the leader of the 'free world'

It's so embarrasing. I can only hope Europe will not give in. But in the end we probably just lick the stupid murican's boots. Jeezs, it's not even free of spelling- and grammatical errors. It's just an insult...

We've already seen how this plays out when Trump started his trade war. The EU did a lot of blustering about being a big economic bloc, having bargaining power, etc. Then in the end Ursula dutifully flew to Scotland to sign a humiliating deal that let the US rape Europe economically. Why do you think this will be any different?

I don't think it will be different. I just hope it does. Small but important differentiation. In the end I will just roll eyes again and sigh silently.
