Their biggest imports from the UK are pharmaceuticals, so he’s making the cost of medicine even higher for US citizens.

All the evidence points to this being something that Trump has long intended to do

I think many are missing here Trump's major achievement of reininstating plastic straws back to the general public...
Paper straws just suck.

He really is a narcissistic twat…I think the whole,e of Europe should make a combined effort to stop buying anything American ..even if it’s just for a month , cancel all streaming subscriptions for a month ,no fast food outlets boycott American holidays .. see how his ten percent tariffs go then

I think Europe should put a collective bid together and say we want to buy the US.
Then the US can move to Greenland and be a much smaller nation.

Yeah but the last time they did that,they ended up killing all Indians, should be easier this time I think, it's only life after all,so long as it's not his cos he's a victim you know?

Do you see him forcing his way to some sort of 'win' at some point over this? I'm not sure exactly what (bigger NATO contributions to security costs? One sided minerals deals?) But the thought that 'might' may prove right again for him sickens me.“Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, The United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Finland have journeyed to Greenland, for purposes unknown … This is a very dangerous situation for the Safety, Security, and Survival of our Planet.”
Whoever follows Trump has a hell of a job restoring US standing and trust. Unless its more of his lot that wont give a fuck either.

Even if they elected someone with a brain and a moral compass, they could simply vote in someone like him in another few elections’ time. What this term is showing is that the US doesn’t actually have effective guard rails against a tyrant wannabe dictator.
Impeachment requires two thirds of the Senate. You will not get 15-20 Republicans doing that even if he invaded Western Europe.

If he took Greenland by force, I think it'd be the end of him. No doubt there will be some kind of agreement reached that allows him and his cronies to syphon off profits.
If Vance gets in next, I think he will actually be even more antagonistic towards Europe in general.

It will take decades to repair what this regime will have done by the time they eventually piss off.

If he actually invaded Western Europe, his presidency would be over in weeks.

Hours probably
Trump is allergic to protracted military action so I don’t see an invasion happening unless they are positive there will be no resistance. Either way I think NATO is done for. The whole thing is bizarre.
