Trump originally imposed a 20 percent tariff on EU goods but this has been suspended until July and negotiators are now seeking to avoid a full trade war over the tariffs if this level comes into force.

      Donnie is used to having the leverage. He can’t even consider the possibility that he doesn’t inherently have leverage. Combined with the fact he doesn’t know how to handle politics, we end up here.

      He treats everything like his only tool is a crowbar, because that’s all he’s ever known, it’s worked, and he’s too stupid and dementia-riddled for any alternative at this point.

      I really think Trump just wants some win for his ego and to present to his followers. I don’t think he will keep asking for more money, or at least we will make it clear, that we will not go along with further demands. As long as the stuff were buying is needed here and we buy it at the normal market rate I think we should do it for economic stability

        Are you familiar with the term “appeasement”? Or the children’s book If You Give a Mouse a Cookie? The demands don’t stop here and giving in to them will only embolden Trump further.

      We actually manufature more stuff now than we did during the “golden age” of manufacturing in the '60s and '70s. Significantly more, like 300% more. We just automated the shit out of everything we could, so we do it with 1/1000 the people working.

    Fortune.com. hmmm, I wonder if they are media representing the working class?

    Strange that they would hold the stance of “just spend a ton of money on yankie shit”

    „Solve“ meaning it‘s a long shot and „Very quickly“ meaning it would only be short term. Trump can not be trusted as a partner so your only choice is to walk away, really.

    Ah yes, we all know it’ll end here. Trump is known for his consistency.
