“Vela added that European officials have been quietly sharpening their knives and preparing “brutal countermeasures” against Trump, but are in no rush to implement them because they don’t want to give Trump a scapegoat to blame for a deteriorating American economy.”

    The idea that reacting to trump achieves anything is laughable.

    How foolish is the opposition?

    Be proactive or you are complicit.

    Don’t worry about giving him a scapegoat he has plenty.

    What a bunch of fools.

        I’m talking about Europe Neville chamberlaining their way into the apocalypse

        Trying to play politics when the enemy is fighting a war.

        It’s stupid.

            Economic destruction is part of the plan

            This isn’t a trade war to win for him

            It’s just a war.

            This is how he does everything. He hides in plain sight in and demands the benefits of the doubt.

            He is leading a rogue terror state. It’s a multi pronged war.

            The answer is not counter tariffs. That’s what he wants.

            There seems to be only one way to fix this problem.

            When he threatens another nations sovereignty, treat him like any rogue leader.

                He already declared war against our former allies.

                It’s real simple but ugly math.

                The longer it plays out the uglier and less simple it gets.
