I'm absolutely certain he's dying and thinks he can make the legacy he leaves behind 'America was at it's territorial height under President Trump' instead of 'Donald Trump lied, cheated, and stole his way into the US presidency, thus weakening America forever'
If you don't give me what I want, I'll make the American people pay me more to buy your stuff.
OK.
Oh, no. The Americans are taxing themselves again to own the libs
Tariff the libs to spiderface
Not sure we care anymore, since the free trade agreement between EU and Mercosur was signed today. We don’t really need to trade with the US anymore. South America provides a huge export market for our products, and they supply better quality agricultural imports than the US can anyway.
As an Australian I am hoping this fastrackts the Australian one with the EI but our government is so far up the US's arse, possibly were getting pressure from the US not to.
Anything that brings the world closer together is a good thing!
The truths in the Epstein Files must be devastating when the tangerine turd tries so hard to distract from them.
It's like saying Hitler attacked Poland and organised holocaust just to distract the German public... No, at some point you guys need to admit it, the guy is a power hungry lunatic.
... who just happens to associate with the known pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Doesn't matter if it's power over girls or countries.... power hungry is power hungry.
Los dos, my people.
at some point you guys need to admit it, the guy is a power hungry lunatic.
some of us have been shouting this at the top of our lungs for years
Hitler was actually clear from the start about making Germany great again and immigrants, foreigners and jews being 'undesirable'. Oh wait.
Rename Greenland to Epsteinland and watch trump never mention it again.
Sanction how personal properties including golf courses, hotels, and other industries. It's the only language he understands
Block their service sector from the EU market. Boycott US products. And see how they will fare. It is about time we take a firm stance and show this demented idiot, that he cannot bully us.
how is that even need to be suggested. the US have threatened the EU, with a literal invasion. getting rid of US technology is a matter of basic national defense!!! also evicting all US military bases!!!
In the meantime my government company just announced that will be using Copilot… fucking sad
Wait, does Trump just want a bigger pedophile island than his buddy Epstein had?
How's that policy of appeasement and boot-licking going now, Kier?
Starmer really thought that being a doormat for the playground bully meant he would get to keep his lunch money.
Translation:
Trump is raising taxes on Americans so he can
Oh I see so now he's angry at everyone. Not that I think that America should be able to get Greenland but even if I did it's not as if say the UK or France has any say on the matter, so why are they being tariffed?
France, UK and most of Europe are part of NATO and in recent days have sent small military forces to Greenland to show that, unlike the US, they will honour their alliances.
Trump is trying to break NATO because it's what daddy Putin wants him to do.
I really don’t think that Trump is taking these orders from Putin. Trump is jealous of Putin’s power and wants to seem stronger so he needs a land-grab to make his pee-pee seem bigger.
Americans are being tariffed...not Europeans.
This man's stupidity has no boundaries.
"Donald Trump, who says on Truth Social that the US has subsidised Denmark and the European Union for many years by not charging them tariffs.”
If he's stupid then what's that say about us?
Tariffs are taxes on the importer, not the exporter. They are taxing themselves
By making the American poor people pay them, they transfer more wealth to the captital class by contracting out jobs to their buddies. Also, it huts sales for the exporters, so its win win for him.
Don't assume the people who didn't vote for him are apart of the stupid.
We know how many of these idiots are. 71+ Million.
Oh you sweet, simple child...
Edit: I made them mad...
"apart" has almost an opposite meaning to "a part" in this context, though "apart from" would make more sense than "apart of."
This is legitimately what the conservatives believe, that the EU is "free riding" on bailouts by the US.
Trump again plays the dumbest card available
He's redefining the phrase "playing the Trump Card" to mean the worst possible thing you can do.
It's ruined euchre for me
Thanks, Obama!
Taxing Americans because other countries don't support his dementia fueled fever dreams of conquest. Yup, that'll teach 'em.
no taxation without representation is an anti trump slogan now
No country ever in the history of trade itself would ever give up land or risk war over a 10% tariff.
In fact, 10% is pretty pathetic even compared to Trump's other tariffs. I'm wondering if this is his way of pretending to care about Greenland while not actually doing anything majorly impactful.
Alright I just won't buy stuff from America like I already have been for like the last 11 months
It's the other way, tariffs on import to the US.
So can we (i.e. Europe) finally stop appeasing him? Full on trade war? We know he eventually backs down, he's show it with China.
I liked central bank people supporting Powell recently, that felt like a step in the right direction. (First time anyone from Switzerland, my country, has shown any balls anyway.)
1000% tariff on all American goods.
1000000% increase on taxation for American tech companies
The real solution is to invalidate US copyright in European territories. Also listen to Doctorow and throw out the dcma like laws and blow out the monopoly on tech the us has enjoyed.

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
