Putin's running dog as usual.
Oh, FFS. That shit punishes US.
This motherfucker has lost his fucking mind. He is so desperate to distract from the Epstein files that he is trying to start WW3.
WW3 and a Greater Depression.
Make America Great Depression Again

Yeah I'm sure they're really worried.
Imagine how screwed we'd all be if he had a whole IQ point.
God I hate what my country has become. No country is perfect or will ever be, but I can no longer say I'm proud to be an American. Fucking sad.
I don't want to be American. At least, not for THIS America. Hopefully, the Blue States will break off from Dogey America and proceed to curbstomp the fuckers into oblivion.
You were proud to be American before Trump?
No kidding. The US was never "great" and I say that as an American. This country has sucked for my entire life and it's only now that a lot of Americans are finally waking up to that reality.
Time to see whether our elected representatives here have any spine ...
Oh man I've been waiting for us to have an excuse to tariff them. For one thing, we need to get Canadians to stop buying anything from the US, there are too many Canadians that don't seem to learn... At least with tariffs in place, the die-hard MAGA Canadians that insist on buying America will fund our economic development.
Also we get to put the squeeze on the US. I say we start with potash, or maybe hydro. Hit the essentials first.
After all, we should just assume he's going to tariff us no matter what we do. He'll use China as an excuse, he'll use the F35s as leverage, no matter what we do he'll renege on it, the same way he did on his own CUSMA. Just do what we need to do and lie to him, pretend we're doing everything we can, buy time and keep diversifying. Buy the Gripens, negotiate the deal in secret if needed so you don't need to announce it until the last minute. At this point don't commit to anything with the US. Delay, delay, delay.
So sick of this BS, and the idiots that think other countries pay anything.
Peace in our time.
Quiet, Piggy!
Once people realize if we all collectively so NO they can't do a damn thing.
He'll demand the Sudentland and Austria next.
Bring it. He'll tariff us anyways for being rude to his ambassador or some shit anyway.
Fuck Hoekstra and fuck Trump.
Too bad that turtle fence couldn't keep Hoekstra out.
Then an hour later he will forget what he said in a meeting he slept through and change his mind.

No one can escape punishment from a mentally deranged felon. He even murdered his closest friend over some files, so take that as you will.

So he is going to reneg on his agreements at this point? At this point he has attacked everyone so he can fuck off. If you agree to him he'll just move the goal post again. He is like a any gangster.
Most gangsters understand that constant reneging will make the victims start fighting back. They want their rackets to be boring and reliable.
PLS TARRIF US, I DONT WANT US PRODUCTS ANYWAY
Repeal the DMCA clone laws in every country.
That's what will actually hit the fuckers bankrolling this guy.
Yup. Do that and you can make an alternative App store for Iphones, give a 90% discount, eat Apples lunch, and still make 30 Billion.

Do it, pussy. We're not buying your shit anyway. The USA can go fuck itself.
I'm from the USA and we definitely need to go fuck ourselves with a dried pineapple
It's the other way around, he is putting tariffs on American imports, so it will be harder for us to sell to USA.
I'm not interested in doing business with America until they can get their shit together.
Honestly, I've been in favor of a full embargo since this whole 'trade-war' bullshit kicked off. Strengthen trade with other nations while showing America they don't control the global economy.

Cool cool cool. Yeah I'm sure Americans LOVE paying tariffs and they will thank you for even more price rises.
DO IT. I'm sure it will achieve the best poll ratings ever. No president or any leader in the history of humanity was as popular and as supported and as amazing as the orange pedo!
Oh yeah make your people pay for your stupidity
That is precisely what, "his people", are for in his eyes. There is no one but him in his world.

He's already threatening to escalate to a kinetic war and then returns to threaten a trade war which he already started.
Is that supposed to be the master negotiator?
The Shart of the Steal
The idea of a kinetic war with Europeans is horribly unpopular in the US so this is him scrambling.

Pedolf Diddler, where are the rest of the fucking Epstein files?!?
Adolf Trumpler will start WW3 just do distract from the Eppstein Files
He means punish us, right? Because that's how fucking tariffs work you orange fascist dickhead.
Okay, do it, because I vehemently stand with Greenland.
This is a position that I’m willing to go through a lot of pain and consequence to support.
Greenland is all of us, and if Greenland falls we all are fucked.
Amen. It's time to decouple if he goes that far.
The only reason Trump is doing this is to get the USA out of NATO for Putin. The reason he works for Putin is because Putin has some very compromising pictures and videos of Trump, involving children and possibly pee
The reason he works for Putin is that he's been laundering money for the Russian mob since the 1980s, and he has learned to do as they tell him while imagining he's making his own decisions.
