        It blows my mind. How can you attack all your allies with tariffs and literal threats of invasion, start a pointless fucked up war that hurts everyone including those not involved, and then ask your “allies” to hurt themselves a bit more because now you’re feeling the results of your own actions

        I hope the only response the EU has to this is to laugh in Trump’s face

      Trump’s people aren’t even admitting that the USA started this war. They seem to be trying to build a narrative in which the USA is simply defending itself from Iran’s attacks. The fact that the USA attacked Iran first is no longer considered a fact.

        These braindead Nazis don’t even consider Biden winning the 2020 election a fact. You could tell them the sky is blue and they would argue that it’s actually red while sucking on their pedophile king’s diaper

        Just like they are “defending” from our “retaliatory” tariffs. Poor US under fire from all these asshole countries that take advantage of them by checks notes trading with them. Keep it up guys, you are definitely winning on all fronts except the real ones

      saying U.S. consumers and businesses should not bear the burden of global supply disruptions.

      lol okay? Half of all Americans voted for this and the rest of the pain being inflicted on the world by their country, so with all due respect (none), they can go fuck themselves
