They are really desperate for money to pay their debts…
A tyrant runs America.
California wine makers must be very happy to hear this.
Thats the seat that costs 1B right? So pay 1B or get tariffs?
[removed]
America is a joke.
So it’s extortion. Macron refuses, so Trump says FUCK YOU and then raises taxes on Americans.
That’ll show him.
No one man should have this power.
Imagine what it must have been like to have worked for him.
“give us a billion dollars or we’ll charge ourselves 3x as much until you do.”
Using economic measures because He doesn’t Like someones opinion
Unfit for office
>U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday threatened to impose 200% tariffs on French wines and champagne, as French President Emmanuel Macron is [reportedly](https://www.lemonde.fr/en/international/article/2026/01/19/france-unlikely-to-accept%5B…%5Djoin-trump-s-board-of-peace-macron-s-aides-say_6749584_4.html) set to refuse joining his “Board of Peace” on Gaza.
>When asked for a response by a reporter in Miami, Trump said “Well, nobody wants him because he’s going to be out of office very soon. So you know, that’s all right. What I’ll do is … I’ll put a 200% tariff on his wines and champagnes, and he’ll join. But he doesn’t have to join.”
>Trump also reiterated his plans to control Greenland, saying that European leaders “won’t push back too much.”
>“We have to have it … They can’t protect it,” he added.
Wow! Just wow!!
So 200% tariff on French wine because the French leader refused to pay $1 billion to join your private club!
It’s getting more twisted every passing day.
I cannot wait to see the Netflix documentary on the cult. I cannot understand how anyone can look at this man and think “that is strength”
2nd or 25th amendment…. Take ya pick… but now is the time America.
Elect a clown twice and expect twice the circus. Thanks guys!
$1B is nearly half of what the US spends on French wine anyway.
Oh brother.
The wines still come into america but with jacked up prices that Americans have to pay for.
This is so dumb.
Once again Trump is raising tarrifs on the EU, even as they’re finalizing the last EU tarrif deal.
Genius move – prove to everyone that your deals are worthless before the ink is even dry.
As a Franco American, I’m TIRED
So he’s trying to make him join the board while also punishing Americans who appreciate French wines? Lol
ROFL. This is the man 70 million American adults chose to lead?
More wine for the rest of the world. Send them to asia Macron.
How do US citizens feel knowing that their strong leader is nothing more than a whiny bitch boy?
He wants to start a war because no one gave him his Nobel Price. He wants to tarfif French wine because of his narcissism.
But I guess women are too emotional to lead… Hilary was so effing right with everything.
This is getting old.
Fuck off old man.
It’s like reverse of ww2 and trump has united the world against us. The tariffs, the kidnapping of a Venezuelan leader for drugs or oil, snatching Greenland. People now see Trump as hitler and all of us as nazis. We are now the ones that will need to be liberated. No former presidents are speaking out by name. They dance around it
Trumps a bitch and I want that known.
This guy really is a one trick pony
Trump is such a little pussy ass bitch
Let’s also put 420% on French fries
He thinks he can threaten the entire world into submission. This only works on MAGA. As an American, this is disgusting.
“You don’t want to join my club? Well fuck you! You don’t get to join!”
-Trump
Worse than a child.
Identify the “others”: check
Deploy law enforcement to deal with the “others”: check
Demand territory that does not belong to you: check
This describes the third Reich, also our current America
Us Belgians will support our French neighbours by increasing our wine intake by 200%
The rest of the west, and the world, needs to follow France’s example of snubbing him
A convicted felon and rapist, a narcissistic pedophile, dement toddler runs the USA
This man is literally insane. There is no other explanation.
The billion dollar price tag goes into Trump’s personal bank account. Nobody in their right mind would sign up for that.
Straight out of the Mafia’s playbook. “Nice wine you have there. Would be a shame if anything happened to it.” Fuck this orange mobster.
Nobody wants to join Trump’s pedophile club.
Mob boss gonna mob boss
This wound only hurt rich Americans, most of the Americans can’t afford to drink proper French wine anyway.
1 in every 3 vet is homeless.
Let Elon and His mates pay for the tariffs.
Get a man with the mental capacity of a 12 year old bully, give him the most powerful seat in the world, surround him with mindless accolytes who would sell their children just to smell his farts… and you’ve got Trump.
This only hurts rich Americans. Who else is drinking French wine?
Not to downplay the seriousness of all this-
But this time I have to just laugh.
Really, dude?
Come the fuck on.
Embarrassment and shame aren’t even close to strong enough to describe this.
It’s beyond childish. I never thought he “had it” to begin with but he has clearly fucking lost it.
The layers of grifting inception cannot even fully be calculated anymore.
The entire country, all of its instruments and influence, has been leveraged as a personal grift machine.
I can’t even describe this as mob-like, because the mob operates much more intelligently than this.
How are republicans not ashamed and embarrassed yet
I’m sorry he’s adding a tariff because France declined to give him one billion dollars?
So the average person will be stuck drinking american piss wine and the rich will still be able to get french wine while the rest of the world enjoys cheaper french wines and doesn’t buy american wine at all?
sounds like a win/win for the world.
Dear Americans, please don’t worry about the extra-cost on our wine, it’s just the added taste of Freedom!
Something that is lacking in your country right now…
Oh yay higher prices for us because the dipshit doesn’t know how taxes work.
