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
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.
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!
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?
I think that the US should be split into 50 new independent nations.
All the Republican led ones will slide into third world banana republic dictatorships that soon won't be able to feed their own population, bit that is their own problem. At least the rest of the nations can continue to develop into normal states where people have actual freedom
That's the Republican goal honestly, but they don't seem to understand the eventual ramifications. Without blue states to prop them up financially, what's going to happen? They get to be dictators of dirt piles. The poor folks who can't flee the state will stay and their lives will become hell. A few libertarians might move in, so they can start child prostitution ranches or whatever lights their fire. More or less anarchy, like dual authoritarian/libertarian path that Trump is laying out. Just... scary to think about. I'll have to abandon my beloved historic home in the South, but also, would be nice to not look at a homeless guy sleeping under cardboard a block away (it's 34* F) because these morons won't pass a single tax to improve things. Sigh.
We gotta launch a #FreeCalifornia hashtag or something
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'
I'm absolutely certain he's dying
Don't give me hope like that.
Technically, we all are dying,it's just a matter of how long it will take.
In the Cheetos case, I am hoping it'll be less than a year left
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
- Buy Greenland for his buddies
- Pay for invading Greenland for his buddies
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.
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.
Every country who does not want to be a target for the US needs to urgently develop a nuclear arsenal with intercontinental delivery systems. The world is currently at the mercy of an 80 year old narcissistic toddler for the second time in less than 100 years, the only thing that will stop such a man is strength.
France and England have enough to be a deterrent. I think around 500 between the two of them. And France has like 200 on active deployment, I think because of Russia.
That should read, Trump plans to punish Americans by adding taxes on trade with countries unwilling to abide by his tantrums
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.”
This is legitimately what the conservatives believe, that the EU is "free riding" on bailouts by the US.
He's such a fucking idiot
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

-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
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.
