I think we're approaching a point at which the universal international response to the latest Trump bullshit and bloviations is going to be "Go fuck yourself."
I wouldn't call it a point. It is a trend of many years.
A few years before Trumpeltier's first term, we could already watch that Usa maneuvered itself further and further away from the international communities, but only little by little at first. Then came Trumpeltier and he accellerated it very much. On his second term, even much more, stronger and faster. Nowadays it is visible even to the deaf and the blind and probably the whole world.
"Go fuck yourself."
Yes, Usa is provoking such reactions. They are literally begging for it.
I'm sure China is observing very attentively. If it weren't for the EU upholding international rules and taking action that make the negative effects very obvious, China would have probably started their own invasion already. But they're dependent too, and maybe not so sure of a thorough success anymore.
I am thinking / hoping that the EU entertaining a trade deal was similar to how I agree with my young daughter to avoid a silly meltdown. Sometimes it works, sometimes it just delays the meltdown.

Yeah we did reach the "Go fuck yourself" tipping point.

Good work Parliament; they listened to the people and the mood.

Tax big tech; Ban Facebook and X; Impose the same 10/25% on everything; Sell US treasuries.
I'm well aware it would hurt us as well, but we passed that point where we had a choice

We need to demonstrably wipe our arses on it and send it back to Trump's offices.
Even that might be too subtle.

We need literally do it like that.
