Donald Trump announces plans to hit the UK, Denmark and other European countries with a 10% tariff on “all or any goods” exported to the US from 1 February
In a post on Truth Social, the US president says these will remain in place until “such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland”
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.
I hate how every news article about tariffs implies that the country is the one being damaged by this. When in reality it’s the us citizens being damaged.
Should read “Trump threatens us citizens with tariff on Greenland…”
The countries are indeed damaged because of it but not even close to as bad as it hurts the US population
i.e US citizens will be paying %10 for stuff imported from these countries
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.
For now. Let’s hope EU leadership has grown a spine since last time :)))
There have been some reports in the last 48 hours that they are talking about scrapping the trade deal with the US (rather than ratifying it as they had been scheduled to do).
It would be a reasonable move, especially since Trump never honours his agreements anyway.
Sounds to me like the UK should just drop all the agreements it made to avoid tariffs and give trumpler a solid kick in the balls.
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.
If you don’t give me what I want, I’ll make the American people pay me more to buy your stuff.
OK.
Yep. And at this point, any EU company who hasn’t made steps towards not relying on the US market deserves the shitstorm coming their way
It’s one man’s war against the world and we could treat it like that rather than respond to the USA we should use trident, remove the Nukes from the missile and load with tungsten rods, then use it like oreshnik as a ICBM sniper rifle to take out Trump. Surface off the coast and turn Mar a lago into a crater. It’s a huge waste of resources to do anything else.
It’s more than “one man”, even though he is a major contributor to the chaos.
There are a lot of other horrble people standing in the shadows pulling Trump’s puppet strings.
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.
Hitler was actually clear from the start about making Germany great again and immigrants, foreigners and jews being ‘undesirable’. Oh wait.
And Hitler was perfectly fine with just deporting Jews, to Madagascar I believe was his idea until it turned out to be a stupid and impractical idea. So I guess Trump is just at the pre-mass murder stage right now.
It wasn’t just the jews… The Nuremberg laws also included “Gypsies, Negroes, and their bastards”.
Why not both?
he’s willing to cause a civil war AND a world war over it, lol. makes me wonder who Bubba is.
I think Trump is just obsessed with the thought of having the legacy of expanding US’ borders. I bet he thinks all scandals will be forgotten but you can’t forget how the territory was expanded.
We remember, hundreds of years later, we remember. We tore down monuments to them, we will tear down those you erect for yourself even faster.
If any of this audio is true it’s way way more damning than I imagined: https://lisevoldeng.substack.com/p/dont-worry-boys-are-hard-to-find

We should compile a list of all the nicknames. There’s been some real good ones. 😂
Translation:
Trump is raising taxes on Americans so he can
- Buy Greenland for his buddies
- Pay for invading Greenland for his buddies
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.
We sure need to double up on cutting loose from data storage at microslop, google, apple amazon etc. I’m not to worried about apps/software. As long as we have your data, we’ll figure it out.
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
Unabashed idiots.
hiding the head in the sand, pretending everything is normal
Tarrif away shittler.
Wait, does Trump just want a bigger pedophile island than his buddy Epstein had?
Ah, the irony jokers, i remember when they won ww2 with their wit.
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.
Wish the military would arrest him
