Current approach should cause fear for American business. I think Europe could compete well with US at zero tariffs. Definitely better than their slow or eventual response to high US tariffs.

God I hope so. There are only so many things that I as an American can not support American businesses on.

He really is just the most pathetic person. "Empathy is a weakness." -> "Feel bad for me, people won't buy my cars.".
"I'm a top gamer." -> Dies in the tutorial mission.
"Europe is weak and liberal." -> We should join Schengen and drop all tariffs.
It'd be funny if he wasn't disgustingly wealthy and powerful.
