  1. Trump is unpredictable and dangerous (by saying rude things), which is why we must *checks notes* entangle ourselves with an unpredictable irredentist state ruled by an absolute monarch who support all of our enemies

  2. What did we expect them to do? Simply yield to our diktats? People don’t like to be bullied and if you do it enough, they’ll do things about it.

  3. Its OK. They will cancel the deals and come back if trump tarrifs them 100%

    And when they don’t come back then he will tariff them 200% 

    And then 1000% and going up 1000% every day they don’t cancel and come back.

    That’ll show them.
