Ok let’s just start by banning X in the EU and move on to facebook, etc. if he does not come to his senses.
That would be awesome.
Ban Tesla, too, just for fun.
Have cars from US brands pay whatever todays tarif is on top at the pump.
Aren't Nazimobiles already banned in a lot of European countries because they don't meet their traffic safety guidelines?
The bog standard Teslas are pretty common in most of Europe.
Pretty sure the Cybertruck is barred though. Doesn't meet EU safety standards.
eww
Ban Facebook-Apps, X, Tesla, Open AI, Apple and Microsoft.
But yeah, european politicians don't thave the backbone for it.
So, stop buying ANYTHING from the USA. For a quick start: buy-european.net

True, as much as I hate the idea of collateral damage, that's what everyone one of us has in his/her sphere of influence. If not to make a point (which I find secondary), then to start supporting our shared homeland. After all, the strongest country on our continent isn’t France, Germany, etc. It’s Europe - or at least, it could be. But only if we start acting like it.
"Trump will tank the US economy even more if he doesn't get what he wants." That'll punish them! What a fucking idiot.
Oh no! Anyway...
Beat me to it! I'm sure he'll get all pissy once he sees Europe moving away from American services and goods.
He's punishing the countries that sent officers to scout out exercises in Greenland. He doesn't seem to realise those exercises will involve more than those countries.
So, to open the threat, they're going to drop the current tariffs by a third?
Iirc the 15% tariffs were repealed.
So I guess the trade deal that would have the EU buy billions worth of military good from the US is off the table then. Trump has managed to break it before it was signed.
The art of the deal - at this point it's more like abstract art.
Wasn’t it also a trillion in investment or something
Bigly genius!
Quiet, Piggy!
It is the first time that the US targets a select number of EU countries, rather than the EU as a whole. This makes it highly vulnerable to court challenges and at the WTO, unless there is a declared national security emergency because of a direct threat from those target countries (of course beyond a post on TruthSocial).
Remember:

Wait … this is not he onion?
