    Is it a shock when this is what he said he would do & attempting to bully to get his way being his entire MO his entire life?

    Is this the same president that just signed a trade deal with these countries to keep tariffs down? I guess they should have read the “unless you do something we don’t like “ clause.

    It’ll be another TACO moment when he realizes it’s not going to work. Again.

    –>sigh<–
    We have a tantrum throwing toddler as our president.

    Seriously, how can half the population have better political views than this regime?

  5. So make stuff more expensive for American folk to force European folk to do something. Good plan.
    Trump is underestimating European solidarity massively.

  6. Big baby la la. There goes his economic necessity argument.

    Art of the Deal my ass. He and idiot boy Miller figure they can bully others to get what they want.

  7. So the supreme court has yet to rule on the legality of Trump’s tariffs, wonder how this will factor into their decision, specifically if the conservatives were on the fence.

    Sorry, Donald, this isn’t “shocking.”

    How can anyone even guess it you’re really miffed if the tariff is less than 1000%?

  9. It’s not a shock. The American people are going to pay more for European products. The bully has spoken.

  10. He’s got to be the dumbest person ever in a leadership position. Even leaders 1000 years ago probably had a much higher IQ for their time than this nitwit.

  11. Looking forward to seeing how bad this gets for Americans who pay the tariffs before Trump relents or is moved “aside”. This may cost EU some trade with US but like Canada, China and others, markets can be found elsewhere in this new world order and USA is quickly becoming isolated. I do not envy the next decent president who has to undo all this mess. (Edit, spelling).
