similar to our govt, which is thinking of sending someone to plead with Trump to ease the tariffs.

I mean, just look at what happened to Zelenskyy, he was bullied

He stood his ground and still hasn't given up half of his mineral wealth to Trump and Europe has promised to continue to support Ukraine.

He did learn his lesson though. You can't trust the USA. Hopefully that's a lesson we will learn too but that's dim hope given how Seymour, Winston, and Luxon have embraced MAGA.
