Sounds good.
The euroweenies being euroweeenies.
MSN is still around? They have, what, 15 in the audience?
Trumps tariffs are a moveable feast. The trade deficit is going down just by the confusions that Trumps up and down tariffs are creating. We have so much Chinese junk here, we are set for at least 5 years. We need to repair more and buy less from the ChiComs.
His timing is impeccable. Make an announcement sure to roil the stock market on a Friday before a holiday weekend. You get 3 days for the price of 2.
BTTT
Fine by me.
Last threat trying to get a deal done, so he’ll settle for less.
The plastic shed i looked at was about $1000 a few months ago. now it it $2200. Not sure if it is tariff related as i wasn’t monitoring it that closely. Maybe when they sign something with China it will go down. I hope.
Yes the EU runs about a $300 billion trade deficit with China, and use the surplus with us to help balance it out. It is unfair trade especially the VAT tax (it’s basically a sales tax on every step of production and procurement - we don’t do that here we exempt wholesale and purchase for productions from sales tax).
They are not happy about our tech companies, most especially free speech. So they go after them. And they go after their own dissenters too - cancelling elections or cancelling political parties and even locking up people who are suspected of offending anyone - not just race or sex or politics or religion the UK locked up a dad and mum for being upset that their school board did not hold an open hiring call for a new headmaster and appointed a crony, then forced the parents to move their kid to another school because the new headmaster was offended and “felt unsafe”. The EU is a mess and a monstrosity. We can only do so much about their internal problems and philosophical disaobut we sure as heck don’t have to subsidize them.
This is what I voted for!
The EU is going to be a tough nut to crack, since it is governed by unelected bureaucrats that are not accountable to anyone.
Even Starmer, who is in theory accountable to his voters, spits in their faces every day.
Flips out?
“Flips out”? Editorialize much? Isn’t this supposed to be a straight news story?
Trumps words sounded perfectly businesslike to me — measured, matter-of-fact, effective. But then, I favor Trump and what he’s doing. Maybe if I hated him I’d say “flips out”, too.
50% is a bit much and that level of tariff will backfire. I am not against tariffs but common sense should play a role in determining how they are levied.
Good for Mr. Trump. It’s long past time to stop treating the EuroLosers like friends. Aside from the Italians (occasionally), they haven’t been our friends for a long time.
I’m fine with 50% on the EU. Not sure what I buy from the Euroweenies anyway.....
Can someone tell me something that I need to buy from the EU?
Trump got tired of the runaround by the communists in the EU.
I’m good with this...
I can live without anything from the EU.
