You joke, but this could totally happen.

Someone please float it to him on Fox. Maybe someone can buy a Trump targeted ad like the Lincoln Project used to.

Just tell him the King of England gets a seal on all the products he uses

Wait a minute... That's genius!

Market it as "The Presidential Seal of National Quality" and he'll claim it was his idea in no time.

As an American, I hate this and it's probably better for everyone if this does happen.

Localized packaging. It would have to be done at the EU end

If it's a requirement by Trump, I am sure it's no big deal as are so many other required labels for products in EU ๐Ÿ‘

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

That's what I mean, the EU would have to require it. The companies would know it would be detrimental. If it was a US regulation, they'd put it on US labels and leave it off anywhere they're not required to have it

I sense a guerilla sticker campaign looming.

I wish this boycott luck. If the US economy takes a serious hit as a result of his idiotic trade wars, it could help us fight Trump here.

His supporters are not immune to reality, they are just... Well, they are unbelievably resistant to it. Hit them where it hurts.

Ideally you'd target GOP-affiliated companies, or those that are bending the knee to Trump.

Ashamed American here. Please. No.

[โ€“] [email protected] -2 points 2 months ago

That would be awesome!!

We then know exactly what products to buy because America first! Trump is doing an awesome job and he should really go through with this idea. Maybe if someone tells him privately, then he can say he thought of it.
