    25% if a deal is not agreed upon by june 1st?! I’m surprised he didn’t say “within the next 2 weeks” 😂

  2. And let’s hope that’s the message of solidarity from all of Europe, including the U.K.!

  3. For the last year I’ve been continuously amazed how low that orange guy and his lackeys can go in their quest to be absolutely comical Bond villains. I lack the imagination to have ever conveived such a moment in history, so close to that Idiocracy satire movie.

    I am very afraid for the near future because if there’s something I’ve learned the hard way dealing eith narcissists and people with BPD is that there is no limit, no one desire which needs satisfying so that there is peace. Their only objective is the continuous domination and control of others and they will _always_ move the goalposts. And this is the guy who americans decided is the perfect fit to run the biggest military force on the planet. I thought Bush Jr was bad, I would prefer 5 consecutive terms of him than this.

  4. The Danish and Ukranians are a great example for other countries to follow on dealing with bullies.

    Kinda of topic but: Anyone else in EU be getting American propaganda articles as ads on soc media recently? I’ve been getting them for a month or two, shit like how smart and genius it was for EU to bend the knee on tarrifs…

    Good for them. Good for any country standing up to Trump. Our own congress has failed us and there are only like 30 percent of people who care right now. The rest are Trumpers or people who are just completely apathetic.
    I’m liberal and didn’t vote for this. I hate Trump, but I’m going to have to take the punishment like everyone else.

  7. There comes a time when you have to stand up to a bully if only to preserve your personal dignity.

  8. 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.

    After eighty years of trade integration, when you shot at european foot you are shooting right in your own knee. How stupid can you be to not see that. Europe has HUGE abilities to absolutely destroy USA economy. Hell, even Denmark itself can cripple US because controls like fifth of the american naval logistics by means of MAERSK. The US is virtually commiting suicide now.

  10. Europe wide 100% tariffs on anything from America is the only response that’s acceptable anything less is just playing his game

    Surely the EU has to realise that diplomacy has reached its end at this point. Ffs, the orange fascist is mad that NATO, of which the US is a part, are patrolling Greenland for Arctic security – ostensibly what he wanted. Will the EU stop pussyfooting around and enact some economic consequences? We shall see…

    It’s time Europe started treating the US the same way we treat Iran and North Korea. Do we have politicians brave enough to do so?

  13. The EU should stand united against the US by BOYCOTTING THE WORLD CUP. That would do more in economic damage than the tariffs in the short term. And, largely, maga doesn’t watch soccer, so if the left also boycott the WC there will be real economic ramifications.

    Sounds like it’s time for Denmark made Ozempic to get really expensive only for americans. That’ll piss off the rich and maybe something will be done then.

  15. Trump unfortunately is not smart enough to realize his actions are only hurting the United States and strengthening China’s power and influence. Just the other day Canada made a trade deal with China because they no longer want to deal with Trump’s shenanigans. If Trump keeps up this tariff garage nobody is going to want to do trade deals with the United States, essentially pushing all our allies directly into China’s open arms.

    As an American, if Europe would stand up to Trump and tell him to fuck off that would be great

  17. Say it again. Say it louder! And take some meaningful action. Americans are being held hostage by one man, too. And 30% of the idiot population.

    As an American, I support Greenland!! 🇬🇱Fuck Trump and his bullying tactics! He has ruined America. Don’t let him ruin the planet!

  19. Drugs like Insulin and Ozempic are about to become A LOT more expensive for Americans because of this btw
