Ursula von der Leyen today said that a deal is a deal and that you can't just add tariffs when you shook hands on said deal. It seems like they have finally realised what everyone saw before they signed that deal. There is no deal or logic when it comes to the USA any more
The US is not supposed to be a monarchy or a dictatorship, but Republicans and some chickenshit democrats have turned it into exactly that. There should be checks and balances, but there aren't any. Unfortunately for everyone affected, the dictator is a lifelong idiot, loser, and a racist rapist who is now deep into dementia territory.
