Donald Trump announces plans to hit the UK, Denmark and other European countries with a 10% tariff on “all or any goods” exported to the US from 1 February

In a post on Truth Social, the US president says these will remain in place until “such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland”

    The truths in the Epstein Files must be devastating when the tangerine turd tries so hard to distract from them.

      It’s like saying Hitler attacked Poland and organised holocaust just to distract the German public… No, at some point you guys need to admit it, the guy is a power hungry lunatic.

        He is, but the Epstein files is the one thing his base has actually reacted to with possibly disgust. They are fine with literally everything else he does.

        So this is a case of him being a power hungry fuck that also works well to distract from the one thing that might cause consequences. It can be two things.

          If there’s one thing his base are good at it is ignoring the truth. I seriously doubt they would believe the content of the Epstein files to be true, eve if Donald Trump directly said they were.

        Hitler was actually clear from the start about making Germany great again and immigrants, foreigners and jews being ‘undesirable’. Oh wait.

          And Hitler was perfectly fine with just deporting Jews, to Madagascar I believe was his idea until it turned out to be a stupid and impractical idea. So I guess Trump is just at the pre-mass murder stage right now.

            It wasn’t just the jews… The Nuremberg laws also included “Gypsies, Negroes, and their bastards”.

        Eventually we’ll find out both Hitler and Churchill are in the Epstein files.

      I think Trump is just obsessed with the thought of having the legacy of expanding US’ borders. I bet he thinks all scandals will be forgotten but you can’t forget how the territory was expanded.

      Honestly it would be great if the other countries released whatever they have on Epstein and Trump. The UK at a minimum has to have a ton of dirt hidden away from when that ghoul in the royal family got publicly shamed fo it.

      Not Russia because they can’t be trusted of course.
