It's been hilarious seeing European libs say that the EU should copy China's strategy of reciprocating and ignoring Trump until he caves, truly believing that they have anywhere near the leverage or spine that China has.

Modern economic theory is sitting down and watching The Sopranos.

80 years in da American sphere of influence. I wanted soft power, but I compromised. I tied myself to their economy instead.
I wanted an EU army. But I compromised. I converted some farmland into US outposts. You see where I’m goin’?
That disloyal piece of shit Britain’s colony- I can’t even say its name- taxed our imports. And what did I do about it? My weakness.
Sometimes I think it’s in my Charter for Fundamental Rights. My economy took shit from the ‘merigans the minute WWII ended.
Come on, the fuck you talking about?
The chicken tax. That’s MY fuckin’ legacy.
…No more, Vovka. No more’a dis.

I had no idea the EU is ran by the Shah of Iran.

-
The tariffs, whatever happened there...
-
frankly i'm depressed and ashamed
-
Tariffs and cunnilingus, this is what got us here.

His friends and family are loading up before the long weekend. He'll walk it back by Monday and then they'll all sell on Tuesday.

Lmao Europe won’t be able to buy gas from the US either.
2050 climate goals will be reached well ahead of schedule, folks.

This man's brain is pudding. He is legitimately just saying and doing random things.
-
I need the xhs analysis on this. The only reason I can think of for this is that the American ruling class is simply not very bright.
-
It's honestly bewildering why anybody would think this is a good idea, yet here we are.
-
-
Do it coward. Seriously, please do it. This might bomb Ireland's economy but it's probably the quickest way to get American corporations out of the country, short of revolution
-
Shannon Airport would be vaporised by a DongFeng hypersonic missile by June 3rd if he did this
-
-
but it's trump pressing a button labeled tariffs
-
"western hegemony", more like "best urn? hey gems, money!"
blammo, gottem.
-
got his ass
-
-
Big beautiful Tariffs.
Yes please Mr President, keep them coming
-
Please do this. It would be so funny.
-
Come on, live up to the "art of the deal". It's double or nothing (as in no trade at all).
-
Our big boy he never fails, he just loses his way a few times before he gets what he wants
-
His people will never have the idea of just not doing it
-
Wonder if this will turn the EU away from the US or the exact opposite. I would think the exact opposite
-
I'd argue that the liberal world order is having its Sino-Soviet moment. If Trump actually does this, the EU will have little choice but to increase trade with China to keep their economy afloat. The trans-Atlantic rift is widening by the day, and Europe does not have many options left.
-
The trans-Atlantic relationship had the unfortunate coincidence of having the word trans in it, so the new US regime had no choice but to consider it woke.
-
The difference is that europe is ruled by a bunch of compradors, publicly they will condemn US but behind closed doors they will fold and their foreign policy won't stray 1cm away from washington line
-
God I hope he does it, but the problem is he flip-flops every fucking week.
-
Please china, come build high speed rail in Europe, I'm begging
-
-
-
Time for more market manipulation I guess?
-
JDPON Don does it again
-
lmao
-
Ah shit! Here we go again!
-
Oh hell yeah
-
Gay or European gonna be really easy with no European imports
-
Is it even questionable at this point whether or not he's taking strong recommendations from someone whose end goal is to destabilize the US, or even the west as a whole?
-
I don't think there's anyone at the wheel at this point. The Trump administration is littered with complete buffoons, led by the biggest, wettest buffoon of them all. The people with the most power are genuinely just extremely stupid and they will not listen to the few competent ghouls remaining. The country is run by failsons, senile geriatrics, tech bros, FOX hosts and WWE wives.
-
It's a ship's bridge full of morons trying to turn full force into an iceberg whilst the rudder has a thousand more slightly less moronic civil servants, advisors, and economists trying to steer it slightly off course into the "1000 year reich" ocean
-
The wealthiest would benefit, either way, as far as I can tell. I'm just kind of clueless what the plan is, when the food runs out in the bunkers and the "winners" have eaten each other and their own family until one remains, unless they've already somehow achieved space colonization and somehow hidden it from the whole world (I don't believe this, btw).
