It is important that the U.S. government's rights over domestic tax policy be exercised in a way that adheres with international obligations to which it has signed-up.

Translation: The EU controls US tax codes (but we don't care what any other nations do). The Big Bad US is stealing our jobs but we don't want to lower our own taxes.

The U.S. government does not have rights - it has POWERS.

Trump ran as a disruptive force against the status quo. This is just following through on that promise. If it is not good for America, he will change it. He is not perfect, but no president in several decades has actually followed through on campaign promises like Trump.

Here is a funny article from CNN, criticizing Trump for actually keeping his promises, and pushing that he hasn't kept all of them (in his first year!). No mention of those blocking him...

Donald Trump -- keeper of promises

Today all the EU Countries voted against the US or abstained in the UN vote to condemn the US for moving its Embassy to Jerusalem so we should just start by giving the US taxpayers another break by cutting all foreign aid by 50% and funding to the UN by 100%.

So, Ireland can have very, very low corporate tax rates (14% ???), sufficiently low to attract Apple Computer’s intellectual property, and to run up $250 billion or so of profits not taxed by the US, but WE can’t lower our rates to stop that kind of outflow?

Hey, EU, consult with your Italian compatriots to understand my position (and, likely, President Trump’s also) on this matter, to wit: BAFANGULE!!!!!!

Oh, BTW, we’ll raise our tax rates again when your send over your army and force us to do so. I understand that there are plans afoot to arm the grandmothers of all of our Girl Scouts to greet you at the beaches - so don’t expect to see Eurabia ever again.

“The United States is Europe’s single most important trade and investment partner,” the finance ministers wrote.

As filtered through Trump’s thought: They need us. We don’t need their fancy wines and beers and cheeses and tiny cars. So we got leverage. They don’t. Time to win again.

The Nazis took the Frogs almost without firing a shot. They had the Brits by the balls...and squeezing hard. IF it had not been for the USA, they’d ALL be speaking German now. The gall of these EuroWeenie POSs to tell us what our tax code should be or not be???? FU, EuroWeenies!!!!
Well guess what? You clowns over there are being invaded by islam with your global so-called govt. elites welcoming them in by the millions. It’s an invasion that even Hitler, himself, could only dream about pulling off. He’d be grinning ear to ear while commending his generals for it. And when the islamic SHTF in your faces and you’re frantically begging to be freed from beheadings, sharia law, etc. I hope to God the good old USA just tells ya to go pack sand where the sun don’t shine.

amazing the rest of the world thinks that they should be able to dictate what U.S. tax policy is. In other words, our constitution does not apply. The rest of the world can go to hell.When the EU gets in trouble militarily the U.S. should tell them go tell someone who gives a shit.

Apparently the US putting other countries first was even worse than I thought and I thought it was pretty bad.

MAGA!
