  2. HAHAHAHAHAH

    And this is why you never give in to bullies. He never wanted even tariffs – he just wants some external force to point out to his cult members & tell them to fear & hate it. To blame it for what he’s actually doing to them.

    This is literally straight out of Mein Kampf, and his loser followers still don’t care.

  3. > “They need to buy and commit to purchasing an amount equivalent (to this trade deficit) in energy,” Trump said.

    Surely he can’t be serious… You can’t just ship electricity across the Atlantic Ocean, and why would they buy American fossil fuels when it’s cheaper to either locally source them or buy from the Middle East?

  4. Lol is the only response. Adios America, adios first world lifestyle.

  5. I get tariffing one nation, maybe two.

    Dude’s picking a fight with the whole world right now (well…minus Russia, North Korea, and Belarus… strange)

    Its A Bold Strategy Cotton, Lets See If It Pays Off For Erm

  6. The man is a complete and utter moron. His basic lack of understanding on every single topic is mind boggling.

  7. Congress people don’t check their portfolios anymore or what?!

  8. Zero for zero is the best possible deal with both sides leaving happy. And he STILL doesn’t want it.

    This is why we’re doomed. I truly don’t think Trump will survive until the end of his term, either impeachment or an angry mob will take him down.

  9. seen part of his interview where he says he likes bad economy coz he can buy stuff there, but can’t do shit in good one coz everything is so expensive. he is just racketeer and oligarch nothing else to it. maybe he wants to also create “external threat” to be like pootin

  10. His small simplistic brain can’t comprehend that both countries benefit when they trade. He thinks there always has to be a winner and a loser.

  12. This mf is priming his base to back the use of the military.
    He’s setting up an excuse to take Greenland and botch EU rearmament as well as support to Ukraine.

    Mf. Him and everyone who supports him

  14. The US has the privilege of having the world’s reserve currency and becoming so obscenely rich from that privilege that they can buy tons of stuff from everybody else, and that’s apparently a huge problem?

  16. What Trump is trying to do with tariffs is create money flows where his henchmen can sit directly over the lines of commerce so they can control and divert monies to Trump and themselves. This is exactly what Putin does. Anyone who thinks there is any other than theives at work here is kidding themselves.

  17. Buy more usa weapons?   You mean the ones you bragged about bricking in Ukraine at the start of a Russian offensive.

    Also need usa permission to give away 30 year old paid for kit to Ukraine.

    Also bragged about selling shit versions of usa weapons as allies don’t remain allies. 

  18. The American people have made their choice. Time to get them to the real world.

    We can sanction anyone threatening us and trump and his friends and supporters should be our first targets.
    Talking openly about getting Greenland, is enough reason to sanction them.
    Why treat him special compared to anyone else, we have tools and now we can use them.

  20. Trump wants the US to manufacture everything by itself. Like North Korea

  21. Gotta love how alt-rightera complain about how, idk, trans people are victims, then say that literally everything that they dint like was made to victimize them.
    Trump saying EU was formed to spite the USA is such ego.

  22. rejecting zero for zero tariffs means it was never about whatever hell reason trump said the tariffs was for.

  23. It was never about the deficit? What? Crazy.
    Next you’ll tell me the war against Canada has nothing to do with fentanyl….

  24. His master, Putin, will be angry. All this has done is unify the European continent. It’s brought Canada closer to us. We’ll be looking east for trade deals.

  25. You’re the RICHEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. Stop acting like you’re some victim… it’s so pathetic and bitchy.

  26. Again let’s not pretend this is Trump’s actions.

    This is fully sanctioned by the republican party. Every single action.

    They can easily put a stop to this, and don’t. Because it’s their plan.

    Trump is just a useful idiot.

  27. What a narcissist. Next he will be saying the EU was formed to hurt him personally. Jeez.

  29. He would know a thing or two about doing damage to the US. He’s done it so many times he has become somewhat of an expert.

  30. Trump: I want fair trade.

    Also Trump after presenting 0-0 tariffs: I don’t care about fair trade. Just give me money.

  31. As Italian I’m never going to eat food produced in US, I’m sorry but I value my health too much

  32. Donald Trump does not understand what a trade deficit actually is.

    It may not even crack the top dozen of basic economic concepts he doesn’t understand, but it’s still funny to reflect on how many idiot Republicans worship this loser.

    We really need to bring shaming conservatives back in the limelight. I’m sick and tired of treating the Fox News brainwashed devotees with kid gloves as they destroy the world with their incompetence.

  34. But… What does he want, then? 

    Like, 0 is the lowest it goes, right?

    It’s like asking the waiter to turn down the music as low as it goes, because you want it quiet, and they turn it off for you, and you go, “No! I want it MORE off!” 

    Like… What? 

    This is one of the many truly baffling things about the current administration– they won’t even tell anyone what they want.

  35. “*The European Union has been very, very bad to us, they don’t take our cars…*”

    Because ours are more efficient, made better, and are safer.

    “*…they don’t take our agricultural product*”

    Same argument; ours isn’t laced with who-knows-what because we actually have protections in place for animals, land, and people.
