Trump announced these tariffs 24 hours ago, and he has already balked. Why???

https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cjrzjqg8dlwt
>>
I don't understand how any American can like Trump, he is literally insane.
>>
>>1479795
He's a senile retard bully who by all evidence doesn't seem to understand how tarrifs even work. They just sound nasty so he uses them as threats.
>>
>>1479797
That is why we like him
>>
>>1479797
I think he is acting in American interests
When Biden opened the border, and printed billions driving up inflation 25-30%, it was for his party's benefit, not for the nations benefit.
Read through the EPA's own news release.
https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/icymi-wsj-epa-gold-bar-terminations-trumps-epa-vs-bidens-dark-climate-money
“Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin recently canceled some $20 billion in grants that his Biden predecessors rushed out to leftwing groups from the EPA’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund. Democrats established this quasi-private green bank in the IRA to avoid government oversight of climate spending.

“Mr. Zeldin claims the freeze is needed because of ‘substantial concerns regarding program integrity, the award process, programmatic fraud, waste, and abuse, and misalignment with the Agency’s priorities.’ He’s right that the program is rife with political conflicts. In one example, the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund director Jahi Wise oversaw a $5 billion grant to his former employer, Coalition for Green Capital.

“The Biden EPA awarded another $2 billion to Power Forward Communities, an umbrella group of climate outfits that was formed in 2023 supposedly to ‘finance home energy efficiency upgrades.’ But the IRA includes tax credits and other grant programs for this purpose. Power Forward’s real purpose is to spread taxpayer funds to progressives.

“One Power Forward member is Rewiring America, which is backed by the Windward Fund, a nonprofit managed by the liberal dark money group Arabella Advisors. Rewiring America hired Stacey Abrams as a senior counsel in 2023 to ‘guide the organization as it builds the tools and capacity’ to connect Americans—i.e., liberal groups—to ‘Inflation Reduction Act incentives.’ Ms. Abrams is the former candidate for Georgia Governor who refused to concede she’d lost for years.

>American interests in weakening our standing on the world stage because he didn't get a prize from an institution the countries he's threatening don't even control
>>
>>1479797
They've been heavily propagandized to think a literal antichrist is an acceptable leader.
>>
>>1479809
What do you think Trump did that weakened our standing on the world stage?
I think that Joe Biden showed weakness with his withdrawal from Afghanistan.
https://i.imgur.com/1HHvxYm.jpeg
I think that weakness eroded deterrence, which is why Russia invaded Ukraine while Biden was president. It was why Hamas felt enabled to attack Israel on October 7th.
It seems like Trump has been re-establishing deterrence, and removing the misconception that America is an easy mark.
>>
>>1479815
>What do you think Trump did that weakened our standing on the world stage?
Directly threatening our allies? Released messages showing he's literally doing this out of wounded ego for not winning a fucking noble prize? Bitching out at the mere idea of resistance showing he's a paper tiger?

>I think that weakness eroded deterrence, which is why Russia invaded Ukraine while Biden was president. It was why Hamas felt enabled to attack Israel on October 7th.
The US isn't the center of the world you fucking moron. You think Hamas gave a shit about who was in charge halfway across the planet?
>>
>>1479808
oops, shill posted his reddit response to this
bet they got more updoots on their main site
>>
>>1479812
It's sad. Americans was always a bit wacko but that was part of the charm, what is going on these recent years is something different, legit evil god complex.
>>
>>1479818
I was just quoting that press release.
I knew about the shady climate action group that Stacey Abrams got 2 billion dollars from shortly before the end of the Biden administration because I read Breitbart

