Summary
Donald Trump has announced plans to impose 25% tariffs on the European Union, claiming the bloc was “formed to screw the United States.”
While details are pending, he suggested the levies would target cars and other imports. The EU, a major U.S. trading partner, has vowed immediate retaliation, with potential tariffs impacting $29.3 billion in exports.
French President Emmanuel Macron had attempted to dissuade Trump, urging focus on China instead.
Critics, including economists and conservative media, warn the tariffs could harm the U.S. economy.
Mmm… Orangutan starts throwing shtuff at all the other apes and then complains when they don’t want to hang out with him any more
What a ferkin ashole
Oh my gosh, this is so fucked up.
welp, orange donvict did promote his platform as “America First!”.
The EU was formed for America First!
The EU was formed to screw the US… THE EU WAS FORMED TO SCREW THE US?! Bruh dude is possibly channeling Hitler and Stalin simultaneously. That’s the only thing that makes sense. Or he’s terminally dumb. One of the two.
Definitely channeling Putin.
terminally dumb
This one
I think it’s both
Trump’s tariffs: Swinging a 25% hammer while shouting, “They started it!”—peak trade war theatrics.
😺😺😺😺
Someone fucking ball gag this rapist to shut him up.
Kinky.
He’s not completely wrong. One of the benefits EU provides is better bargaining power for its members against countries like the US.
Sanctions or tariffs on any individual EU country would likely lead to collective response.
Almost like a certain military alliance this asshole wants out of. Hmmm…
Maybe replace them with Ukraine. I here they have great drone technology.
Time for Ukraine to join the EU quickly. Tariff his precious minerals.
Orange fuckwit.
I still hope Zelenskyy is coming here Friday to announce that they decided to take the deal from Germany, and Zelenskyy ends the press conference with a double bird for Trump. It won’t happen but man I would love Zelenskyy even more if he did.
You never know, he just might
We’re trying!
Try harder. EU takes longer to make a decision than a sloth on ketamine
sloth on ketamine
Elon?
Inb4 EU and Canada signs a great trade deal just to screw over Trump.
He already blinked on the Canada tariffs. Put it off another month. We didn’t even pretend to do anything to appease him this time.
canadians should continue to buy canadian or the EU, asian anD SA. remember when china no longer needed soybeans from usa the last tariff he did.
I don’t see that he’s put it off. He’s all over the place about it, as usual, but it’s still a possibility.

Bloomberg is reporting it’s pushed back to April 2:
But you’re right, he’s all over the place about it.
As an American, I agree. They should.
We already have a good deal. CETA just need to be taken advantage of
Surely this will lower egg prices!
This is all done in the name of citizen consumers right? Trying to make life better for the good folks that voted for him?
Country that has been screwing every other country for 80 plus years accuses other countries of screwing it.
Trump pretends to be a victim in everything, so this is nothing new
It seems to be a cornerstone of conservatism.
It’s like how PP up in Canada stubs his toe and blames Trudeau for it.
Trudeau put the coffee table there, and he would get rid of it if the people would just elect him.
And with a tarrif, shows who is screwing who.
I believe the German government holds the information about the loans/payments from Russia, through Cyprus, to Deutsche Bank and then to the orange stain. The EU is better prepared than the Government of Putin. Game on motherfuckers and the US consumers better be ready to buy shitty Russian built Lada’s.
Yes, please, do that. I’m so curious who will he blame when the dollar will be 0.54 euros
Obama, of course.
The Orange Turd has found his favorite word and he will use it for everything!
His children who wants to be in the will? Tariff!!!
Tariffing the school canoe? Oh, you better believe that’s a tariff!
Got the neighbor girl tariffed? Believe it or not, straight to tariffs.
He’s such a petulant little baby. Macron corrected me, now I’m mad. 😭🍼👶🫃 Fuck Putin Puppet.
