    No one can escape punishment from a mentally deranged felon. He even murdered his closest friend over some files, so take that as you will.

      Then an hour later he will forget what he said in a meeting he slept through and change his mind.

      It’s the other way around, he is putting tariffs on American imports, so it will be harder for us to sell to USA.

        I’m not interested in doing business with America until they can get their shit together.

        Honestly, I’ve been in favor of a full embargo since this whole ‘trade-war’ bullshit kicked off. Strengthen trade with other nations while showing America they don’t control the global economy.

          Fine, I personally have a near total boycott on American goods and services myself, doesn’t change the fact that tariffs are not about us buying stuff from USA.

    Are there any countries left he hasn’t levied tariffs against? I believe the penguins are still quaking in their flippers…

    Okay, do it, because I vehemently stand with Greenland.

    This is a position that I’m willing to go through a lot of pain and consequence to support.

    Greenland is all of us, and if Greenland falls we all are fucked.

      That is precisely what, “his people”, are for in his eyes. There is no one but him in his world.

      I hope he does it. The people need to feel some pain to motivate us to put a stop to this madness, unfortunately.

        Sadly MAGAs are living in a completely separate reality from the rest of the world. Unreachable with facts and figures.

          It’s not MAGA who I’m hoping will act. A massive coalition of leftists, run of the mill liberals or even non-maga conservatives needs to form and remove Trump from power.

            I’m thinking about what is going to happen to the nation if/when trump is ousted. Because you have something like 77 million people who are living in alternative fact land. And you will have to deal with them.

    He’s already threatening to escalate to a kinetic war and then returns to threaten a trade war which he already started.

    Is that supposed to be the master negotiator?

      It’s the same tactic children employ when they throw tantrums in a grocery store. They wager they can make a fuss big enough so that it’s just easier for parents to give them what they want and carry on with their day.
