Do not give money to this Nazi country.
Or to the other Nazi country.
Let’s agree to never give money to any nazi counties in the future as well. Sort of a nazi boycott if that’s legal.
hmmm interesting idea… pass fascist trigger laws that automatically sanction countries for certain kinds of backsliding. not specifics - gotta leave it vague so that fascists can’t just technically work around it

Well, because of so many of them making laws these days.
In USA it’s illegal to Boycott Israel…

Sorry, just making fun of a law recently proposed in the U.S. that would outlaw the act of supporting a boycott.
Trump said it was illegal to boycott tesla.
I’m sure he was just talking out his arse but still.
Is the difference between boycotting and not buying something that you tell other people to not buy as well for a certain reason? Seems like free speech
As an American, I support this! 👍
The faster he fucks too much with the money, the sooner they get rid of him.
Oh you European nerds don’t want to buy American?
Well guess what. Neither do we!
And we now get to pay an freaking fine for buying goods from outside of America.
Tbf, nothing is made in America, so I doubt we will have the opportunity to pay less
America sells a ton of services. Netflix, Amazon, Uber, Visa, Mastercard etc. Its possible to cut most out but very difficult to cut it all out in Canada. Perhaps it’s easier in Europe.
This is the part of the ‘trade deficit’ story he and his supporters intentionally leave out. America has a massive trade surplus when it comes to exporting services.
He’s just a symptom. The people whose money he’s screwing with are the disease

i can’t wait for the great depression

Bigly depression
Great Again depression
You know what comes with a depression right? America is already setting the stage for its fascist phase. I wonder who the good guys will be as America turns heel.
that or the socialists
*west and north eu
Yeah. The countries that can choose to not do trade with America and not suffer too much because of it.
That’s basically Trumps politics, making people suffer. Imagine voting for someone just because you want others to have it worse than you do. Like there is nothing to gain and everyone loses.
It’s not even stupidity, it just pure hatred and disdain for other people that fuels MAGA.
“Some of you might die, but that’s the price I’m willing to pay for it”. Literally Shrek-like cartoon villainy.
The US slowly turning into Russia. Already a propaganda driven oligarchy, and the bitterness will follow as those with a brain start to leave.
Just remember all the software (games and apps) and media that is produced in America
Just remember that Sony (PlayStation) or Nintendo is not American and neither is Ubisoft.
No matter how much I despise the US, I don’t think I’d ever pick Nintendo or Ubisoft over American game companies. Those two alone are doing wonders to destroy everything we used to love about video games.
But they produce some of their games in the US.
Outside of Software, I can’t think of anything I buy that’s American.
I can think of American made versions of a bunch of the things I buy and the American made versions as always worse. Even American companies like 3M mostly manufacture in Europe since they can get good quality there unlike USA.
Sadly, a bunch of things people buy are American owned but sold under a more local brand name, especially food or snack items, but also many other things.
For example: A scary amount of Europeans don’t know that Mondelēz International is an American company. It was started by Kraft, famous for their “processed cheese product”. And they own brands like Cadbury, Milka, Toblerone, Marabou/Freia, etc.
Coca-Cola also own a lot of “local” flavoured drinks.
Mondelēz might be international but productions are local. They have plenty of manufactures all accords France, Belgium and Netherlands, to stick with the ones I know.
At least coca-cola have the courtesy of making the ownership known so brand loyalist can support the billionaire they like, while i can easily identify who to boycott.

take a crap in my face? no thanks
I don’t know why they put tariffs on movies though.
Surely movies are the one thing Americans export more of than they import.
So they tariff them, we tariff theirs in response… American influence wanes around the globe.
I mean, I’m not complaining, half of Hollywood seems to be using shitty AI to write dogshit scripts. It just makes no fucking sense.
