A UK rag riffing on relations between the US and EU. There's nothing for the EU to panic at.

This is just rage bait; ignore.

The panic should be on the U.S. side of the Atlantic. Because that would crash our economy.

Herbert Hoover was an economic genius who could do no wrong.

Pretty calm here for a "panic".

[–] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago

It would have been ridiculous to think this a decade ago, but if Trump gets a second term, China might actually be the better diplomatic and trade partner for the EU...

[–] Mim@lemmy.zip 2 points 9 hours ago

Was gonna say, it's the first I heard of it.
So it must be a really YUGE panic over here.

Cars, and wegovy/all those weight loss drugs, also many of the main covid vaccines.

Novo nordisk has been a massive windfall for Denmark.

[–] calcopiritus@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

So the top exports are: medicines and medicines. Got it

Imagine being that stupid. Or that much of a Russian stooge. Or both.

So uh… this is how he reacts when Bloomberg specifically calls him out on his bullshit in an interview?

Fascinating. He’s going to turn off all the big money donors with this shit. He’s essentially proposing to crater the US (and by extension, the world) economy.

[–] DandomRude@lemmy.world 9 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

Trump and all those who vote for him are aware that China is one of the most important sales markets for the EU, right?

[–] Docus@lemmy.world 16 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

Build a wall around the US. We’ll pay, the amount of stupidity leaking out is problematic. (Apologies to the sensible and nice people that live there)

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 9 points 15 hours ago

Would that be a ... paywall?

[–] random_character_a@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

Isn't it enough just to cut under sea telecom cables, piss off Elon and make other satellite tech expensive af.

[–] Kalkaline@leminal.space 6 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Putin still has time to polonium him.

[–] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Why would you kill your star employee?

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

So you can spread word that the democrats killed him and start a civil war.

[–] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

Sure, why not, I have no plans this weekend.
