I thought everyone was dying to make a deal with you Orange?
"I've made 200 deals."
Then people pointed out that's more deals than there are countries, then he started whining about how no one would make a deal with him. And now I think he made one deal with the UK, which he'll probably go back on next week.
UK just made a deal with EU including foods. This will make a chlorinated American chicken deal impossible. So I bet Trump could be pretty pissed about that if anybody tells him.
He'd be pissed off constantly if he could read
OK Trump, but while you are trying to figure out what the most scary import tax is, and destroying American business globally, we are working on getting rid of American services and weapons. And China is now a less unpopular trading partner than USA in EU!!
We shall see who wins in the long run...
China is winning without doing anything
They worked out that "The Art of the Deal" means "agree to my deal right now, or I will shit the bed".
If you just don't get in the bed you're fine.
Makes sense, considering Taoism comes from China. The philosophy is "wu wei", which essentially means, "Action without Action."
I think here we call it. "Don't interrupt your enemy when he is busy destroying himself."
Pretty sure that's a French thing (Napoleon), but maybe you're French and that's what you mean by "here."
Sun Tzu also said something similar before Napoleon (Art of War, Ch 4-2):
To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself.
Here is "the west".
Maybe Napoleon said it first IDK. I'm from Denmark, but I heard it from Americans.
I agree, China is probably the biggest winner in this.
He's gonna be dead soon enough one way or another. He doesn't give a fuck about the future. He's just trying to profit as much as he can right now.
Trying to fight the EU in a trade war is truly mud wrestling a pig.
Did you know that before Trump started this, the average tariff in EU on American goods was about 1%?
So the question is why the fuck Trump really did this? Except we already know, the plan was to use tariffs as the main taxation income for government, and give extreme tax cuts to the rich.
Trump is trying to be clever, to benefit himself and those that bribe him. But he is really stupid, and after he is finished everybody will be worse off.
Trump doesnt understand that a deal should benefit both partners, not just him.
"The EU is so difficult".. Lols.
EU not bowing to the US king?
oh noes
who could've guessed
Further distancing us from that bin-fire? Oh no. How awful.
Please go ahead, it should make more people aware of the boycott movement.
what I was expecting as well. he was waiting for the stock market to recover for his friends to sell, now that it's almost back to Biden levels he can crash it again
Maybe the EU learned from his own actions that you just have to push back until he caves under internal pressure
You don't even need to push. Just wait a while until the toddler finds something else to focus on and forget what happened today.
It was some time ago but a response from Canadian supplier to US customer went few rounds on social media. They informed that the item customer was buying was under a tariff and gave options to either pay up the tariffs, cancel the sale with no extra cost or just wait for few days and see what happens. And the really stupid part is that it was (and largely is) a viable strategy, at least on customer sales. For businesses that's obviously a total nightmare, but that's just one example on how ridiculous any kind of trade with the US is right now.
"You better give me what I want or I'll shoot!" He said, his gun aimed squarely at his own foot.
Just remember that some important projects are tittering on bankruptcy and success and are depending on collaboration with EU. If the tariffs affect the final cost, then the projects will fail. Simple as that. And you won't get your IPod nano for Christmas.
All of these tariff wars are so depressing to all of us just trying to get cool stuff made.
So, another stab at market manipulation?
get bent fat orange fuckface
If you had a brace of five-syllable lines bracketing that and managed to reference the season, you'd have a perfect haiku.
Sounds like that PoS is going to tank the markets again so his billionaire donors can rake in more of our money. Then he will say there was beautiful talks-- of which there wasn't-- and then say something stupid like we negotiated and I won, 10% tarrifs, I am so gud at this!
Fucking grifting all the way down.
Do it bitch
It's nuts that the markets still react to this clown.
By now I would have expected them all to catch on that he is simply a 14 year old internet troll from a YouTube comment section in the body of a dehydrated Ipomoea batatas full of alternaria.
The things he does (or does not do) will keep changing and being wild. Price that in already.
Buy Stoxx 600 then
I would have thought by now even the most financially illitterate americans would have had how tariffs work and impact them explained by now, but people still arent rioting that he is taxing the ever-loving shit out of his own people? (And destroying the USAs global economic power in the process)
Didn't Klingbeil say something like the talks where promising just earlier today?
Give a man a tariff hammer and all he sees is tariff nails
Like the pigboy he is, he can't help but put his finger on the scale.
So, Trump sorted a bunch of Ero stocks then annoined this ?
TACO trade
Oh no! Anyway....
If you have any money left in the markets for any reason get it out now

- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
