Donald Trump the Megathread part II

How many tariffs has the EU put on the world currently, no good moaning when someone does the same. China still has to respond to the 40% tariffs on Ev's yet that were put on them last year.

The EU tariffs are justified based on China's market manipulation and are in line with WTO rules.

Trump's tariffs are pulled out of nowhere and make no economic sense.

Of course you know this already but to acknowledge it would involve you saying something bad about a BRICS country.

No blame on individual US tourists of course - unless they start spouting off unprompted about politics + expose their devotion to Donald Trump and the GOP!

A few well deserved and justified EU tariffs on Chinese car companies (boo hoo!) seem in the ha-penny place beside effectively edit: sponsoring & supporting invasion and destruction of a European country that is an EU accession candidate. There's been no collective EU responses to that, unfortunately.

Sure we now have one of their officials on the record apparently as saying they actually cannot accept Russia "losing" the war, which is pretty grim if they use an absolutist Putin definition of "win/loss" here (that wasn't clear I think from reporting on it). Still a bit gobsmacked by that, and the little attention it received, but there you go.

I'll raise you a Benjamin Netanyahu.

Would be great to see Trump at a foreign press conference. They would rip him apart.

So Trump is now threatening to revoke the citizenship of people who were born in the US simply because they disagree with him.

Now, Imagine for one second if Biden had threatened Trumps wife or one of his friends like this.

Not out of nowhere. Pulled out of his arse.

He literally has no power to revoke the citizenship of a person born in America and if America were functioning correctly, any president who suggested this would be removed from office on grounds of impaired mental judgment.

Asking for full, completely open access for US goods into the EU market, whilst charging 30% the other way…. Just tells us everything about what the EU Trade people having been dealing with I think.

Donald Trump is twice the pussy O'Donnell is

It does tend to show, to those who choose to look at what he writes for public consumption, where his mind is going with his effort to destroy the citizenship right of those born in the U.S. contained in that base stone of the U.S. constitution.

If SCOTUS, through turning its eyes sideways, lets him off with his efforts to destroy the constitution from the presidency, they and their kins citizenship rights will be included in what he destroys.

if your main focus is Epstien, you're wasting your time

It's the hypocrisy of the Epstein files that will turn some of his MAGA followers against him. If this benefits more liberals come the mid terms all the better.

He'll blather his way through a failing economy and disastrous foreign policy, but they'll turn on him if they think he's been up to his neck in Epstein's debauchery.

Not true: MAGA and QAnon and the other conspiricists are convinced that Dams, the Clintons and the Deep State run some sor of global paedophile enterprose. The Epstein case might help to counter this nonsense, and Pam Bondi's sudden discovery that there is nothing to see here, so move on, is deeply suspicious, even to a non-conspiricist like me.

Of course Democrats have to be relentless on corruption and the Big Ugly Bill, but Epstein-like behaviour has been a big MAGA issue, so don't ignore it.
