    If Macron could lend some nukes to Canada and Denmark I think we’re ready to declare him Leader of the Free World

    Im just gonna say if everyone around the world sells of their us bonds and cripple us i understand. 

    My fear is that idiots in our country with no capacity for thoughts won’t. But at this point we deserve everything were handed.

  3. “Unacceptable” is the such a polite word for what we all actually want to scream at the orange buffoon.

  4. Everything the Trump administration is doing is unacceptable. Keep on, and everyone will avoid doing business with the US.

  5. Can you guys just crash our economy already? That’s the only thing these fuckers care about.

  6. It really is time for countries to work together to push the US to back down over this. It sets too dangerous a precedent and the US are starting to think they can get away with anything and they’re getting very close to being right.

  7. When a pedophile is busy protecting other pedophiles he needs to have a good distraction.

    Trump might impose additional tarrif on Macron’s unacceptance of Trump’s tarrif over greenland.

    They’re all waiting for the Supreme Court to take away his tariff stick at which point Trump probably implodes or demands the “unilateral tariff law only for TRUMP” law.

    He is essentially trying to blackmail the world into getting his way. And the problem with that is, as soon as you give in, that just empowers them to keep going. A year after getting his way, he’ll be claiming Mexico is part of the US and they need it, and if you disagree, 20% tariffs, etc.

    Only way is to tell them to fuck off and hold your ground.

  11. Time for the whole world to call his bluff, his ego and power tripping is damaging the US for years to come.

    In what world is telling someone “I am going to take your land!” not a declaration of war?

  13. I truly hope that any one else on here from the U.K. takes all this in and sees Trumps far right wing ideals and behaviours and recognises that if the Reform party were to be in charge of our country we will also have no NHS, no Unions, no welfare state and pretty quickly civil riots on our streets.

    I tried to say ages ago we all needed to work together as a single entity to push back against USA tariffs.

    EU, common wealth countries, japan, mexico, we could have all agreed to put counter tariff on USA equal to the highest tariff on any one of us.

    Make Trump accept a single trade deal with most of the world and hold him accountable.

    Instead we have allowed trump to continue bully us one by one.

  15. Genuinely proud that Sweden is on the list of countries Trump is threatening with tariffs. We stand for peace, freedom, and science. If that provokes authoritarian bullies, I take it as a sign of good health.

  16. It was already unacceptable the first time Orange Hitler threatened EU last year and we should’ve cut off all funding to the US, that js our only leverage and we should have accepted the economic pain, that would’ve really hearted The Orange Hitler administration and it would have ended it there and than.

  17. I cant wait for Trump to punish me with higher prices now that Macron has undoubtedly upset him…

    Trump is a bully. If Europe accepts this, we are done. Next, it will be Canada (“Canada, such a big country, but it is surrounded by the US, the biggest and greatest contry in the world, and I’ll get the Nobel prize if I can buy Canada…” Such a clown; how the fuck he was elected ?

  19. I hope Europe and Canada are already hard at work coming up with NATO successor.

    Because it seems to me like Trump’s actual invasion of Denmark is irrelevant when considering whether this iteration of NATO is dead. It’s not the US somehow becomes a reliable ally if Trump backs down.

  20. Canada, Scandinavia and Germany need to start getting their own nukes as a deterrent of America and Russia. Bullies only understand power. Stephen Miller said so himself.

    I just need to get it out how to handle an abuser.

    You don’t react or comment to every whim or peep. You don’t even tell him ‘No’ or ‘That is wrong’ – because they know. You simply observe them silently.

    Then you look what they do and then you respond. No preparation just consequences.

    No threats. If he puts tariffs in place you respond. No “because you did this we do that.” Just do.

    Yo France, we like your stuff. Want some lumber and maple syrup? Let’s make make deal.
