      i wonder how it would affect him if every single person completely ignored him for a day… not sure he’d make it through 24 hrs

      Like a rapey, orange face painted version of Dr Evil. Plucking stupid numbers out of the air.

      Europe should use this as a final call to action, a “last straw moment” to finally do what it takes to secure its freedom and independence from the MAGA-Putinism autocratic movement.

      I’m going to start buying french wine. It gives a great excuse for drinking less. Only one glass? Yes, it’s French, so costs too much to drink it all at once.

      Its time to go ballistic. There is no way forward with appeasement. It will hurt like hell but if we don’t start drawing red lines we will be an actual vasal state before the midterms.

      You cannot make a deal with that man.

      Even if you come to an agreement which isn’t complete submission to him, you have just given him leverage over you because now he has something he can threaten to destroy if you don’t do as he says.

      “Give me $1bn or I raise the levies on my citizens” is surely one of the statements of all time.

    15. WekX on

      I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I guess I’m buying French wine now.

      *angry Italian noises*

      I wonder what it takes for Americans to finally start mass protesting this insanity.

      On a side note, we need to get rid of Palantir fast. It’s used by ICE, and we can all see where it leads to. It’s a mass surveillance tool, and *if* (when?) the far-right takes over in Europe, they will use it against us, too.

      All contracts with Palantir should be cancelled immediately, and Palantir itself should be forbidden in Europe, before it’s too late.

      But that’s not gonna happen, because our political leaders have no spine and don’t really care.

      Either you pay us 1B USD to join this irrelevant organization, or I force the Americans I’m in charge of increasing prosperity, to have to pay much more to drink your wines.

      He is a blessing in disguise in the long term for Europe. It’s painfull to watch, but in the long run, Europe is being forced to stand on It’s on feets on so many key economical, political and millitary issues.

      Why don’t we put 200% tariffs on all USA products with and increase of 10% each month?

      If we wants an economic war, he can have it. What’s he going to do?

      USA has no relationships with Russia and China, has no relationship with the middle east or africa, has no relationships with south america either

      Take Europe of their relationships circle and they are just an army, not a economic superpower

      How can his little club be called board of peace when he needs to blackmail countries into joining ?… this just madness in every step

    22. Visceral99 on

      Hey american pals : just come drink our wine here instead!

      No red douche hat = 1x free St Émilion grand cru glass 🙂

      Americans love to flaunt their wealth. Triple price Champagne is an even bigger flex; sales will probably increase…

    24. Explorer_Equal on

      So: he invites you to participate (by paying 1 billion dollars), but if you refuse he punishes you with tariffs.

      I hope it’s clear to everyone that this is a mafia-style method.

    28. greenpowerman99 on

      This tariff willy waving is getting rather boring.
      Countries should all agree to automatically mirror every Trump tariff, plus 1%.
      No discussion, no announcement, just immediate response in kind.

    30. Typhii on

      He did put a 1 billion dollars price tag on that seat, and get mad when people refuse to pay that.
      He’s such a joke.

    31. Jamesorrstreet on

      -Come to my party and pay 5 times the real prize for all the food and drinks!

      -No, thank You.

      – I will punish all Your family members, only because I am mad at You!!!

    34. ILoveTheAtomicBomb on

      I really hope EU leaders are done trying to negotiate with Trump, because it’s fucking pointless to even attempt to

      Dump our bonds, hit back, you guys are in a new Cold War and dear rapist leader doesnt give a single fuck about what you have to say so go at it

    35. BergderZwerg on

      Good. More quality wine for us. Please encourage the orange (censored) to put even more tariffs on goods of quality, thus increasing our own supply. His subjects are unable to appreciate their quality anyway 😉

      Macron – again – the adult in the room. I know everyone hates him but as a Canadian, he’s been warning us and Europe for YEARS to stop relying on the US and invest in our military.

      He was right.

    37. MysticBlue1 on

      Are we (Europe) going to do something or continue to just wait and hope? It’s geting ridiculous

    38. yendak on

      Americans should do the world a favor and get that toddler out of the white house. His impeachment is overdue.
