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”
Carpet ban on US/foreign tech in the EU/UK. With per-company issued licences afterwards.
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.
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.
OK. So anyway, did you know that that fleas jump?
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
His favorite hammer.
If Europe grows a back bone and actually starts a full on Trade War with the US, I wouldn’t be surprised if China joined in. I could see them carefully timing their action to maximize damage.
China doesn’t even need to really join. They can just announce “looks like US bonds are losing value and we’re going to sell crapload of them in order to secure our investments”. No need to mention trade wars or do anything else.
Sigh. All this means is that these countries will stop buying goods from the US. Another smooth brained move from the dotard.
A disgrace. This has to be fought or it will not end here.
The truths in the Epstein Files must be devastating when the tangerine turd tries so hard to distract from them.
he’s willing to cause a civil war AND a world war over it, lol. makes me wonder who Bubba is.
Bill Clinton’s nickname was Bubba, Ghislaine Maxwell’s horse was also named Bubba.
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.
Trying to impress putin
Honestly it would be great if the other countries released whatever they have on Epstein and Trump. The UK at a minimum has to have a ton of dirt hidden away from when that ghoul in the royal family got publicly shamed fo it.
Not Russia because they can’t be trusted of course.

We should compile a list of all the nicknames. There’s been some real good ones. 😂
Mango Mussolini is still my fav
Cheeto Benito
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.
He is, but the Epstein files is the one thing his base has actually reacted to with possibly disgust. They are fine with literally everything else he does.
So this is a case of him being a power hungry fuck that also works well to distract from the one thing that might cause consequences. It can be two things.
the Epstein files is the one thing his base has actually reacted to with possibly disgust.
Jealousy. Not disgust.
If there’s one thing his base are good at it is ignoring the truth. I seriously doubt they would believe the content of the Epstein files to be true, even if Donald Trump directly said they were.
at some point you guys need to admit it, the guy is a power hungry lunatic.
some of us have been shouting this at the top of our lungs for years
Why not both?
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”.
… who just happens to associate with the known pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Doesn’t matter if it’s power over girls or countries… power hungry is power hungry.
Los dos, my people.
Weeeeeelll, the Nazis had illegally taken out a bunch of loans and hidden that fact with financial trickery. That’s how they managed to pay for rearmament. All those loans were coming due, the Nazis couldn’t pay and didn’t want to admit what they’d done so yeah, they invaded Poland. I mean, it wasn’t purely distraction, they also hoped to seize gold and foreign currency in Polish possession but distraction was a huge part of it.
Back when debt was something to reckon with instead of just being a an infinite money exploit for trillionaire speedruns.
Eventually we’ll find out both Hitler and Churchill are in the Epstein files.
Between the Haavara Agreement and all that crap with Prince Andrew, I honestly wouldn’t be surprised.
Not the guy but vast majority of americans are lunatics
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
Rename Greenland to Epsteinland and watch trump never mention it again.
Oh no. Anyway…
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
who tf cares? just stay the course and decouple from the US
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.”
If he’s stupid then what’s that say about us?
Tariffs are taxes on the importer, not the exporter. They are taxing themselves
They are a de facto consumption tax which disproportionately affect the less well off.
Impose tarrifs. Crash businesses. Buy up businesses. Lift tarrifs. Profit.
By making the American poor people pay them, they transfer more wealth to the captital class by contracting out jobs to their buddies. Also, it huts sales for the exporters, so its win win for him.
Capitalism doesn’t scale well with democracy.

americans have been getting stupider, by design. education has been defunded and shat upon for many years by republicans talking about “critical thinking is bad” and “we need mandatory jesus in schools” in order to make your kids as dumb as possible, because it takes a special kind of stupid to vote republican, which is the ultimate goal.
yes, a disturbingly large percentage of americans are fucking paralyzingly stupid. we have a racist, rapist pedophile con man in the white house, and legions of sheep, pledging their undying loyalty to it. why? because they’re fucking stupid
Don’t assume the people who didn’t vote for him are apart of the stupid.
We know how many of these idiots are. 71+ Million.
“apart” has almost an opposite meaning to “a part” in this context, though “apart from” would make more sense than “apart of.”
I didn’t ask for a grammar nazi, thank you. There’s already enough nazism around.
Seems like you’re a part of it, unfortunately.
I didn’t vote for him, so fuck you.
I didn’t say you did.
I see what you did there.
Types out the opposite of what they meant
Gets corrected and has a tantrum
…calls antifascists nazis
Hmmmmm
Oh you sweet, simple child…
Edit: I made them mad…
Gotta love when you get personal hate mail
Right?
Thanks for posting that, they’re blocked.
Exactly

This is legitimately what the conservatives believe, that the EU is “free riding” on bailouts by the US.
Sanction how personal properties including golf courses, hotels, and other industries. It’s the only language he understands
