Hey Canada, Australia, Mexico, Brazil and other interested nations: You want a nice deal on Dutch products? Now's your chance!

Forget about spare parts for Airbus aircraft. Forget about Legos, MRI equipment, high quality surgical instruments, automobiles, jet engines, Danish furniture- Americans are paying out the ass for putting a child barbarian in charge of their economy, security and standard of living- and they're doing nothing about it to stop the bleeding.
chaosblade
A big part of the problem is that the president isn't supposed to be in charge of the economy. Trump has been overreaching on tariffs and using mob tactics to try to manipulate the federal reserve, but the GOP-controlled congress has little desire to hold him accountable (because they are either idiots themselves, or they think their voters are) and the supreme court is now blatantly partisan.

can't wait for that dumbsterfire of a failed empire to go down in flames. Sorry for all the good guys, though, perhaps they should take action bf it is too late.
EroticZombiePants
Eh, Trump is basically going to start World War 3 soon. I imagine many of us here will eventually die when you have to do bombing runs to destroy our war infrastructure anyway ... Or pretty much everyone in the world dies when the nukes fire.
sneakypoo
Anything to distract from those files, eh?
RoyDMercer
And Americans will pay the price.
choppedliveraldente
We've already been paying for the military that keeps the peace and the major source of all aid until now..... what's heaping a little humiliation on all that? Im fucking done. I'll just go work until I die now. Gotta pay for Israel's bullshit.
downsouthfarm
The military that keeps the peace! BWAHAHAHahahahahah!
choppedliveraldente
Yeah sounded straight outta national geographic or some corporate propaganda brochure

The best part is that a huge fraction of the imports from Finland is lined up to be icebreakers. For arctic security. So yeah, that's a nice unplanned addition to the coast guard budget.

UserMad42
Wow. Trump will keep punishing his own citizens with crippling tariffs until the whole world bends to his will!
The fact that the USA just cant rein him in or get rid of him proves the 250-year old "experiment in democracy" has come to a conclusion of utter and absolute failure.
The USA can never be trusted again. Ever.

Yay, the President of Peace starting a trade war again!

As an American, please boycott American products
TREXSEXISARMLESS
Our local supermarket has a "world aisle" that stocks awful American "candy" that's about all I can think we have here, it doesn't sell well, your biggest cultural export is TV and movies. Which lets be honest, is very hit and miss lately.
hfctom
Great, now what's MeeMaw gonna put her sewing supplies in now that Dansk Cookies are going to be too expensive?!?!
thedudeman519
Real talk though those are some fucking amazing cookies.
EroticZombiePants
Something smaller as her sewing supplies will also be more expensive.
DutchBoeremeisie
So, Europe has in the last week signed historic trade deals with India and the Mercosur area (the latter creating the largest tariff-free trading area in the world). I think we'll be okay.
HiddenSanity
Also new routes and strengthened ties with Canada and such...
GODzillaFH
There is hoping. I mean, the US government under Trump are working so hard to let the USA slip into economic oblivion, Europe should definitely try even harder to benefit from that. Let the USA sink, we shall rise.
michiyl
The EU is far more reliable and stable in its contracts. Sure, tariffs against other countries are a European thing as well, but they're NEVER willy-nilly and random.
Lokster
Living in Europe, I will make an effort to avoid purchasing any US-made products whenever possible. Anyone want to start up a European version of Amazon?
ignoremejustlurkingaround
In germany there is otto.de. They pretty much are an european version of amazon, a platform with lots of 3rd party vendors. they probably ship everywhere in the EU.
michiyl
There are already quite a few alternatives to US companies and services ( https://www.goeuropean.org/ ), but it'll be a bit of a way to go to replace it all
VR6C
For Belgium and the Netherlands we have Bol.com, but little expensive but a great alternative
swedeonamoose
The merc thing is still very much not a done deal tho, a lot of eu farmers are pissed about it and not all members agree with it.
elvianempire
I really dont get why these kind of things are done in winter. decide them during harvest season so there is actually something at stake for the farmers.
DutchBoeremeisie
Yes, it's not been ratified yet. But the majority of members have already voted in favour, despite all the protests. While I sympathise with the farmers, I do think this needs to happen.
mohavewolfpup
Are they actual farmers or like the ones in America here that cosplay at it?
swedeonamoose
Actual tractor driving farmers blocking roads and stuff
mercyPandaRunner
That doesn't say as much as it seems. Quite often, these smaller farmers are pawns used by the big fish in the industry. Often against their own interest to protect policy that benefits the large corporations. "Farmer" is like "middle class" a term that is so simultaneously inclusive and exclusive that it is used to obscure what's going on.
mercyPandaRunner
EU farmers are always pissed about something. Sometimes more reasonably, often just as useful idiots for large scale industrial farming corporations.
lostlittletimeonthis
In many cases they've also been infiltrated by Russian agents
mercyPandaRunner
No need for Russians. And no need to make russian intelligence a bigger boogeyman than it is.
lostlittletimeonthis
May not need them but they have been found
SMarkt
german here. just to remind you, we dont pay those tarrifs, americans. YOU do.

