@LongestPath I wonder, why boycott everything? Should the people who suffer under #Trump be punished too? Seems like strange nationalist rhetoric to #BuyFromEU.
I mean I agree to boycott big business, especially big tech and everything owned by billionaires. It's just that a lot of European brands are owned by billionaires too who are just as bad, they just didn't explicitly get handed the keys to the government (yet).
I see your point, however, imo, buyers in EU can signal (with their purchases) that Trump's words/actions have real (financial) consequences, and then those EU/US billionaires (who are benefiting from cross continent trade) would pressure him to stop doing what he is doing...