Afghanistan is not very far from Palestine. They get the news in Palestine, and I am sure they met some insurgents who were basking in their victory in Afghanistan, like the rebels won in Syria and ousted Assad
>>
>>1479821
Hey the Washington Post and New York Times have a left wing Bias. Breitbart has a right wing bias.
Do you really think NPR is impartial? Do you think CNN is fair and balanced?
>>
>>1479815
wait until you find out who decided to abandon the afghanistan puppet government lmao
>>
>>1479823
Why are you trying to pretend Breitbart is news?
>>
>>1479817
All trump has done is ask for a more equitable relationship with our allies and they are literally shidding and farding themselves over it
>>
>>1479826
>more equitable relationship
>Literally annexing their territory
What kind of abuser logic is this?
>>
>>1479824
In March 2021, news reports stated that President Biden was potentially considering keeping US forces in Afghanistan until November 2021. However, on 14 April 2021, Biden announced his intention to withdraw all regular US troops by 11 September 2021, the 20th anniversary of the September 11 attacks and four months after the 1 May deadline negotiated prior.
https://www.war.gov/News/News-Stories/Article/article/2573268/biden-announces-full-us-troop-withdrawal-from-afghanistan-by-sept-11/
Joe Biden took ownership of the Afghanistan withdrawal when he broke the original withdrawal date agreement so he could get a press opportunity about ending the presence of the United States in Afghanistan 20 years after 9/11.
If he had followed the negotiated timeline and the deal collapsed according to Trump's plan, Trump would deserve the blame. But Biden took ownership, and tried to take the credit for ending the US's involvement in Afghanistan
>>
>>1479825
It is news.
So is the NYPost. They actually broke the Hunter Biden laptop story, while the NY Times and Washington Post played cover for the Democrats by saying it had all the hall marks of Russian disinformation. Even though the files that were being distributed were a copy of the hard drive of Hunter Biden's laptop, the FBI had the real laptop in their possession and could authenticate the contents. Instead they just signed letters saying it was fake, and 10% for the big guy held by H was a Russian op
>>
>>1479827
What would actually be wrong with Denmark selling Greenland? Territories have been traded throughout history.
>>
>>1479830
You mean like how the United States acquired Alaska and Louisiana?
>>
>>1479830
>What would actually be wrong with Denmark selling Greenland? Territories have been traded throughout history.
They don't want to. You cannot buy things that are not for sale. When Trump was told this, he refused to take no for an answer and instead threatened to take it by force if he had to.

This discussion should've ended at him making an offer and being told no. Instead he's spiraled it out to an international issue that's already caused massive damage to our reputation and alliances because of his slighted ego.
>>
>>1479830
The child molester needs to learn that no means no.
>>
>>1479795
>could have wasted taxpayer dollars negotiating US bases on Greenland any time he wanted
>chimps out and demands annexation
>cucks out
Other than becoming the worlds laughing stock and pushing Europe into China what exactly did he get out of this that benefits Americans?
>>
Op here, y'all are off topic.

Why did he backtrack after only 24 hours that makes it look like he doesn't know what to do. Is he getting bad advice?

Whether or not you want usa to have Greenland, why is the policy to achieve that goal fluctuating so quickly? It reeks of indecisiveness, which is another word for weakness, imo.

Did he overplay his hand?
>>
>>1479834
The US already has authority to build as many military bases on Greenland as they want. The problem is Denmark privatizing Greenland's ports and selling them to Chinese companies.
>>
>>1479836
>The problem is Denmark privatizing Greenland's ports and selling them to Chinese companies.
Which is their right as a country.
>>
>>1479836
>The problem is Denmark privatizing Greenland's ports and selling them to Chinese companies.
Why is that a problem? It sounds like a good move since Trump made it clear the US is an unreliable security partner
>>
>>1479835
>Why did he backtrack after only 24 hours that makes it look like he doesn't know what to do.
>makes it look like he doesn't know what to do.

You answered your own question. Trump's history as an actual business man is a clusterfuck of bankruptcies if you look back on it. He gets by with grifts and fraud (which he has been convicted of several times,) precisely because he doesn't know what to do.
>>
>>1479837
Didn't you hear what Carney said? The rules based order was always a farce.
>>
>>1479840
bless your heart
sweatie, they were making fun of Trump.
You know if you weren't confused by all the big words they were using
>>
>>1479797
It's because the far right wing controls almost all of America's media so they believe bunk like this. >>1479808
So the average voter will get sucked into believing trump will fix it when he's made it much worse.

