    Bring it on Trumpet, USA can't stand upto EU's economic power

    Threatening to throw a tantrum if one's opponents gang up, is only an admission of vulnerability and an invitation for opponents to gang up.

    Besides, the EU has already held consultations with China (which got a tariff raise last month) about how to adapt to the situation. Both have previously used response strategies aimed at Trump's support bases. They'll do it without hesitation.

    And if Trump is going to enact "far larger" tariffs against every big trade partner, he'll knock the US economy into a recession.

      From the guy who complains about having to pay for stuff, pretending it's a subsidy.

      Sure, we can reciprocate. Further, the more tariffs he puts on, the more likely we all are to remove trade restrictions on other partners.

      Guy responsible for USMCA doesn't like USMCA.

        he's gotta get his "deal" or whatever the fuck this is about well before the midterms when he losses his majority.

        ideally you can get some non-senile democrat leadership in place before then.. but i guess not. rot is deep.

              I really don't think that's how it works. Like no one has ever sold their house below market to such an extent that one would run to buy it. That makes no sense. If you lose your house, it goes to the bank.

                I can see you weren’t around when the fallout of 08 happened. Read some articles about the 08 crash. With all of these people losing their jobs, you don’t think there will be ramifications to that? The job market is complete shit right now, more people looking than jobs available. The dominoes have been tipped and are starting to fall. The sooner you realize that the better you will be on the recovery. There’s a bad moon rising and trouble is on the way.

                  Irrefutable logic:

                  A -> B

                  I don’t like B, therefore more A.

                        That's why I'm telling you, housing doesn't drop. Fallout of 08...amature... Look, my parents bought a house for 75k back when I was just in highschool. We had been renting for a long time. My parents both are blue collar and made maybe 65k combined. But you see that? Income is almost the same as the price of the home? 15 years later I helped make the very last payments. My dad passed away only 5 years after that. Awesome retirement! Right? Fuck that! The house is now worth 1.2million. Uuu! Let's sell it at the height! Yeah gonna make a ton of money! Nope, if you sell you won't be able to afford the next one. Within months inflation leaves you in the dust. I bough a house down the road for 500k before your said 2008 hiccup. Now its 1.3million. And so are the taxes like 10 fold. You can't own anything if you get sick or lose your job. Waiting for the "right moment" that's what vultures. And I'm not criticizing you became when I bought my house everything around me was 700k. So a fixed upper for below market... Yey! 5 years of hard work that I'll never get paid for. I'm on my 3rd house became I need to move around for my job. Go ahead tell me I should rent it out. I did that and learned how renters destroy because they don't own so they don't care. All the tariff stuff, that's gonna send inflation up thru the roof so you won't be able to afford when you think the right moment is coming. You'll just be out on the street still waiting for the right moment. No. The best advice I can give you is to buy the most affordable thing you can be allowed to buy and work you ass off on it so you can upgrade. Once you own a house, you're riding the market. Then you can move when the market drops... If you sell when the market is high. You think its high now? Then sell. LOL you can't predict that market. I just hope that my kids are able to at least stay in our house and be able to pay it off one day. I'm in Washington state. Here taxes are like a python...ohh I can afford that! Goes up to your shoulders... Sure I'll vote for improved roads and schools... Taxes double... WTF! Now you can barely make enough to pay rent and keep from freezing. And Californians read this and think...man I've gone without AC for a year before, just ride it out!...dude, go in the freezer and stay there for 6 months, let me know how that went. Make sure its plugged in. The other side! The one with the ice cubes!

                          This is true but I personally am not gonna be selling my house for a low low price just because Hitler is the president.

                            Think about what you're saying. The market value fluctuates over time. Right now US housing is artificially inflated because of monopolies and rampant real estate speculation. When it tanks, it could tank hard and fast, and it might never get back to current levels. Nobody knows. And that is the time when tens of millions of Americans would love to buy homes.

                            But the thing is that it never works like that! Uhh look wall street just fucked up! Now I can afford my house! Finall...oh just lost my job. Ah never mind! I'll just be here under the underpass. I agree, you can find a moment. It will be a Walmart moment. Think about it like Christmas waiting at the door for your PS 3 at 2am. Its just 2 of you waiting to bust thru the door and grab that PS 3. Then it's 2:30am and you got 15 fellow gamers. At 5 am the line goes around the block and the TV helicopter is flying around so you can't hear anything. 6 am you're planning ....I'm gonna go to the right! Surely the toy section! 7am! You bust in and you run to the right and see nothing, keep going, to the left, to the right! Found the pile! Run! Fucker run! Oh shit they're gone! They're all gone!...Walmart has another 300 in the back. They'll put them up 10 by 10 to keep the frenzy going. Same here, the banks will soft land them selves into loan heaven... 1.2million! Can't afford? Foreclosure! 800k? Sure...can't afford? Foreclosure! 590k? Sure! Can't afford? ....the same house getting sold over and over to different fools. The only way around the game is to buy what you can afford and live in it until you die....then the game continues with other fools.

                              Trump fucks everything up forcing nations to find other economic alternatives then says I will destroy you if you work together. This is the plot of a bad 70's comic book.

                                      Another year of this, and these threats will carry about as much weight as North Korea threatening you with sanctions.

                                          Once people find or develop those alternatives they wont be back for at least a few generations. Trump doesn't understand that other countries can and will find a replacement for US goods and if necessary US customers. I'm sure though some who are in the right position are ready to exploit this for their own gain. Trump is more than a fool he is a tool.
