200% tariff is not a threat at all, it is a new opportunity for new markets, new pricing, better margins, and we delete the USA market as not profitable and insecure to make deals with. Period
Wow, he really does hate us
Honestly Europe and America got themselves into this situation a very long time ago lol America and Europe dark uncomfortable past has come back to haunt them : Africa’s resistance and demand for economic sovereignty is a key factor in the global economic and geopolitical crisis. The West, having built its power on the exploitation of Africa for centuries, is now facing the reality of a more empowered Africa that is unwilling to remain a passive participant in the global system. This shift is causing upheaval, as the West has to adjust to a new world order where Africa is no longer a passive resource provider, but an active player in shaping the future of global trade and geopolitics.
Canada wil become 51st state😂😂😂😂😂😂
trump has destroyed the us economy, and all trump voters need to be accountable.
These daily ramblings of your President Chump are becoming increasingly deranged. As the Turks say – a clown in a palace does not become a King. Rather, the palace becomes a circus.
Good time to just stop drinking alcohol, period.
Living in the Napa/Sonoma wine growing region of California…..I LOVE these fair market tariffs!💲💲💲Tschüss…….🍷
Lol
When he will be able to understand that WE the people pay his tariffs!!!!!
This guy might turn out to be the worst president since 45.
I don't consume alcohol so I couldn't care less.
This is ALL being done on purpose to crash the current system and usher in the mark of the beast system. The New World Order.
Superb 👍
Buy from your nation and Europe If you cant buy from Asian friends.
The old man will get scared and change his mind….again.
Isnt that dumb does he not just F over his rich friends who are the ones drinking european alcohol
Canada charges American cheese and butter, nearly 300% on tariffs. India 150% tariff on American alcohol. And there's so many examples like this. I fully support Trump and his tariffs.
Tariffs should be handled by a different branch of government and put up to a vote so 1 person isn't allowed to single handedly ruin the Country.
Everyday this guy sounds more and more like a moron. It's like watching an 8th grader in the white house who is way over his head.
Red States: 80% of America
Hear that MAGA cult? Celebration is over.
My biggest concern is how I will survive all these financial and political crises, especially given the power struggle in the US. The government has really made things more difficult for its citizens, and we cannot sit idly by and suffer all the consequences of poor governance.
I asked Grok, will this hurt EU more than the 25% steel and aluminum tarrifs when you factor in the 25% steel aluminum tariffs already imposed on Canada who supplies 60% of the metal to America. It answered in a cold hard no. America is playing and bluffing on a hand it doesn't possess at the moment.
I hope we all know that it doesn't matter who is in the 'top job' because this is a systemic problem — greed. We have allowed many of our economic sectors, to take advantage of the American people. It's disgusting and frightening for the future of our country. My wife and I will be retiring in the next two years n another country. We are absolutely worried that SSI will no longer be funded. we'll have to rely on my pension, a 403 (b) and a very prolific lnvestment account with my Abby Joseph Cohen my FA. Our national debt is bloating and expanding every month. Our government needs to get spending under control and cut the federal budget.
Based on previous Stormy's statements, I assume Trump doesn't like Champagne because it's mushroom shaped cork reminds him of his
Tariffs will increase costs of finished goods and components used throughout US manufacturing. This will be an immediate and huge hike in inflation. To fight inflation the Fed will have to hike interest rates which will be wonderful for the billionaires but possibly take away the middle class. Inflation is so high that consumers are literally taking debt for basic life necessities. Collapse has indeed begun..
Just for your information:
America can't produce "Champagne" – why? The name is protected!
Champagne (French: le champagne) is a sparkling wine made from grapes harvested according to strictly defined rules in the Champagne wine-growing region (French: la Champagne) in France. Champagne enjoys the status of an Appellation d'Origine Protégée, even if this isn't indicated on the label. According to Chapter 1, No. I of the specifications published as an appendix to Decree No. 2010-1441 of November 22, 2010, relating to the "Champagne" appellation d'origine control.
