      Man, it’s almost as if showing weakness makes a fascist come back for more

      >When CNBC asked Trump what would happen if the EU didn’t deliver the investment in full, he gave the perfect Trump answer: “Well, then they pay tariffs of 35%.”

      „We“? He still doesn’t understand, does he? It’s been explained to him so many times, by so many people, and that blockhead still can’t wrap his two braincells around it. It’s terrifying, that such a simple moron is the president of the US. And the people who vote for him are probably even dumber, so I don’t even know how they function day to day…

      Who would have thought that submitting to a mafioso and paying his pizzo would encourage him to come back with more threats?

      Talk softly and carry a big stick – A real american president.

      How come, with all our taxes and wealth, Europe still got the smallest stick out there, it is like our politicians want us to be weak, exploited and extorted.

      If only there had been some allegory for this, perhaps even based on real events, perhaps even based in Europe, involving a people like the Danes, and the money -or geld as they would call it- they demand.

      This is why you don’t bend over and put on the dog collar, because any time he feels like it, he can just yank the leash.

      The bond markets kicked his ass over China because the Chinese simply ignored him. So…

      Perhaps the EU administration should have conducted parallel negotiations with China, Brazil, Canada, and India to coordinate their actions.
      The strength of the United States lies in the disunity of its opponents, but the EU is in a much more precarious situation: it is divided within itself.
      However, it is not too late to rectify the situation.

      Man I wish I could eavesdrop on those negotiations. Trump also described the 600 billion as a gift and not a loan that has to be repaid and that HE can do anything he wants with the money.

      Deserved. May she learn. But let’s be honest neither Leyen or any of our dear leaders ever learn.

      This one is funny… because the EU has a fixed budget with little leeway, so any hard number of spending on anything cannot be met by it. Doesn’t matter if it’s 6 billion or 600, it simply can’t do it.

      I am still convinced he tied support for Ukraine to this deal. I have no proof, but he also raised tariffs on India because they buy Russian oil, it’s just his MO.

      Well done Ursula, you just signalled Europe as the „easy to pick on“ one, and at a time when others are standing up. This happening was the single most predictable thing in all of US-EU relations right now. Act like a coward, expect bullies to treat you like one.

      VdL should quit honestly.

      She is just embarassing 27 countries at once which would be a more than firable offense in any job.

      Decades of letting the US install Neocons throughout every European country has led the world to here. Europe is completely impotent and subservient to US Empire

      Stall and buy time. If he loses congress next year he loses his powers and we can cancel the deal.

      If the Americans let him have congress god help us all, cause we’re all gonna be fucked.

      Overheard in the staff cafeteria.

      “I didn’t think the leopards would eat MY face!”

      You don’t give in to tyrants like putin and Trump. If you fo, then they won’t leave you to be in peace. They want more because they saw their methods work on you.

    23. Mba1956 on

      As the article says Trump only knows win:lose and if you give into him he just comes back for more. He has been playing this game for years so why is anyone surprised.

      You need to tell him to STFU and the bully will back down. Now the EU has just wasted their money and Trump will probably take the $600 billion and invest it in the presidential library.

    24. Alimbiquated on

      I sort of assuming the EU will renege. That’s the reasonable strategy with a guy like that.

    26. StressedTest on

      Yes.
      I think the EU is amazing. Overall it has it’s citizens best interests at heart against corporate greed.

      However, they fumbled this badly. Against an obvious obvious obvious blusterer and conman.

    27. ApostleofV8 on

      So? Say ues and Renegade the deal anyway, thats how Trump is „negotiating“ with everyone. we wont be able to stop him increase tariff on a whim anyway. Negotiation is pointless if he already have no intention of doing it in good faith.