As for Greenland, don't consider it over because trump will absolutely attack the country to use it as an excuse to suspend the midterms and turn America into a dictatorship.
>>
>>1479832
It's a negotiation. Everyone has a price. The only reason euros are sperging out is that it's trump making the trade.
>>
>>1479842
Hopefully the military refuses to attack an ally, who knows it might have already happened and that is why he chickened out today lol.
>>
>>1479843
No means no you fucking retard. He's not getting Greenland, which means this was a complete failure on his part.
>>
>>1479843
>The only reason euros are sperging out is that it's trump making the trade.
The US has tried to buy Greenland for hundred+ years and have been told no every time. Euros are "sperging out" because Trump is a rapist and refuse to take no for an answer.
>>
>>1479843
>Everyone has a price.
So how much for a group of homeless people to run a train on you?
>>
>>1479845
That remains to be seen. Greenland is worth more to us than it is to Denmark. If Denmark does decide to sell it out of their own volition, euros will still seethe because they have an irrational desire ton subvert western civilization
>>
>>1479850
So how much for a group of homeless people to run a train on you?
>>
>>1479851
Your metaphor reeks of irrational euroseethe. Euros perceive themselves in an adversarial role against the US. The US is acting in its own interest and the interest of Europe by proxy
>>
>>1479853
Nonsense. Your asshole is worth more to a group of homeless men than it is to you. Everything has its price, and if you're too dumb to take an offer thats in your assholes best interests than maybe stronger people should take it by force.
>>
>>1479855
Trumps already taken force off the table. But you will still seethe when Denmark voluntarily sells because you have irrational hatred of trump and the US.
>>
>>1479856
you have such a humiliating job esl shill. how do you wake up and continue living
>>
>>1479856
>But you will still seethe when Denmark voluntarily sells
And you will seethe when they say no again. You cannot buy what isn't for sale.
>>
>>1479836
Except China owns or has stakes in many US ports so this isn’t an argument
>>
>>1479862
why make it so obvious what you are, shill
>>
>>1479856
>But you will still seethe when Denmark voluntarily sells

What on earth makes you think that will happen? They have no incentive to.
>>
>>1479859
I could care less about Greenland. Altgough it is concerning that Europeans value their hatred for America over our shared mutual interests. And then they have the gall to act indignant about the state of our supposed alliance.
>>
>>1479863
Telling the truth is shilling now?
>>
>>1479856
>But you will still seethe when Denmark voluntarily sells because you have irrational hatred of trump and the US
I am screencaping this reply just to monumentalize the stupidity of Trump supporters
>>
You're not even allowed to own land in greenland, you just get an "allotment" which means you own the house/building, but not the land/earth underneath it.

I don't think they're going to sell.

Asimov said it best when he pointed out that there's always been a distinct strain of anti-intellectualism in America. To wit, "They have decided that democracy means that 'My ignorance is just as good as your knowledge'."
>>
>>1479886
Asimov wasn't prepared for foreigners with humiliation fetishes that think winning is just getting replies after posting obvious lies
>>
>>1479886
The context of that quote being Asimov whining that academics weren't respected enough. A lack of respect that has been totally vindicated in the age of "men can get pregnant."

What do you faggots even want?

Yes, your ideology deserves to be laughed at on a regular basis.

There's better ways to get humiliated over your tranny fetish than bringing it up randomly when you're being made fun of for being an ESL shill
>>
>>1479892
You can't understand the difference between critiquing him for being a warmonger and mocking him for backing down after all that bluster. Did you think he can surrender on a problem he started and everyone would congratulate him? No, he's a fucking retard for the whole affair, whether he backed off or doubled down.
>>
>>1479898
Okay, then you're a seething retard because nothing he does will satisfy you.

I didn't see people cheering when Dick Cheney died.
He was enemy #1 during the 2000s, I saw his figure in effigy during the iraq war protests
>>
>>1479903
It's funny how he asspains you so greatly. Eurokeks are a sensitive lot
>>
>>1479905
and Dick Cheney literally shot someone in the face on a hunting trip and made the guy apologize to him on live TV
Still not going to stop the entire world celebrating when Trump dies
>>
>>1479909
No you don't get it.
People didn't celebrate when Cheney died because his image was rehabilitated, just like George W Bush.
They had to say we didn't actually call him Hitler, blood for oil, and an idiot. They said he's not so bad, actually Cheney is a principaled republican, he disagreed with the new Republican Trump who is uniquely evil.
The next time a republican is in office, we will be told he is uniquely evil, that Trump wasn't really that bad, and that we should have known JD Vance or Marco Rubio were actually even worse.
>>
>>1479905
That's ~15 years to cool down. And even if Donald makes it to his mid 90s he's gotta stay out of the headlines. Fat chance.
>>
Trump thinks he's Bismark but he's just another Napoleon the third

I read through the obituaries published by New York Times, Washington Post, and other major newspaper that covered Dick Cheney's death and published obituaries, and read between the lines
He was very rehabilitated by the time of his death

So unique retardation
