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”
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.

We should compile a list of all the nicknames. There’s been some real good ones. 😂
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.
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
Unabashed idiots.
hiding the head in the sand, pretending everything is normal
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.
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.
That’s a nice idea
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.
Can’t fuck with Denmark and lose access to legos, hence 10%
If you don’t give me what I want, I’ll make the American people pay me more to buy your stuff.
OK.
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.
Sooooooo
When exactly is the entire world going to realize that negotiating ANYTHING with the Cheetos monkey is absolutely useless as he’ll just break any agreement whenever he wants?
Give him a finger and he’ll go for your hand.ngive him your hand and he’ll want your arm
It will never stop untill the entire world goes against him, united. Put up an economic blockade. No more trading with the US, at all, until their entire government has been replaced and overhauled, no more presidents
Yeah, that will be very painful for everyone, I’m sure, but in the lonrun it’ll be worse continuing whatever the fuck this is
If Europe, Asia, Africa, Latin America and Canada can join together in blocking trade with this asshole, he will be fucked
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.
I am still shocked that the party in power is not some ultra conservative one with the way that government administration is operating in the UK.
Well short of a coup or government collapse/dissolution, we’ve got to wait for an election.
We’ve got to hope Polanski and Sultana have got their feet underneath them by then.
As an outsider, am I crazy for thinking the leaders of the smaller more “extreme” parties like Sinn Féin or the SNP keep sounding more reasonable?
More reasonable than who?
The older parties might be done with for now. Labour and Conservative.
SNP isn’t that extreme. It’s actually very very popular in Scotland.
I guess if that part of the problem with calling things extreme is that if you’re extremely far from centre yourself, the centrists sound extreme. So it’s a little hard to answer your question.
The ‘challenger’ parties like Green, “Your Party” and Reform are very popular, especially with the young and the poor.
I think a lot of people expect them to take a lot of local seats and councils in the next few years.
And while Reform has been dragging Labour to the right (with not a lot of protest from Kier, I think), some of these new leftist parties will hopefully drag him back to at least the centre. Just though influencing the soulless polling he seems to use to decide what he cares about in any given month.
More reasonable then labor for sure, I was shocked to see them go authoritarian like they have. At least there is some other parties to move support to that seem to understand that cracking down on the population is somewhat unpopular. Here in Canada we have seemed to ruined all the options on reasonable parties so at least hearing there is traction with new parties gives me some hope.
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.
Ok, I will continue to not sell goods to the states then.
No, no, that’s the point. You should sell them even more (at a higher price).
? why would someone do that, we don’t get those tariffs.
Hell why would any non us entity want to give money in any way to trump?
So that they get so deep into recession that they cannot lie their way out of it? But you make a valid counterpoint.
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.
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 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
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.
