Fuck yes! I want to stand united against fascism and imperialis!
A united European Army to defend against Russia, China and the US!
United European army Against imperialists
Pick one.
The fascism is already here, the member states are just as susceptible to it. Fight in your own country against the fascists, or the fascists take your United European army for imperialist means.
Please do
I'm certain this was agreed upon in the recent phone conversation between Trump and punting Putin
Great we can keep our good food and wines at lower prices.
It would be pearls before swines if they go to the US.

Time to act like China and not bend to him.
China's strategy worked great, just counter any announced tarrif with an equal reciprocal tarrif and he'll back off eventually. I wonder if we have more or less to loose than China had.
Even if we lose more, we can't back down from a bully. We need to stand strong and roll with the punches

Donโt worry, heโll back down either way. Heโll just claim that heโs made a great deal with EU even if no such deal has been made, and then lower the tariffs again.

Iโm surprised Europe isnโt already boycotting all American products, im Canadian and Iโve actually saved money avoiding their stuff and finding either a local alternative or just going without. Most of the stuff we get from the US is junk food or sugary crap so itโs actually good to avoid them
We are. Some transitions take longer, but food was the easiest. European food is superior anyways.
The EU never really had much in terms of American products, ie food stuffs. The kind of American products the EU has is primarily internet services where there aren't always alternatives (or at least ones that are as polished as the big US ones). Then there's the fact that most people don't even consider a lot of things as American - WhatsApp isn't even recognised as owned by Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook/Meta, for example, for many people in spite of it being overwhelmingly the most popular messaging app in many countries.
Pretty much this. When this hole thing started I swore I'd never buy an American product again, but I quickly realized I didn't buy much of it anyways... The only American food/drink that we have is junk food and soft drinks, i.e. stuff that's easy to avoid or replace

Trump and his friends are making billions off manipulating the stock market by this mechanism.
How much should I bet this time that trump will bitch out
He just literally doesn't give a shit if he is fucking everything up and he's too stupid to do the right thing.
The strategy: Put in some shorts, announce Tarrifs, rake in the cash. Buy an obscene amount of stock on margin, announce a reduction in tariffs, rake in the cash.
The next day: Have Charles Schwab on TV with you to announce how your illegal market manipulation and insider trading have earned the man billions in a day. Every dollar of which was stolen from the retirement of the working class.
I live in a sea of selfish, undereducated, self-sabotaging, brainwashed Americans who are dumb as fuck.

At last, the big unifying moment when we'll stop scrolling through memes and DO something. Yessir, I can feel it! Yep, any second now...
WYM do something?
If you're European or anywhere else watching this clown expediating the demise of the US you need to do absolutely nothing and let him carry on.
If you're in the US IDC. They all deserve what they get, they did nothing about that horrible country when it was trying to be the hegemon and harrassing the rest of the word since they profited and were fine with it.
Now they get a taste of their own medicine they complain but that's about it, they are weak and incapable of real resistance.

Do what exactly? Seems to me like EU leaders are working overtime behind the curtains. Better than also introducing stupid tariffs. Don't fight stupid with stupid.

Donโt worry everyone. Once he and his cronies line their pockets, itโll get reversed. Itโs okay.
He'll back down. He's always backing down.
Must be some sort of adrenaline rush or something, threating big players. Then it wears off and everyone tries to explain he's being an idiot and eventually he backs down.
Edit: Don't forget the tariffs are paid for by ~~us~~ US consumers.
As a Canadian, a little part of me wants him to increase the tariffs even more, to 100%, 200%, 300%, maybe more.
I want the lessons that Trump-voters are currently being taught, by the free market, to be as unambiguous as possible.

Do it. Please. The people need more negative press about the US. It hasn't reach enough people in the EU yet.

there probably is some stuff that the eu makes that the us doesn't.
If he tarriffs those, we should not replg by imposing tarriffs of our own (cutting our own balls off). We should just start increasing our prices for those products, therefore increasing their tarriffs
an export tariff to fight their import tariff? that's one way of saying we dgaf about your tariffs I suppose. And if they end up dropping the tariff because it's hurting them too much, well that'd be the ultimate humiliation.

Have you ever seen such a schlubby looking President? Like his arms are down, shoulders as down as far they can be. Of course he's not doing the accordion hands thing which is sort of a plus for him. That suit looks like off the rack too, I bet he gets them tailored that way heh. He sort of looks like he's giving an 8th grade presentation for his class.
I will say it's highly probable this picture was chosen for those attributes, but it's not like his content or speaking skills would make it better than what is captured in an image. So I'm guessing the image captures the essence of the speech.
