with intercontinental delivery systems. The world is currently at the mercy of an 80 year old narcissistic toddler for the second time in less than 100 years, the only thing that will stop such a man is strength.
France and England have enough to be a deterrent. I think around 500 between the two of them. And France has like 200 on active deployment, I think because of Russia.
That should read, Trump plans to punish Americans by adding taxes on trade with countries unwilling to abide by his tantrums
I’m really happy that the EU is seeking for new commercial partners
I hate how every news article about tariffs implies that the country is the one being damaged by this. When in reality it’s the us citizens being damaged.
Should read “Trump threatens us citizens with tariff on Greenland…”
The countries are indeed damaged because of it but not even close to as bad as it hurts the US population
Mans dead set on ruining the American economy huh?
Just the American economy!? The entire global order has been upended
Alright I just won’t buy stuff from America like I already have been for like the last 11 months
It’s the other way, tariffs on import to the US.
Ok, I will continue to not sell goods to the states then.
No, no, that’s the point. You should sell them even more (at a higher price).
? why would someone do that, we don’t get those tariffs.
Hell why would any non us entity want to give money in any way to trump?
So that they get so deep into recession that they cannot lie their way out of it? But you make a valid counterpoint.
For now. Let’s hope EU leadership has grown a spine since last time :)))
There have been some reports in the last 48 hours that they are talking about scrapping the trade deal with the US (rather than ratifying it as they had been scheduled to do).
It would be a reasonable move, especially since Trump never honours his agreements anyway.
He’s lost all credibility. I can imagine all States assume dealing with him is about not crossing in front of his personal interests and giving money to buy his will. Those are the two things to consider. As Europe has fallen in the first group, it’s time to be strong and stop him.
How’s that policy of appeasement and boot-licking going now, Kier?
Starmer really thought that being a doormat for the playground bully meant he would get to keep his lunch money.
I am still shocked that the party in power is not some ultra conservative one with the way that government administration is operating in the UK.
Well short of a coup or government collapse/dissolution, we’ve got to wait for an election.
We’ve got to hope Polanski and Sultana have got their feet underneath them by then.
As an outsider, am I crazy for thinking the leaders of the smaller more “extreme” parties like Sinn Féin or the SNP keep sounding more reasonable?
More reasonable than who?
The older parties might be done with for now. Labour and Conservative.
SNP isn’t that extreme. It’s actually very very popular in Scotland.
I guess if that part of the problem with calling things extreme is that if you’re extremely far from centre yourself, the centrists sound extreme. So it’s a little hard to answer your question.
The ‘challenger’ parties like Green, “Your Party” and Reform are very popular, especially with the young and the poor.
I think a lot of people expect them to take a lot of local seats and councils in the next few years.
And while Reform has been dragging Labour to the right (with not a lot of protest from Kier, I think), some of these new leftist parties will hopefully drag him back to at least the centre. Just though influencing the soulless polling he seems to use to decide what he cares about in any given month.
More reasonable then labor for sure, I was shocked to see them go authoritarian like they have. At least there is some other parties to move support to that seem to understand that cracking down on the population is somewhat unpopular. Here in Canada we have seemed to ruined all the options on reasonable parties so at least hearing there is traction with new parties gives me some hope.
Sounds to me like the UK should just drop all the agreements it made to avoid tariffs and give trumpler a solid kick in the balls.
If you don’t give me what I want, I’ll make the American people pay me more to buy your stuff.
OK.
Yep. And at this point, any EU company who hasn’t made steps towards not relying on the US market deserves the shitstorm coming their way
Oh, no. The Americans are taxing themselves again to own the libs
Tariff the libs to spiderface
The truths in the Epstein Files must be devastating when the tangerine turd tries so hard to distract from them.
It’s like saying Hitler attacked Poland and organised holocaust just to distract the German public… No, at some point you guys need to admit it, the guy is a power hungry lunatic.
… who just happens to associate with the known pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Doesn’t matter if it’s power over girls or countries… power hungry is power hungry.
Los dos, my people.
at some point you guys need to admit it, the guy is a power hungry lunatic.
some of us have been shouting this at the top of our lungs for years
He is, but the Epstein files is the one thing his base has actually reacted to with possibly disgust. They are fine with literally everything else he does.
So this is a case of him being a power hungry fuck that also works well to distract from the one thing that might cause consequences. It can be two things.
If there’s one thing his base are good at it is ignoring the truth. I seriously doubt they would believe the content of the Epstein files to be true, even if Donald Trump directly said they were.
the Epstein files is the one thing his base has actually reacted to with possibly disgust.
Jealousy. Not disgust.
Hitler was actually clear from the start about making Germany great again and immigrants, foreigners and jews being ‘undesirable’. Oh wait.
And Hitler was perfectly fine with just deporting Jews, to Madagascar I believe was his idea until it turned out to be a stupid and impractical idea. So I guess Trump is just at the pre-mass murder stage right now.
It wasn’t just the jews… The Nuremberg laws also included “Gypsies, Negroes, and their bastards”.
As well as LGBTQ+ and the political left.
Weeeeeelll, the Nazis had illegally taken out a bunch of loans and hidden that fact with financial trickery. That’s how they managed to pay for rearmament. All those loans were coming due, the Nazis couldn’t pay and didn’t want to admit what they’d done so yeah, they invaded Poland. I mean, it wasn’t purely distraction, they also hoped to seize gold and foreign currency in Polish possession but distraction was a huge part of it.
Back when debt was something to reckon with instead of just being a an infinite money exploit for trillionaire speedruns.
Not the guy but vast majority of americans are lunatics
Eventually we’ll find out both Hitler and Churchill are in the Epstein files.
Between the Haavara Agreement and all that crap with Prince Andrew, I honestly wouldn’t be surprised.
Why not both?
Rename Greenland to Epsteinland and watch trump never mention it again.
If any of this audio is true it’s way way more damning than I imagined: https://lisevoldeng.substack.com/p/dont-worry-boys-are-hard-to-find
he’s willing to cause a civil war AND a world war over it, lol. makes me wonder who Bubba is.
Bill Clinton’s nickname was Bubba, Ghislaine Maxwell’s horse was also named Bubba.
I think Trump is just obsessed with the thought of having the legacy of expanding US’ borders. I bet he thinks all scandals will be forgotten but you can’t forget how the territory was expanded.
We remember, hundreds of years later, we remember. We tore down monuments to them, we will tear down those you erect for yourself even faster.
Trying to impress putin
Honestly it would be great if the other countries released whatever they have on Epstein and Trump. The UK at a minimum has to have a ton of dirt hidden away from when that ghoul in the royal family got publicly shamed fo it.
Not Russia because they can’t be trusted of course.
tangerine turd
We should compile a list of all the nicknames. There’s been some real good ones. 😂
Mango Mussolini is still my fav
Cheeto Benito
