Rules:

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.

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.

It's also an integrated EU economy, so I'd assume the entire European single market would retaliate.

But yeah, he doesn't care about or understand that. Or at least won't until there's active unrest in America over the crazy inflation and layoffs.

None of that is ever blamed on the Republican president in office though.

To date, it hasn't been the president's fault. The shit they do makes it's way to workers and consumers well after they leave office, for the most part. This would be different, and in some cases very uneven - if there's an accross-the-board 25% tariff with Canada, the Detroit auto industry basically shuts down and lays everyone off today.

Yes, to add you cannot impose targeted tariffs on Danish goods, as these are typically traded within the EU before going to the US.
