The tariffs are basically a tax on US consumers.

Oh yes!
I am Dutch (my wife is Polish) and we live in Catalunya, Spain.
Sometimes, we take vla back home and share it with our friends.
They love it, but are baffled about the product only existing in NL.
I explain that NL has so much milk, it needed to find ways to sell it in many forms!

What about the Dutch supermarkets having whole walls of the most diverse dairy products you can imagine. Not just milk, yoghurts, etc, but an uncanny variety of “vla”, these custard-like dairy products with flavours varying from vanilla to chocolate to “hopjes” to raspberry, and so on.
Startling!

People talk about Garcia having to be freed and that is even established by SCOTUS.
But what’s the legal basis for all others in that concentration camp in El Salvador?
Are they there legally?

Morally, you are right, of course.
Problem is that the Mobster-in-Chief has made them an offer they cannot refuse…
So, even if they really wanted to, these Republicans would be risking their lives and those of their loved ones. And they won’t risk that.

Granada.
A place that has been on my “Want to go” list for many years.
But because we live in Spain, we keep saying that we can go anytime and therefore never do!

I have read that Trump the the healthiest president ever.
That the doctors simply can’t believe how fit he is and how healthy.
His health age is around of a 21 years old Olympic athlete, I read.

Watch when Thiel (and his billionaire mates) have gotten the most of out of Trump complete destruction of the US as a functioning democracy. Trump will then either suddenly drop dead (Putin style) or actually get impeached and Vance will be the president.
Job done.

If Europe can keep together (or expand) a coalition that continues to make agreements on banking regulation, climate, Ukraine and AI with respect for international law, the world can survive Trump.

In doing so, Europe not only makes its mark on world trade and prosperity, but, to Lamy’s delight, it also upholds underlying principles: multilateralism, democracy, the rule of law. America has become a mafia state that enslaves and extorts universities, media and courts.

The WTO, which monitors international trade rules, can do nothing about Trump’s levies: the Americans are virtually checked out. Yet 75 percent of all WTO activities simply continue, because many countries want to continue. As one of the largest trading blocs, Europe has a crucial voice in this

Even European companies, the Financial Times reported on Thursday, are trying to “de-Americanize.”
That is the second horse the EU is betting on: keeping the liberal world order on track, if necessary without America.

Ironically, Trump is now taking the axe himself: with zigzagging, corruption and tantrums he is driving away investors who need stability and predictability, and ensuring that other countries work together to keep the existing liberal system afloat.

The American economy is running like a charm, only poorer Americans do not benefit from this because there is hardly any social redistribution. Americans consume more than they produce, and yet they can live with that deficit because the dollar is strong – that is how powerful America is.

The Americans have prospered from this global, liberal trading system. Trump may say that America is weak, with its high national debt that the rest of the world benefits from, but that is nonsense.
