The Official "Damned Trump" Thread: Phase II

[Leonardo17]

This war on tariffs is really not a joke. Emanuel Macron had very strong words for Trump today with D. Trump still remaining defiant. Ursulla Von Der Leien said that the previous trade deal with the US (with no tax for US goods entering Europe and %15 taxes for most European goods entering the US) would be cancelled if Trumps puts new tariffs on European countries. This is the Bazooka or Anti-coercion act that was adopted in 2023.

 

German and French wine producers are gradually turning toward Asian markets.

 

I don’t know if D. Trump understands the true meaning of “economic war”. It means less profit for companies, dislocation of companies and job losses and decrease of income for ordinary people.

 

If populist leaders keep coming to power like this there will be no NATO, no UN, no EU, no international law, just some power centers in constant warfare with one another, very likely something like George Orwell 1984 Novel.

 

I don’t see any other logic here. He is really trying to blow everything up.
