Trump vows to slap 25% tariffs on EU and claims bloc was ‘formed to screw US’
-
They backed off twice already. Its a joke at this point.
-
Do you know the food standards laws, or are you assuming? We are not the US, our laws are much stricter. As an example, I saw someone in the EU say Canada would never want your dairy laws because we would have to pasteurize our milk which would increase the price. Thing is... we do pasteurize our milk. That's already a rule.
But that's irrelevant anyway. Freetrade means free of duty or tariff, not free of regulations. Any Canadian goods (including food) sold in the EU, must meet EU standards.
So if your objection is legal criteria, there is no substance to your objection.

Ketamine, or so I heard.

Not an untrue statement. The EU was formed to make them more financially competitive and stop the endless internal warfare.

Multiple different personality disorders combined with just being an asshole, I'm thinking.

The bat needs to bounce back and also hit the fascist ball in the face.

That would be great if another way to retaliate against US tariffs would be other countries officially hosting pirated US material for anyone to download. Make it extra easy for everyone to boycott American companies!
-
Remember that when you bag on Americans for putting Trump in office.

Multiple would make sense, but seems like just one personality🤪
-
Multiple disorders, not personalities.

Water to Seattle? Is this legit because Seattle has no shortage of precipitation or water AFAIK.

I remember the aisles of proprietary phone chargers in Best Buy and Walmart all sectioned off by device name and the Medusa like adapters that had 14 different plugs coming off of a universal barrel connector.

Hmm, yes, maybe. Antisocial, avoidant/hyper sensitive to criticism, dependency disorder/on musk, histrionic/attention seeking, obsessive compulsive, narcissistic. Crap, he's got 'em all.

They're already doing that. The USB consortium released new naming schemes and labels to fix all the bizarre naming conventions.

Don't forget sociopathic!

Assuming their supply is related to the Colombia river system, yes. It looked like all of Washington was in the watershed in the map I saw.
How badly impacted they'd be by us messing with the upstream supply, I can't say.
-
Twice? Are you thinking of the first term thing?
The last time, it really looked like he panicked when the Dow (predictably, to everyone else) fell. If he blinks every time, yeah, it's never going to actually happen, although I can't see him deciding that actually he's wrong about tariffs being awesome.
-
He pushed it by a month again. Now its for sure actually defenitely gonna happen in April Im seriois guys no really.
-
Uhh, this CBC story is from a couple hours ago: https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/trump-tariff-march-4-1.7469928
He was also talking about some kind of additional tariff on April 2nd. On the auto industry (that will be shut down if he follows through anyway), IIRC.
-
Huh. There were some CBC articles floating around saying they were postponed again. I guess not? The articles are gone.
I feel like nobody knows wtf is going on.
