But allowing it to continue for them to honor their tariffs and blockades of markets from American goods is absolutely not shittng on America right? Don’t get me wrong I’d love to sell directly into Japanese markets without the low tariffs there but also without restrictions that make it impossible to sell in the first place. With the increased production I could enjoy maybe selling into China without say a 50% or more tariff but those ports are to busy anyway shipping all they can here including enough fentanyl to kill every man, woman and child in America. Boy traveling around Europe would be great in my American made pickup truck seeing all those treasures of time that were spared complete destruction from multiple world wars and then seeing the same countries rebuilt with to American dollars but unfortunately it is way to expensive with their import tariffs on that truck. Too bad they don’t give us cheaper ones like they get from us.

Run away and not respond to a direct question. Why am I not surprised.

You must have some issues if you allow people to take advantage of you so that they will be your "friend".

Globalists are our enemies, not our allies.

They might be YOUR allies, you're a globalist stooge, a statist NPC. But they are the enemies of the American people, those who elected Trump.

You were rejected, remember? You're part of the 20 percent. An outlier. America supports Trump.

I guess if you’re a pro-globalist, pro-Ukrainian war, anti free speech advocate who supports trade agreements that victimize the US by extracting wealth and jobs you’d feel that way.

How are they "shitting" on their sugar daddy when the average tariff rate across all sectors of US exports is running at 4.5 - 5% with a good bit tariffed at a 1% rate?

US already collects over 7 billion in tariffs from EU countries while EU collects maybe half that number at between 3-4 billion.

Almost sounds like the US is trying to be an 11 year old bully in the schoolyard.

I don’t know what you’re reading but whatever it is you’re being misled. Or if you are reading reasoned opinion, your reading comprehension skills are abysmal.

It’s like your neighbor throwing paint and feces on your house for years and finally you call the cops and someone would respond, “I can’t believe you called the cops on your neighbor!”

If the choice is taking care of America or “shitting on out allies” as you put it I will take America 8 days a week.

Think about why they became a union of European nations. Was it to:

A) Become better allies with the US
Or
B) Leverage their union to compete against the US

With allies like that who needs enemies? They shouldn't have tried to kill him.

I don’t know anyone would think that these countries that were shitting all over The United States were not really our allies.

The EU shuts on us every chance they get. It’s amazing how some of you have no idea what’s going on.

First we saved their arses from two world wars.

Second we rebuilt the entire place.....which they never repaid.

Third when it was rebuilt.....they refused to defend themselves and made us pay for it.

Fourth they set up a trade block to fck us.

They are spoiled little brats who may have to defend themselves and have fair, not free, fair trade for the first time in two generations, oh course they are having a hissy fit.....just look at poor kiwihead (little shats who were up to their eyeballs in russiagate, so much for five eyes).
