    Donald Trump has said he will impose tariffs on the European Union if the bloc does not make up its “tremendous” trade deficit with the United States.

    “I told the European Union that they must make up their tremendous deficit with the United States by the large-scale purchase of our oil and gas,” he wrote on Truth Social. “Otherwise, it is TARIFFS all the way!!!”

  7. In a few years nobody needs the US and those stupid americans anymore. Have fun with President Musk and his fat stooge.

  8. He will threaten everyone at least once a day. Can we limit the posts about him here? To once a week. Please

  9. “Trump threatens Europe with X” “Putin threatens Europe with Y”

    Two exceptionally shitty leaders clearly feel threatened by Europe, this means we are doing something right.

  10. This really feels like Trump learned a new word. Like a kid when you accidentally say “fuck” and he starts repeating it because he never heard of it.

    Here is why it’s not gonna happen. Establishment will not let him. Including his own people. Because they import luxury goods from the EU.

    And there is zero benefit for them in this. No matter how they go about it – US will lose on this.

  11. These 4 years will be a lesson to US. It’s just sad so many innocent people will suffer.

  12. If you want to buy Bourbon, Levi Jeans, a Tesla or a Harley, now is the time. EU will strike with ~~sanctions~~ tariffs states that voted for this idiot.

  13. And, conveniently, forgets to mentions that tariffs are a burden on his citizens and not on the other country xD

  14. It’s time to put up tarrifs on data selling, would offset easily whatever trump puts in place.

    All those tech giants getting on so far for free anyway.

    I’m sure if we include data harvesting into the mix Europe is the one with a deficit.

  15. This is the new Mendelev threatens Europe with nukes

    Sorry Erdo wait for your turn for your weekly threat to Europe with jihadist refugee

  16. Id laugh at him and how fucking stupid he is, but remember, 52% voted for him. 52% wanted this orange Neanderthal to be their leader and are most likely cheering right now, because they’ll pay 25-50% more for European products. Complete brain rot.

  18. Manchild screeches incoherently at anyone is no longer a story

  19. I don’t know why but I stop reading after “Trump threatens…”. Maybe because it is usually a random topic with a relevance between 0 and 1. It would greatly help to ease the stress in the next four years if the press would stop amplifying each and every dung pile Трамп creates. Yes, looking you German public media as well. And reddit. I mean, reposting telegraph on a daily bases cannot be healthy. #endrant

  20. Counter statment : America is great, Trump is great, maybe the best ever. And in order to help Trump EU will immediately offer to raise tarfis on Teslas 250% so Anericans have more Teslas to drive

  21. He loves tariffs. He admits they are the best thing and wants to replace taxes with tariffs. Source: Patrick Boyle.

  22. Place 200% tariffs on Tesla cars and Starlink services. Look at how quickly Trump starts talking of “the big, beautiful relationship we have with our beloved trade partners and allies in Europe”. 

  23. Could be fun if we said fuck it, lets brace for the next 4 years and let the moron sail his own sea

  26. He wants us to buy american wares? lower your prices to competitive on our markets? Moron!

  28. Yup let’s fuck it up for everybody during a time in which the U.S. and Europe faces geopolitical threats like never before!

  30. Europe threatens me with VAT on imports every time I buy something from the US , disgusting /s

  31. Professional yapper keeps yapping bullshit he doesn’t understand

  33. Makes sense for him, he will probably not live long enough to experience the negative side effects. Short term, this might benefit and strengthen the US economy, but if US products remain more expensive, Europe will become more creative and less dependent of the US. So in the long run, this will hurt the US more than they benefit in the short term. But he won’t notice that in his coffin.

  34. Do it. The faster he turns everything to shit, the faster people will realize his inadequacy.

  37. Fuck you old fart.

    The faster we decouple from that insane country, the better.

  38. He doesn’t care about tarrifs, if nothing happens he’ll claim credit for whatever deal is made.

  40. Europe feels like when 50 cent said “Why’d he say fuck me for?”

  42. If he puts up tariffs for the whole world, the other countries will rather trade with each other instead of the US

  43. Seems like he’s copying from Putin’s book of making false threats to make it seem as if he were the big strong man that he wishes he was.

    I don’t know what his term as a president will do to impact the world but I know that the U.S people will likely suffer the most from it, because he is such a boot licking bastard that would happily sell the country for a bigger stake in some random company that sells the blood of children.

  44. He’s like the Queen of hearts screaming “off with his head”

  45. His entire cabinet is made of billionares, just tariff Tesla and the like.

  46. He **threatens** Canada, he **threatens** Europe, he **threatens** left and right, threaten threaten threaten – its just childish and I won’t even give this attention. So do it, great President Trump. Guess what will happen? Your own prices will go higher and higher due to stifling imports. Send out immigrant workers, your prices will increase even further!
    Am I the only one feeling **so exhausted and fatigued** to even read headlines around Trump, in his first presidency we already witnessed the childish attitude and provoking headlines with threats and false claims. No thanks… I don’t even care anymore.

  48. Trump’s one-trick pony; Tariffs
    putin’s one-trick pony: nuclear weapons

  49. If Trump was a Pokemon, he’d be Magikarp because he only has one move and it’s fucking useless
