Trump announces tariffs of 30% on the European Union, starting August 1.

Did a Sovcit write this?
I don't think so, but the delusions of grandeur sure sound familiar between the two. Talking out of their ass, like they know anything about what they speak of, is a tell-all trait of sovcits and tRump!
-
honestly, if you handed him a fountain pen, i don't think he'd figure out how to use it.
Cut to a video of tRump furiously trying to turn the ink of a 0.7mm ballpoint pen to the same thickness of his arrhythmic heartbeat signature like a kid trying to fill in their fake bubble-art graffiti during class. Tongue sticking out and everything!

Yeah the whole trade deficit is bullshit, with GAFA it's the other way around.
But USA, why are we not buying your shitty cars or crappy food? One can wonder...
I just don't really understand the bigger picture. Like why are Trump's handlers letting him get away with this? Which group would benefit the most, if the US's general purchasing power went down? I'm thinking more Waltons than Putins, but it just doesn't make sense.
While I do see there is a healthy limit to conspiracy theories (looking at the chief of Health), I cannot imagine people wielding actual power wouldn't stop this lunacy if it weren't in their interest for some reason.

Trump is a media genious (let's give to Caesar what's Caesars) he's 80IQ in maths, economics and F- in history. Surrounded with yes men, this is what you get.
History is littered with rulers in similar situations, and surprise, it goes exactly the same way. So here the EU will use soft power or whatnot and just blast that Donald out of the waters. Might take a while worst case, but that's my prediction!

Naw, I'm not giving Trump a cent more than he deserves. He is as good of a troll as anyone before 4chan could get, but he has nothing else going for him.
I am more concerned about the background service. Like who were the ones that composed the newest sandwich bill? I feel if we get caught up in just the emotional part (he is trolling the whole world, after all), we won't see the actual harm being caused behind the scenes.
It feels that even this proposal is only there to distract from the actual harm being caused.

Wasn't there something about the Epstein files we were all thinking about just before Trump spouted this new distraction?
Trust me, we're all still thinking about it. This is a failed attempt to deflect

Unfortunately Europe can't very well afford to play hardball with him - not just because it's economically harmful to Europe, but also because Europe wants to keep at least some sort of foreign policy and military alliance, and cooperation in the midst of the war in Ukraine.
So EU already scrapped the plans of digital tax, giving Trump a win and gaining exactly nothing from this. There is still hope that Europe will pressure him at least a little bit - but not much hope, I'm afraid.
A stable alliance with the Trump administration isn't possible, as has been made abundantly clear. There's no reason to give concessions to preserve one.

I am amazed thtavit keeps working every time. At some point, the market will stop reacting to the taco blackmails
Because our politicians are corporation whores too. Or a corporation pimp going politician.
Marie Antoinette Merz is a great example... I quote: If people do not have enough money when retired, they should buy shares...

I'll believe it when I see it lol. Trump tariff threats just sound like whining at this point because he doesn't have the balls to actually follow through.

It's almost like the qanons, maga crazies etc are correct when they think there is a "cabal" or shadow government, it's just that it isn't the democrats doing it.

It's a bit delusional to say that EU countries are truly independent. Yes, any country can independently decide to leave the union – but as long as you're part of it, you give up parts of your independence.
It is delusional to say any country is truly independent. (don't know why you focus on the EU)
They all live is the world and trade with each other because no country makes all the resources they need themselves.

That's not even remotely the same. You are talking about economic interdependence.
I am talking about the political act of self-surrendering powers to the union that all EU member states have done.

Naw, they aren't totally wrong. I mean take any kinda superpac, and see the influence. The problem is, they voted for a swindler, who is only there to further his own goals, not dismantle anything (well, besides soft power).

Now i'm scarred ..... No, wait! I'm not!
Raise them 40% tariffs just for sending this letter. Not in August, not in September but now. Today.
It's the only thing the bully understands. -
I can't decide what's the
bestworstbestmost stand-out part, I keep coming back and rereading.You will never be disappointed with The United States of America.
Are you selling us a car?
Therefore, we invite you to participate in the extraordinary Economy of the United States, the Number One Market in the World, by far.
We'd absolutely LOVE to but unfortunately we have to wash our hair. So sorry. Next time, for sure. Love you, kisses!

any updates on the price of eggs?

Ah yes my favorite Country, the European Union.
This "tariff" is just a distraction from the Epstein files scandal, nothing more. It's just noise, not news.
-
" You will never be disappointed with the United States of America". I can't decide if this is a failed promise or a failed instruction or a failed other.

These Tariffs may be modified, upward or downward, depending on our relationship with your Country.
First, what the fuck is that random capitalization?
Second, so your giving us in writing, that these tariffs
maywill be modified at will if you feel so.Third, which country are you talking about? Europe is a continent. EU is a union of independent countries/nations.

Yes, he’s a demented rapist.

Yes, he’s an incredibly stupid and demented rapist.
He’s the most humiliating thing we could come up with, apparently.

Right when I decide to buy a Fairphone 6, welp, guess I'm keeping my current phone till the the tariffs drop.

Just so you know you pay the tariff rate that was effective when the item was shipped, so if it is in transit before August 1st you would pay the current tariff rate
