Donald Trump announces plans to hit the UK, Denmark and other European countries with a 10% tariff on “all or any goods” exported to the US from 1 February
In a post on Truth Social, the US president says these will remain in place until “such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland”
This man’s stupidity has no boundaries.
"Donald Trump, who says on Truth Social that the US has subsidised Denmark and the European Union for many years by not charging them tariffs.”

Tariffs are taxes on the importer, not the exporter. They are taxing themselves
By making the American poor people pay them, they transfer more wealth to the captital class by contracting out jobs to their buddies. Also, it huts sales for the exporters, so its win win for him.
Capitalism doesn’t scale well with democracy.
They are a de facto consumption tax which disproportionately affect the less well off.
Impose tarrifs. Crash businesses. Buy up businesses. Lift tarrifs. Profit.

americans have been getting stupider, by design. education has been defunded and shat upon for many years by republicans talking about “critical thinking is bad” and “we need mandatory jesus in schools” in order to make your kids as dumb as possible, because it takes a special kind of stupid to vote republican, which is the ultimate goal.
yes, a disturbingly large percentage of americans are fucking paralyzingly stupid. we have a racist, rapist pedophile con man in the white house, and legions of sheep, pledging their undying loyalty to it. why? because they’re fucking stupid
Exactly

This is legitimately what the conservatives believe, that the EU is “free riding” on bailouts by the US.
