Donald Trump the Megathread part II - Mod Warning updated in OP 12/2/26

For tariffs the E.U. acts as a bloc. Trump`s wet dream would be them acting individually.

All the E.U. wuld have to do is publish the list of tariffs they would impose on U.S. businesses exporting to the E.U. and the voters in those states affected would quickly point out to their members of congress the effect those tariffs would have.

...

Don't be giving him or them ideas and no hopefully he can not do that.

Google handed a pro Palestine protesters bank account and credit card details to ICE.

Tennessee Republicans pass bill in State House that would allow private organizations refuse to recognise same sex marriage. It goes to the State Senate.

The E.U. does not need more Hungary`s attempting to weaken it from the inside to the benefit of Trump and Putin.

There would be no such thing as having a quiet word with businesses in the U.S. that would not get back to Trump and his administration to have him mouthing off that individual countries within the E.U. are looking for their own individual deals. That would result in disharmony within the E.U. which would just be playing into Trump`s hand.

The E.U. strength is in it being an economic bloc, and for others to be aware that if it is forced to act it will do so as a bloc. If the E.U. imposes tariffs on the U.S. and a E.U. country such as Hungary decides to ignore those tariffs, then I would expect the E.U. would impose sanctions on that country.

Also late Saturday, U.S. President Donald Trump announced plans to deploy a hospital ship to the Danish autonomous territory of Greenland, alleging that many people there are sick and not receiving care — prompting a defense of Denmark’s health care system from Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen.

I don't know, it seems to me that Trump may have sent that ship to aid the US submariner, but is using the pretence above to have a dig at Greenland and Danish officials.

Denmark and Greenland hit back at Trump.

Frederiksen defended Denmark’s health care system on Sunday, writing on Facebook that she was “happy to live in a country where there is free and equal access to health for all. Where it’s not insurances and wealth that determine whether you get proper treatment.”

“You have the same approach in Greenland,” she said, before adding: “Happy Sunday to you all” in front of a blushing, smiling emoji.

Aaja Chemnitz, one of the two Greenlandic politicians in the Danish parliament, wrote on Facebook: “Donald Trump wants to send a poorly maintained hospital ship to Greenland. It seems rather desperate and does not contribute to the permanent and sustainable strengthening of the healthcare system that we need.”

“Another day. Another crazy news story,” she wrote in front of a smiley face emoji.

I wasn't comparing Greenland to the US. A better comparison would be Greenland to Denmark or other Nordic countries. They have their issues regardless of trumps antics.

That Watters tweet is 100% fake

Trump can't have sent a ship as the only 2 medical ships America has are in dry dock getting repairs done. He just posted this sh!t because a Danish military forces rescued a Sailor onboard a US Submarine who needed medical attention.

He is one petty barsteward.

Someone posted this over on that White House Twitter/X post.

The E.U. is a union of 27 states which operates as a single economic and political bloc.It`s one of its greatest strengths.

Tariffs come under the economic heading and E.U. states cannot individually negotiate on tariff with any other state or economic bloc. Nor can they be tariffed individually by another country or block. Trump would have loved to have been able to do that with his first set of tariffs but because it is a political and economic bloc he could not. If an individual E.U state wishes to do deals on tariffs they would face severe sanctions in unison from the other 26.

Why do you think Orban has not been attempting to do his own deal for Hungary with Trump on tariffs ?
