Can’t think of anything American I would want to buy. Anyway, it’s going to be 25% more expencive in 🇪🇺 soon anyway.

No more 7forallmankind, no more Levis.
Replay is our brand now.
And no more orange juice from Florida.

The only way this ends is with some massive finding out.

So let the finding out begin.

And inflation rises, making everything more expensive for avg Americans, who are losing their jobs, their healthcare, their benefits of all kinds.

Europe should boycott the US!

We saw this coming and at least the private initiatives are already forming since Comrade Krasnov voiced desire to annex Greenland.

For the Europeans in the comments, here's how you can find information or participate:

Just promise some troops at the US-French border and Trump will relent.

Very stupid and very costly if this goes through.

scenario= 25% steel/aluminum tariff, 200,000 federal workers fired, reciprocal tariffs that'll equal 20% on all our imports/exports, refusing to unfreeze $1T in funding that should be in the economy https://bsky.app/profile/t0ussaint.bsky.social/post/3li66w62juc27

But let him continue! This Pitt bull barking backwards hasn't even understood that, in the long run, all this will turn against the United States. And his Soviet buddy won't help him, on the contrary, he'll drag him into an irretrievable fall... Forza Europe !!! Forza AMLAT!!! Forza Canada... 😊😂

Thinking of inevitable retaliation, I guess Tesla (which already lost 50% of its sales thanks to Musk's appeal to EU peple) will lose much more 🤷‍♂️

murrys.bsky.social•2 days ago

Come on media. Start calling it a tax on Americans which increases inflation.

dest83.bsky.social•2 days ago

25% contre 25% = 0%
Tout le monde est perdant,everyone is a loser.

No, putin

Sadly, the only possible end to this nightmare is now through a lot of ordinary voter's pain. So bring on the tariffs and maybe they see the light.

firensour2425.bsky.social•2 days ago

Global supply-chains!...what's that?!

hermgamma.bsky.social•2 days ago

There are many countermeasures some should be implemented anyhow
-reign in and tax social media
-break up tech monopolies
-break up tax arbitrage
-severely limit lobbying
-export taxes on critical products
-regulatory capital floor on onshore USD assets including UST, penalising long duration assets

Who still thinks Trump's USA is a transatlantic ally?

penthesilea2.bsky.social•2 days ago

Nobody.

All over the world.

For a long time.

joshoconnorchen.bsky.social•2 days ago

The Baltic *is* part of the Atlantic...

ralfgrahn.bsky.social•2 days ago

Do you mean transatlantic as in North America-Europe?

tsus75.bsky.social•2 days ago

He will go down faster than Lauren Boebert😂😂

seanevans-66.bsky.social•2 days ago

Does Trump know that Americans aren’t made of money? These tariffs will have a real and serious negative impact on people and the economy. Or, does he (and the feckless GOP losers in Congress) just not care?

Ah, it will both “targeted” and “general,” two words that definitely are not opposites.

And the fact that he lacks statutory authority to do so means nothing.

thornfieldhall.bsky.social•2 days ago

The EU has a strong internal market. Let's start boycotting American brands. Look what is happening to the value of Tesla stock.

kgsbca.bsky.social•2 days ago

when will any of his tariffs be challenged? He can only impose them in an emergency, and there is no emergency. Why aren't corporations that will be hurt by tariffs just accepting them?

swimmer14.bsky.social•2 days ago

EU needs to invest inside EU too, make deals with other countries and leave US gradually

dyson-poincare.bsky.social•2 days ago

Of course he does.

petegrif.bsky.social•2 days ago

So 25% on everything...hope people get a 25% raise otherwise it's gonna suck

joshoconnorchen.bsky.social•2 days ago

People will get laid off.

canuck666.bsky.social•2 days ago

You're assuming it's just a 25% cost increase. The companies will raise 25% and then some to make margin on the extra work done to deal with the govt paperwork. I'm thinking 30% at a minimum. Either ways the avg American joe/jane gets fucked. 25% tariffs + 1000s of layoffs = motive for Luigi-ing.

This guy is creating a stronger 🇪🇺 quickly. 👌

Too bad about the radical far-right culture and lawless world order.

andeu.bsky.social•2 days ago

A trade war is one of the few areas the EU is actually competent, so that's less worrying than some other recent news.

tonimakkonen.bsky.social•2 days ago

I'm hoping EU puts tariffs on US digital services. Microsoft and Google and such.

xykosancho.bsky.social•2 days ago

Wait for the world's change, Mr. Trump.
