Spain should return the favor by seizing Trump crime family assets in their country (if any) and imposing economic sanctions on the US.

Thy should invite him for a party and arrest him for fucking kids.

The EU should cut off trade with US.

I mean that would be the result if the orange idiot goes through with his announcement, as the EU has a unified trade policy to protect their member states of attacks like that.

I'm pretty sure this action invalidates the trade deal they just signed.

Again

I have altered the deal. Pray I don't alter it further.

Trump needs spray tans because his skin is so thin it’s transparent.

Well, the back of his neck is rotting away, so he might be undead.

Leprosy or Ghoul?

Has there been follow up on that? Legit looks like he’s got a serious infection. Saw someone say it kinda looks like a noose slipped

outofthisworld@lemmy.org · 2 pts · 161d (3 replies)

Haha don’t get your hopes up on that noose. He loves his life.

Old people get skin things. They heal slower. It could have been he scratched too hard, it got infected, and it looked all gross.

I need hope damnit!!!

outofthisworld@lemmy.org · 2 pts · 161d (1 reply)

Oh boy I feel that. However, false hope, like “god,” will get you nowhere in the long run.

There is no hope for the US. But a gun and hope they don’t come down your street.

cmbabul@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 161d

You ain’t wrong, but sometimes a bit of false hope to keep you moving is ok. And I’m already strapped

This is not how the EU works..

It is, nominally, not how the US works either.

This is really what I'm wondering. Like, he definitely doesn't understand this, but since when has "not understanding something" stopped Trump?

notsosure@sh.itjust.works · 11 pts · 162d (1 reply)

Unlike Trump, Sanchez has cojones.

As a Spaniard, no he doesn't. I can't help to loudly chuckle every time I see the press call him a 'Socialist' (not that I'm a commie either, mind you, but I'm not in a very different way than him) because the 'Spanish Worker's Socialist Party' (lol) would be even slightly to the right of the American DNC imho, their a monarchist party after all. This is just an (quite fortunately) easy political win, and a diversion from all the shit the PSOE, and Sánchez in particular, have right now in their hands.

What trade ya wanker?

Since he started with the tariffs I've been trying to find a product labeled as 'Made in USA', no success so far. American brand tools are made here in the EU, Mexico, or China. Cars? No. Food? Nope.

What about our products over there? Well, Spanish wine and olive oil are mainly labeled and sold as French and Italian, respectively, so...

Good for Spain. Now just eject all americans and bar them from entry

That doesn't sound legal....

Bully using his money-stick again. Surprise, surprise.

Trying to hold a NATO state accountable for actions they aren't required to do while NATO releases that they won't side with the US will probably earn some repercussions.
