PLEASE do. Maybe that will get enough companies pissed at him that they push him and his support out.

A literal bazooka would work too: KABOOM and no more orange idiot rambling about things he doesn't understand.

And the very next line:

This is a major escalation the Irish Government wants to avoid.

Have they tried going back to before they were a crooked tax haven for unethical corporations? I knew as soon as they decided to be a tax shelter that they would become what I believe the Br*tish call, "A cunt in the machinery."

Then the tech firms raise prices in the EU. That's what happened to Canada and Canada backed down. The only difference is the EU may want to encourage their own tech companies to grow.

Yes, I don't see how they don't see that. I get trying to drag it out while opening other markets, but as china showed, he responds to shows of strength. There I no point negotiating in good faith. He won't honour it.

Europe should not be looking at what's the best way to trade with the USA, but look at what's the best way to support European companies being alternatives to the USA monopolies.

That's Trunos plan for the USA. Europe has an opportunity to take the lead and spread worldwide while other countries have the same issue.

If the large blocs, like EU can't stand up to Trunos tariffs, smaller countries have no chance and that is to everyone's detriment. If the EU stands up, china stands up, then medium economies like Canada and Australia can stand up too. He only has leverage when people are divided.

Sell them to China

That's the nuclear bomb that I think every country is holding off using (for now)

Sell the housesbonds to whom, fucking aquaman? (But really, who wants to buy bonds from a country with absolutely zero rule of law?)

He knows that he can’t really sustain tariffs because prices would really rise, and a massive recession would kick in, so he bluffs by delaying the dates.

Does he? Or does he just think the markets panic for no reason every time he tries?

People close to him have said tariffs being good for the economy is like a pathological fixed belief he has.

Also, don’t forget that a major part of the tariff declarations are pushed by his billionaire handlers and his family, to crash markets and buy in a fire sale. It’s the most blatant and highest scale insider trading scheme ever.

Pretty sure this is why he is fucking over federal aid for disasters. Hurricane wipes out a bunch of "poor" houses on the south-east seaboard, his billionaire buddies buy up the properties for pennies on the dollar, and then Trump is going to re-instate disaster aid to help clean up affected areas while taking about how the coast used to look so beautiful, and it's Biden's fault that all those people got forced out of their homes. Wealth transfer complete, and we even pick up the bill for rebuilding all the infrastructure on for the billionaires.

Sir, your /ich_iel is leaking

Americans have had it so good for so long they don't understand reality. Maybe we need to walk down that road to recall how bad it is.

Not really, they’ve just been told that it will somehow solve their problems and they’re too stupid to think about it any further. Once they stop being able to get cheap TVs and cars they will fold immediately.

Yeah.. USA seems to like all the wrong things and it will have it's consequences

They're playing the game too, with lower bets.

As a Canadian and Albertan, screw Canadian oil and natural gas too. If it's going to hurt our economy, so be it, it's our own damn fault for doing shit-all to diversify. I hope we can supply you guys the transitional fuel you need with minimal additional investment, but it's well past time for the world to start getting over this and break its addiction to these awful fossil fuels. I'm really tired of the entire country constantly being literally on fire. Fuck the wildfires, fuck the smoke, fuck climate change, fuck fossil fuels, fuck billionaires. Let's take our planet back.
