That one military officer we sent has got a lot to answer for!
*Plans* to hit the UK, Denmark, and others with tariffs.
*Actually* hits Americans with tariffs.
Time to stand up to orange megalomaniac and be counted.
Do you think this would get Starmer off the fence and actually pick a side?!
It was gonna happen sooner or later so whatever. Fuck it and fuck him. Might as well send another 5 soldiers up there.
I have this horrible feeling that Trump will get what he wants and annex Greenland, and none of the European countries will do anything about it.
I’m so bored of this guy, can something give already. How are Americans so complacent with everything Trump is and how he is destroying any goodwill and relations they had worldwide. 10 years of this BS and it just keeps getting worse.
There is little point in trying to play fair with him, he changes his mind and makes new rules up when ever he wants depending on the colour of his underpants. He is unreliable and not to be trusted.
To that end, our biggest market is that of the EU, lets get back in and do it proper. None of this half in half out nonsense.
Fuck em, we need better partners, may I suggest the EU for a start? As citizens the best we can do is avoid American goods and services wherever we can, though I suspect for most of us there is little more toxic to us as consumers than the words ‘American Made’ already..
It’s real shame Trump is in a position to make pretty much everyone in the world’s lives more difficult to get his way.
I know the dream is to become less dependent on the US, but we do unfortunately have to accept that will be a painful process that will cause a lot of suffering too, especially if we try to do it quickly.
So Starmer bent over backwards to appease Trump and we get slapped with tariffs anyway?
I’m so tired boss. I’m so tired of hearing about America
Ah so this week it’s tariffs again? Man he needs a new playbook.
At the mercy of the Pedo-In-Chief’s weekly toddler style temper tantrum.
Never know. Might have a bigger stroke soon
At what point should we just boycott American products.
Who else is getting sick and tired of this orange faced pdf file
🤷♂️
Can we see the full & uncensored Epstein files, yet?
TACO – Trump Always Chickens Out.
These Tariffs will be gone by Tuesday.
Oh so what may get to see less of those American sweet shops which are shite
Donald Trump has no diplomatic acumen.
Venezuela is an own goal
Greenland is an own goal
The US needs to get rid of this tumour because he will isolate the US. He’s actively doing so from Europe, which will benefit only Russia.
But hey. Sure glad we gave Palantir a military contract 🤦♂️
Accepting that he (DT) changes his policies fairly regularly…
It will be interesting to see how this plays out with the electorate, unlike some of his other “policies”, this is not popular even with Republicans.
In the meantime, now is a perfect opportunity to reconnect with the EU, there is now nothing to lose.
Tariffs every day ending with a Y. Who gives a fuck what the sweaty orange pedo says?
Considering Starmer’s words as of recent, I wonder if at some point he & his government are just going to say ‘Sod it’ & go full on with going back towards europe.
And this is what we get for palling about with America instead of being part of Europe. Now we have no neighbourhood friends and our overseas friend just dumped us.
Not a problem. Tariffs are paid by the USA consumer not us, so let them pay far higher prices for the stuff they buy from us.
Atleast we’re not getting chlorinated chicken in the UK.
Where’s this Supreme Court decision? It was supposed to come last Friday and it was likely it was going to say Trump can’t set tariffs without Congress anymore.
In words of Jeremy Clarkson
“Oh no… anyway”
Hope the rednecks who voted for this orange clown are enjoying paying more for basic necessities
Time for Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, Netherlands, and Finland to make trade deals with new partners. Hello Canada, hello China.
Don’t you mean hit Americans with a tariff on UK goods?
Good.
We cannot defend his impulses or behaviour. We just need to weather this. It’ll be a shame to have exporters reduce what they send over there but, hey, at least it isn’t us actually paying. Fuck ’em.
“if you don’t let me take Greenland I’ll tax my own people more!”
Yeh ok
Its time to make a stand.
Anytime the orange one isn’t getting his own way he’ll just impose more tariffs.. where does that end?
What do we give away until we can’t anymore.
but also, begging us to take your shitty chlorinated chicken
Fuck this guy. Fuck the US.
Time to align closer with the EU, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
Good. I live in the UK and I would be more than happy to cut off all trade ties with the US in favour of a more expensive and smaller product selection from the EU. Fuck that orange pedophile clown.
Can we finally tell america to go away yet or we still need this “special relationship”
