I guess Europeans thought Mr. Trump was joking when he said "America first" would be the major and overriding theme of his administration.

Winning. There's been so much!

Socialism can’t compete with Capitalism and Freedom.

THAT is why the EU hates this bill.

Eunuchs Undivided = EU.

This is my Cheshire Cat face....

I have mine on as well, particularly when I got to the end:

"The US also proposes to play unfairly by taxing profits that have already been taxed in Europe, Hentze said, concluding: "The underlying message to multinational companies is: If you produce here in the US, you will be spared the double taxation.""

>> “European finance ministers are worried. They say the United States’ big tax reform bill contains measures that would unfairly disadvantage European business and contravene global fair-taxation rules. Are they right?” <<

Who the F___ cares ?????????????

Go Trump!

Don’t think this is over. I predict the Dems will seek an injunction to stop it.

Die EU. Just DIE!

European citizens might start wanting some Trump in their day? Scares the living shite out of their hold on the little people.

[2001convSVT]

Yes the EU needs to worry as corporation start to relocate to the US lower tax zone! A tremendous win for the US people.

[robroys woman]

There are no “official” global rules. :)

i.e. WINNING!

[arkfreepdom]

Well there you have it. If anyone had a doubt this was a good bill this should answer the question.

[joethedrummer]

The EU globalists can just suck it.

[blackdog]

Last I checked we were not a member of the EU. Besides, just get the word out that our EBT cards don’t work there.

[Psalm 73]

"They say the United States' big tax reform bill contains measures that would unfairly disadvantage European business and contravene global fair-taxation rules."

When you're the BSD of the planet you get to say what's fair - don't like it, pound sand.

1) Bath-house Barry would be pointing at that sign with the adjacent finger.

2) EU drones can bugger off. We’re not part of the EU. If they get sufficiently snippy, we can always quit funding their pathetic little military establishments. See how they like taking care of themselves for a change.

[Avalon Memories]

I wonder what part of too damned bad the “international community” does not get. At least half of the American people are sick and tired of being Uncle Sucker to the world.
