He’s an actual punk-ass bitch. No one believes a word he says. Well, anyone with a brain. His supporters just wave their hands and repeat his ramblings. Europe needs to keep calling his bluff.
Same reason Russia doesn’t. Because it’s real big…And the cops will kill you.

It’s deadly to get organized right now, so even getting a million people together would likely be met with rico prosecutions for sharing lunch with someone who passed out fliers. There is no freedom to organize even nonviolent opposition to the administration. The state has so many ways to relieve pressure that it’d take mass starvation and unemployment for people to do anything.
The billionaires have completely captured almost the entire opposition party, freezing out anyone who actually opposes their interests. There are no more democratic mechanisms for significant change, and most of us don’t accept that reality. So many people still think that what they’ve been taught to do to impact change will work, but our votes are only acceptable if the candidate is oligarch approved. Even the people who actually stand against them are only allowed to convince people that there is still a chance.
So you ask how we can let this go on? It’s because we’d need to embrace violence to change things, and most believe nonstate violence is wrong no matter how fascist the state.

Sorry, didn’t the Supreme Court JUST rule like TWICE that all his stupid ass tarvfeffes were ILLEGAL?! AGAIN?!
Chickening out or not, couldn’t he threaten and say it and it just…not go through? On account of being ruled ILLEGAL? AGAIN‽
Tariffs hit small importers harder. It is a great way to remove competition.

Who fucking cares at this point? No deal with that moron is worth anything. Give him nothing. Because he’s going to slap whatever imaginary bullshit on whomever he pleases no matter what they do. Let his stupid threats be what they are - a syphyllitic old man pissing into the wind.
Tarrifs are paid for by the importer, so there isn’t anything to do anyway. But what does then happen is consumers in the US will be conscious of the tarrifs and select cheaper products from non-tarrif’d countries. So there is an effect to be had on the EU whether they do anything or not.

I assume that the EU is expecting TACOs on the 4th of July.

What an asshole…
🤣😂🤣😂 omg, the world no longer cares
But Leyen likes to sign shit
Hurry up and comply or Dad will count to 10 again…
On the heels of trade court ruling his tariffs are illegal. And fuck off with this July 4th crap, you’re not fooling anyone
Ignore him. Seek business elsewhere. Trump just wants to control Europe.
Leyen wird das schon verkacken, mach dir da keine sorgen
Om vi alla skriver på olika språk blir allt mycket svårare att läsa.
A Møøse once bit my sister …
Eu concordo contigo. Fica mais difícil ler tudo mas é divertido!
Där Papscht het z Pschteck zschpat pschtellt.
Oh. You mean the illegal tariffs that your own courts won’t even uphold? That threat just doesn’t have the same weight anymore.
They just declared the new tariffs illegal lemmy.ca/post/64519783
Trump is beyond any laws. He simply doesn’t give a shit.
He should have been in jail for SA after being convicted by a civil court on 34 counts. Americans decided to fuck their own country.
While I agree, civil courts cant penalize you with prison time.
So, we are doing the “school yard bully” thing again?
Yes ,taco
Roll away, pumpkin.

US people needs to do something about their leaders and top 1% - you are millions, how can you let this go on!?
Because if we stop working, we die.
Same reason Russia doesn’t. Because it’s real big…And the cops will kill you.

If I was the leader of these countries and unions, I’d just ignore him. Literally just do nothing

That sounds delicious
Our parliament agreed to the tariffs… we are so weak…. This is embarrassing.
