Check out this hit piece from The Guardian:

quote:

“We laid out the strategic and budget plan for 2025 expecting that American products, including American whiskey, will be less accepted by those countries outside of the US because of first, tariffs and, second, emotion,” Niinami said.

And it is likely to spread further still. Zoe Gardner, an organiser of the Stop Trump Coalition in the UK, is seeing rapidly increasing interest in the issue.

“A lot of what we are seeing is coming about organically, people putting stuff on TikTok. People are so furious, and this is about taking back power. Already across Europe we are seeing sales of Tesla falling of a cliff because Musk encapsulates so much of the problem with the Trump administration, both its culture of horrible racism and the economic side.”

You didn't know? The desire for fair trade is racist to the core.

I love it when coastal media dipshits, who have no stake in the game, encourage other people to essentially destroy themselves. Its always astonishing to see.

I have a stupid question because apparently I’m a stupid idiot. If these countries actually boycott American products then supply will stop meeting demand, which would theoretically lower prices in the U.S., correct?

Good thing India is stepping up then. 1.5 billion potential customers there.

Doing driving this week for work and on NPR I heard a guy from the CBC polishing the narrative that there are long lines at stores as people and making it a point to not by American and him and his family is making sure to not buy American.

I wish someone would ask them why it’s ok that Canada and Europe have tariffs on American goods but bad we put tariffs on them

Europe imports little in the way of American goods. If they want this kind of war they are fricked.

American whiskey? Unless you’re a Scotch guy what else are you going to drink? Crappy Canadian and Irish whiskey?

The tribe has wanted to destroy Europe and its people for centuries. Unfortunately, looks like they’re succeeding.

Europe is not our friend. We need to get out of NATO and all the other bullshite. Kill them with kindness, but GTFO.

Europe ain't like us.

The State Department needs to discourage Americans from visiting Europe.
