  1. You better buy our stuff or we’re going to tax ourselves to make your stuff more expensive 

  2. Let the threatened countries organize a multinational boycott of the US until we undo all the damage Trump has done to our effort efforts to fight climate change.

  3. “trade with us or we’ll make it harder to trade with us!”

    Great plan. Russia tried that and Europe pivoted to the US. They can pivot to China instead 

  4. Imagine Girl Guides using this approach.

    Little girls threatening to punch themselves in the face until you buy their cookies. They could probably get $50 per box.

  5. Threatening people to do what you want doesnt work. This isnt a Civilization game.

  6. lol, he thinks he’s the king of the world, I live a whole hemisphere away from the US and I can smell Trump’s insecurity from here.

  7. Wait, how are our trade partners (especially Europe) going to need more LNG if he is bringing peace between Ukraine and Russia? If they have peace then they will probably rebuild the Nord pipeline. Literally everything this guy is doing is playing both sides of the coin so that when it lands heads or tails he can either claim victory or blame others. What the what?

  8. This is why I have never believed all those “Trump wants to stop green energy, he can’t” articles. Rules, logic, NONE of these things matter…all that matters is power. And he has it. MAYBE the world could “organize” or whatever against him, but, I strongly doubt it…he has a population that does not care if he actively harms them, and a very likely neutered political opposition, if elections are even allowed in 2 years.

  10. As an Aussie, yeah nah mate we’ll just continue to extract our own, send it to Japan to be processed then buy it back to use here
