EU should look out for ourselves. No need to choose anyone. Work on mutually beneficial relationship, that benefits Europe.

Only thing American voters cared about was American soldiers dying. Majority of Americans didn't even remember or cared that a million Iraqis died.

Yup. US dollar is not the reserve currency because it's attractive. It is the reserve currency because there simply is no alternative. There simply is no asset that can hold hundreds of trillions of dollar.

Let me tell you another irony.

Scott Bessent, Trump's Treasury Secretary, worked for George Soros, and was one of the key architect for the attack on British Sterling. Go read the wikipedia on Bessent if you don't believe me.

Not sure how relevant this is to buy European.

Trump and his supporters do not care even if it hurts them. It is all about hurting people they do not like.

Tariff is a consumption tax. The poorest spends most of their income on consumption like groceries, clothing, car parts, etc. The price of all of that is going up.

Next stockmarket wipeout reduces wealth of middle class the most, who in turn reduces spending on services that employee working class people.

Poorest always gets hit the hardest in any negative economic event because they are poor.

The term conservative media is using is "globalists".

Easier to whip their voter into panic.

Aren't drop shippers finished with the recent tariffs, especially closing the loophole of de minimis?
