    LOL Trump wanted to keep this “trade war” to goods only. He never mentioned the surplus US has in services trade. This will really hurt US below the belt.

        I don’t get it. Why do Americans want to hurt themselves so badly? Shooting yourself in the foot? “Nah men, that’s for children.” Russian roulette? “Boooring, why just 1 bullet in the chamber when you can do 6 instead.”

        It’s so obvious how your current president with his clown army is set to destroy the country yet the American people were all for it and voted him back, after a horrible first term. Everyone is in support of mega corps and the ultra rich and don’t care it will come out of their own pocket.

        And now you’re in support of the EU to ban American services, something which would hurt the country and everyone in it, making it harder for you to get a job, pay for groceries, get proper health care and education, waving away your human rights and freedom of expression.

        I’m a European, to me it looks like the movie Idiocracy was an understatement when I look at the US. It’s a country filled with masochist toddlers who argue about how big their graves should be while digging those themselves with lightning speed.

        I get it, you’re unhappy with the current situation, but supporting the ones who will hurt you, is going to hurt you. If I was in your situation I’d say “yeah EU, I get it, but it will be at the cost of the American people because those mega corps will take their loss out of our paychecks and welfare.”

        But you do you! Good luck mate!

          So you’re now mad at people for realizing they’re the baddie and wanting change?

          What don’t you get? America runs on money. Maybe you should trust us when we say we deserve something. We know what makes these beasts wail

            It’s the self destructive thinking that gets me frustrated. By destroying themselves they take down so many others, bringing an insane amount of agony, suffering and death.

                If they did, Trump wouldn’t be reallected and Musk wouldn’t be unofficial president. We wouldn’t be heading towards an inevitable world War 3. People wouldn’t be dying because aid was cut and because weapons are kept on delivered to destructive nazis. But sure, this is the best we can do. Fuck that.
