The American Chamber of Commerce to the E.U. said the U.S. tariffs and E.U. countermeasures “will only harm jobs, prosperity and security on both sides of the Atlantic.”

My dude, what you forget to see is that this harms the EU a little, it harms the US a little. The same goes for Canada, goes for China, goes for Mexico, but it will add up for the US.
In the meantime, the allies you try so hard to alienate are teaming up and using this opportunity to form tighter bonds, leaving you behind.

On the other side, we all know that he doesn’t give a rat’s ass about what happens to the country as long as his bank account gets swol.
Also, if Canada isn’t selling as much to the US, Canada can sell to the EU. It’s not as convenient but the EU, Canada and Mexico will happily trade with each other.

I assure you, the actual Canadian list is painfully detailed. One item specifically listed is fitted cases for church bells.
Florida oranges and Ohio appliances are two prominent ones I hear mentioned fairly often.

I’m actually not OK with this, TBH. First, it very much better than bending the knee, but if they’re going to impose tariffs, they need to be on the country. Plenty of democrats in those red states and plenty of republicans in blue states either will or won’t “get what they voted for.” In the end, we all should pay for this travesty.

But, NY didn’t vote for Trump… And neither did CA.
So, punish the people who DID vote for Trump.
Don’t worry, states like NY and CA are being hit by Trump himself.

This is a blast from the past when Bush went for steel tariffs
In retaliation, the European Union threatened to counter with tariffs of its own on products ranging from Florida oranges to cars produced in Michigan, with each tariff calculated to likewise hurt the President in a key marginal state. The United States backed down and withdrew the tariffs on December 4.
Congress cares and he has far less power if congress is against him.

As of now. But there are some who are already making a push back and even Fox news are starting to question Trump. After all, Trump keeps flip flopping because obviously some are already expressing frustrations behind closed doors.
If the silly tariff threats goes on long enough, enough people will become overtly angry.

The day I see some real serious push-back against Trump, will be a day for celebration.
And by real serious, I mean a lot more than just impeachment that turns out nothing, or the cancellation of a few presidential orders.
I mean real attempts to actually stop him from destroying USA and democracy.
I’m not American, but I don’t enjoy seeing USA being destroyed like it is now. We need more sensible leaders in the world, not fewer.
This is great. Hit red states harder until they feel the pain of their choices for electing a couple of nazi clowns into office. Maybe, just maybe, they’ll learn how to regret their choices before we’re all wiped off the earth in a civ ending heat wave.

Bush had no russian handler
He did have a sort of handler co-president though, so that hasn’t changed
Yeah. He had Cheney as his handler. The same Cheney who was on stage talking about great Harris is.
Difference is that Trump doesn’t give a shit about support for the next election. He only cares to please Putin.
Congress cares and he has far less power if congress is against him.

None. That’s the point. He needs their support so they continue not blocking him.
MAGA congress critters are all generally in safe, gerrymandered districts.
