I'm absolutely certain he's dying and thinks he can make the legacy he leaves behind 'America was at it's territorial height under President Trump' instead of 'Donald Trump lied, cheated, and stole his way into the US presidency, thus weakening America forever'

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That should read, Trump plans to punish Americans by adding taxes on trade with countries unwilling to abide by his tantrums
Mans dead set on ruining the American economy huh?
I hate how every news article about tariffs implies that the country is the one being damaged by this. When in reality it's the us citizens being damaged.
Should read "Trump threatens us citizens with tariff on Greenland..."
i.e US citizens will be paying %10 for stuff imported from these countries
Alright I just won't buy stuff from America like I already have been for like the last 11 months
It's the other way, tariffs on import to the US.
Ok, I will continue to not sell goods to the states then.
No, no, that's the point. You should sell them even more (at a higher price).
? why would someone do that, we don't get those tariffs.
Hell why would any non us entity want to give money in any way to trump?
For now. Let's hope EU leadership has grown a spine since last time :)))
Sounds to me like the UK should just drop all the agreements it made to avoid tariffs and give trumpler a solid kick in the balls.
If Europe grows a back bone and actually starts a full on Trade War with the US, I wouldn't be surprised if China joined in. I could see them carefully timing their action to maximize damage.
How's that policy of appeasement and boot-licking going now, Kier?
Starmer really thought that being a doormat for the playground bully meant he would get to keep his lunch money.
I am still shocked that the party in power is not some ultra conservative one with the way that government administration is operating in the UK.
Well short of a coup or government collapse/dissolution, we've got to wait for an election.
We've got to hope Polanski and Sultana have got their feet underneath them by then.
It’s one man’s war against the world and we could treat it like that rather than respond to the USA we should use trident, remove the Nukes from the missile and load with tungsten rods, then use it like oreshnik as a ICBM sniper rifle to take out Trump. Surface off the coast and turn Mar a lago into a crater. It’s a huge waste of resources to do anything else.
If you don't give me what I want, I'll make the American people pay me more to buy your stuff.
OK.
Yep. And at this point, any EU company who hasn't made steps towards not relying on the US market deserves the shitstorm coming their way
Tarrif away shittler.
Wish the military would arrest him
Not sure we care anymore, since the free trade agreement between EU and Mercosur was signed today. We don’t really need to trade with the US anymore. South American provides a huge export market for our products, and they supply better quality agricultural imports than the US can anyway.
As an Australian I am hoping this fastrackts the Australian one with the EI but our government is so far up the US's arse, possibly were getting pressure from the US not to.
Anything that brings the world closer together is a good thing!
I don't know for UK, but I'd reckon most of the commercial deficit in EU wrt USA is gas, not food.
Sanction how personal properties including golf courses, hotels, and other industries. It's the only language he understands
Translation:
Trump is raising taxes on Americans so he can
- Buy Greenland for his buddies
- Pay for invading Greenland for his buddies
Block their service sector from the EU market. Boycott US products. And see how they will fare. It is about time we take a firm stance and show this demented idiot, that he cannot bully us.
We sure need to double up on cutting loose from data storage at microslop, google, apple amazon etc. I'm not to worried about apps/software. As long as we have your data, we'll figure it out.
how is that even need to be suggested. the US have threatened the EU, with a literal invasion. getting rid of US technology is a matter of basic national defense!!! also evicting all US military bases!!!
The US military bases are actually filled with thousands of soldiers that will be imprisoned if the US invades. If we see a large pullout from European bases then we know shit is about to go down.
when the US is threatening an invasion, that's when you know shit is about to do down. what you're suggesting if hiding your head in the sand and lubing your ass in preparation
I'm not suggesting doing nothing. But getting rid of American bases on European soil will make Europe more vulnerable to US attacks, not more.

Wait, does Trump just want a bigger pedophile island than his buddy Epstein had?

The truths in the Epstein Files must be devastating when the tangerine turd tries so hard to distract from them.
It's like saying Hitler attacked Poland and organised holocaust just to distract the German public... No, at some point you guys need to admit it, the guy is a power hungry lunatic.
Weeeeeelll, the Nazis had illegally taken out a bunch of loans and hidden that fact with financial trickery. That's how they managed to pay for rearmament. All those loans were coming due, the Nazis couldn't pay and didn't want to admit what they'd done so yeah, they invaded Poland. I mean, it wasn't purely distraction, they also hoped to seize gold and foreign currency in Polish possession but distraction was a huge part of it.

So can we (i.e. Europe) finally stop appeasing him? Full on trade war? We know he eventually backs down, he's show it with China.
I liked central bank people supporting Powell recently, that felt like a step in the right direction. (First time anyone from Switzerland, my country, has shown any balls anyway.)