Do none of his dipshits entourage know the difference between sanctions of tariffs?

Or plan ahead and use a 338. Then it really doesn't matter where you hit him as long as you hit him.

Damn, Canada should have sent soldiers too, it would have lowered our tariff rate.

DENMARK. GAVE. US. LEGO.

If they make them the gold-colored Lego, he would definitely keep it close.
Alphee99
We can barely afford those before the extra tax.

And if we thought they were edpwnsive before, wait till the tariffs hit.
Gonna be a lot of angry man nerds.

Tariff deez nuts, assclown.
swedeonamoose
The people voting for him was expected after the first time, the people i am real mad at were the fuckheads that didnt show up and just let it happen.
jankyupeblik
Voter apathy is obviously a huge problem in the USA, but the people I'm most mad at are those (also republicans) who allowed republicans to break our election process almost a century ago in 1929, guaranteeing future illegitimate presidencies like this one.
Overcoming voter apathy could have kicked this problem down the road, but please be assured: republicans have been a minority with no legitimately elected presidents for over three decades.
b00guy
I saw a poll today saying 2/3rds of americans are concerned about what he's doing.
Maybe 2/3rds should have voted against him then.
WoodyGoodman
DarkBladeX
Nah idiots just voted for him. Some sat out but no idiots in this country straight up voted for him. That's why Nevada, Michigan, Arizona Senate races were won by Dems
EroticZombiePants
As someone living in Michigan, we're probably going to go GoP for 2026 Governor and Senate seat.
DarkBladeX
Governor yeah unless the legislature can quickly pass ranked voting or run off. Senate I'm not seeing it
MoonMoon89
I honestly think he still doesn't understand how tariffs work.
MrOne2
Big tariffs= big money https://media0.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPWE1NzM3M2U1YWt1ZzI0ejVpeW5kbHI1ajd0bW80emFwaXplbDM2M2Fxc2swOTc1bCZlcD12MV9naWZzX3NlYXJjaCZjdD1n/WpgM6JBrmBy8Gac5pW/200w.webp

Just like he thinks asylum is insane asylum.
Stroke out already you piece of shit.
Eyeetsass
He knows how tariffs work. He doesn’t do things for the American public, or to make anything better for anyone, but Donald.
corndude101
And his friends that have paid him money.
Rogerwilco1974
Really? Do you HONESTLY think that, because I don't. He knows exactly how they work. He doesn't give a fuck. Unfortunately the bulk of his voter base very possibly doesn't understand them, and blindly believe all the shit he spews
Allusernamesaretakensoichoosethis
He is so unpredictable. That doesn't work on the international stage.
Oh, and he's vindictive...
veesee
I don't think he also realizes he's just strengthening our alternative trade routes and that no one in any of the list countries really care about tariffs anymore.
We've all moved away from US supplies and have all survived pretty fucking well.
atoyot
Neither does anybody here, based on the top comments on these posts. It absolutely, 100% hurts the US consumer, but it also is objectively bad for the countries it's levied against.
Snooj
Oh, he does. But more importantly, he understands that his base doesn't.
FuzzyX
The EU is seriously considering implementing the “Anti-Coercion Instrument” (ACI) part of EU law.
Should the EU use ACI on the US then would mean everything desired gets shut down. No more physical goods transfer, no more intellectual property sharing, no more parents trade.
Billions would be wiped off the economy.
The EU uses ACI. The US is hurt.
pete8772
He’s an ignorant cunt so what were you expecting?

