    1. Announce tariffs on everyone
    2. All countries say they’ll respond in kind
    3. Why are you all colluding against me? That’s not fair! I’m the best friend you ever had!

      Because that is what toxic people do: they bully and then they act like a victim. We all have a relative, a colleague, a neighbor that does this kind of shit. And what do you do about it? You ignore them, that hurts them the most.

        Yup, Carney is playing it well by telling him we’re not even willing to negotiate with the orange blob until he drops the threats against our sovereignty. As long as he keeps his bluster about it then we don’t enter discussions, period. Show us you’re going to act like a responsible adult and we’ll talk.

        And this latest tariff crap, once again it’s distraction from whatever other nonsense he’s spewing or trying to hide, in this case it’s the Signal-gate stuff. They’re trying their darnedest to get that out of the news cycle.

    At this point Trump threats are starting to sound like Russia and China.

    Sad we’ve gotten to the point the President of the United States can say something, and the general reaction is “yeah yeah, whatever Trailer Trash Trump.”

    As an European, at this point, I feel the same way about Trump’s statements and threats as I do about those from Putin. I just don’t care about their bullshit anymore

    “In the end, as it is said, one hand cannot clap,” Maros Sefcovic, the trade commissioner for the European Union, has said.
