Trump has a long record of never admitting a mistake, but instead, doubles down on his decision. We are stuck with this until someone comes along with a way for him to save face.

for those interested, this is the nonsense he said on live TV
> [The EU has] taken advantage of, I said, you know, we have over $300 billion deficit. They don’t take our cars, they don’t take our farm products, they take almost nothing, and we take everything from them—millions of cars, tremendous amounts of food and farm product.
>…the European Union is really out of line. [The] UK is out of line, but I’m sure—I think—that one can be worked out, **but the European Union is an atrocity, what they’ve done.**
> With the European Union, it’s a $350 billion deficit, so obviously something’s gonna take place there.
>…I wouldn’t say there’s a timeline, but it’s gonna be pretty soon.

Why aren’t we already targeting everything Musk owns?
Ban Tesla, close our airspace to all his SpaceX ships, ban Starlink, ban Twitter.
Are our politicians that afraid that their voters will punish them for inconveniencing them rather than support them defending Europe against the American autocratic regime?

I said it before and i will always repeat it. One country alone cant win a trade war against the US. But China, Canada, Mexico, Taiwan and the EU together can for sure. You dont even have to coordinate for that. I mean they voted for facism because eggs got 2 dollars more expensive, while half the population of china can remember how it is to live trough a famine. Who do you think can endure more.

By now I´m hoping Trump is going to impose tariffs on us. I´m just SO tired of this ´you bad Euro-types, me´s gonna make ya pay cuz you not nice!’.
Do your thing so we can go ahead with this silly trade war you´re so hell bent on starting. At least the news will become somewhat less repetitive.

I hope EU retaliates with blanket tariff to match US
Lets see how their already expensive products sell with that 25% or whatever tariff.
Better yet. Let’s broaden it to include digital and services from USA also.

The people behind Trump are very pro-Russia and speak highly of Putin. You should treat this threat as if Putin took over the US. Things are escalating very quickly.

Germany will probably whimper and fold to any demand he makes. It’s their policy and nature.

The EU needs to be getting ready now. This is coming, time to connect with Canada, Mexico, the UK, get ready for tariffs and ready to respond with tariffs

I really hope the U.K. side with the EU on this and distance ourselves from the US. I never bought that special relationship garbage anyway.

I expect he will soon somehow impose tariffs on California and New York.