And lying.
monkeyfly
He doesn't. His owners do. All of this is intentional.
PorneliusHubertII
That was clear day 1. They want to bring production back to America, tariffs would help with that IF you had a plan and had already started building production facilities stateside. All he did was slap tariffs on everyone and drive up prices for Americans.
ForCryingOutLoud
The thing is though. Even though it is American consumers that eventually pays the bill it also hurts to countries targeted by these tariffs. Because of import tariff companies will buy little bit less competitive product from a country that Trump isn't in trade war with. So pretty much the worst dictatorships you can find.
Sipulikeitto
Easy 3 step plan.
Step 1. Impose Tariffs.
Step 2. ?
Step 3. FUCKING IDIOT!
aviselafin211
This could explain why Liberal PM Carney is sitting on the sidelines over Greenland. The potential for additional punishing tariffs will cause more suffering for Canadians and he's surely anxious to avoid antagonizing Trump. While he's uttered words of support, Carney has yet to pledge so much as a patrol ship or platoon from CAF in support of the Kingdom of Denmark. I wonder how an old school Liberal like Jean Chretien would have handled this?
MyGreatestFearBoner
Or the role of president of the United States.
cousteau
Same goes for a lot of other things
WGTBaal
You gotta fund your gestapo. What better way than another tax that your fan base will cheer on? Not to mention the sweet benefits of market manipulation
slinkydust
IMO he thinks Americans buy everything and the world is a shit hole factory. By making Americans buy less impacts other country profits. They should be thankful we're rich and buy their stuff
1stDrunkJoe
Perhaps a diagram would help.
intashu
It's pretty clear the only thing he understands is how to line his pockets with money, literally everything else he is clueless about. And unfortunatly were all paying the costs.
BananaForScaIe
"I do thing, I get money. Now I do tarriff thing, people pend money, I get money. Is how world work."
I don't care that this sounds Russian in my head.
MapleSyrupMafia
And the US "can't afford" to refund the tariffs because he moved that money in an offshore account.
somerandomusernamething
He did bankrupt a casino, so he isn't even good at that.
LanceSackless
From what i remember the casinos might have very well been a front or a grift and the bankruptcy was intentional/expected
paynoattentiontousernames
But casinos are miney making machines. If done right, a casino will give you a great, dependable income for years and years. Unless you're a greedy cunt grifter that needs a quick buck to cover your other financial failiers/grifts
SavageDrums
He hasn't learned a new thing since 1986
busterfixxitt
I'm convinced of it.
Merkonian
He knows how they work. They work like a protection racket: Pay me or I will trash your store.
EmperorCartagia
More like "Pay me or I'll make Americans ay me a cut to buy from you."
Badprenup
You may not fully understand them either because it's more like "Pay me or I will trash my own store"
jayman0123
he only cares about him though. He honestly believes he is entitled to everyone's money and land. That's it. Everyone has money, he wants it. Everyone has land, he wants it. He knows he's insulated by his position since the government is footing the bill for his life, and he knows that he won't live long enough for any consequences to come around, so he gives fuck all about anything else, other than raping children when he can.
Merkonian
You seem to assume he cares about US citizens. It will hurt trade and generally hurt both countries involved but as long as he gets his way it is fine for him. In other words: He is playing with your money and will keep what he wins and you will lose when he loses.
Magpiebones
It would hurt other countries if USA had something unique that can't be bought elsewhere.
Willste
So, like, is the Supreme Court going to do anything with that ruling on his tariffs? I know they will probably allow it, but at least we'd know.
xeoxion
They will keep delaying the ruling. They know siding with him will be bad, but they know siding against him will massively disrupt the economy.
So they keep delaying keeping the tariffs in place
What I don’t understand is why doesn’t he get congress to codify the tariffs by vote and make them “official and legal”
Not that I support tariffs. Just wondering why this hasn’t happened
EroticZombiePants
At some point, our economy is going to completely collapse anyway, and regardless of how they rule, at some point, all 9 of them will be executed together. They may as well make some sort of ruling.
eromitlab
In the bowl of pudding he calls a mind, that would mean he can't do what he wants when he wants to, an unacceptable check on his mob boss power.
