I say:

Lets bring the rebelling colonies back in line!

No matter how bleak the days may seem. As long as the free world stands together, a fortress of true democracy, true freedom, we shall prevale.

Rise now we shall, work today for a golden future tomorrow! That those that come after us will say "see these mighty people, ordinary men, woman and others. Standing ground, standing firm in the face of opression. Not bending to get comfort, but withstanding hardship and let the rotten corps of their enemy decay by itself!"

An age as golden as canadas Maple syrup, as golden as french cheese, as golden as german beer, as golden as italian instruments, as golden as polish roofs, as golden as the scandinavian hair, as golden as iberian drylands! A golden future awaits us once we gotten rid of the bold eagles chains!

Aye, good fellow, thou speak’st with the wisdom of the ancients! Let it be known across the land that Europe and Canada, bound by blood, wit, and old-world cunning, shall stand as one against the brash and boisterous Yanks!

Let them boast of their might and prattle of their triumphs, yet we shall meet them with a union most steadfast, a league of wisdom and steel, tempered in the fires of history. With Europe’s age-old craft and Canada’s hardy spirit, we shall make merry sport of them, and with jest and jesting, lay them low in fair contest!

So raise thy flag, grasp thy quill or sword, and let us set forth, for victory shall be ours, and the Yanks shall rue the day they thought to best the Old World and its northern kin! What say’st thou?

What are you gonna do? Tariff yourself into isolation?

Yes, I believe they that was Puti- I mean, Trump’s plan…

When he finally finishes his wall, I hope he makes it a sound-proof dome. It would be so refreshing to not hear from him, at least for some days.

America IS a country of putresecent fatfuck ignorant rednecks.

I just assume tariffs will hit 9000% eventually.

That is... if Trump and his fuckers realize taxes and percentages can exceed 100%.

It is already a lost cause.

Reminds me of that scene from the emperor's new groove

"Tell us where they are and I'll burn your house down!"

"Don't you mean or?"

Many have proposed improvements for better social media to address these issues. Even i made a (bad ?) post about it 1 month ago :

This is the main issue I have while using Lemmy for a few weeks now. Echo chambers really become each other's echoes. The amount of deja vu 'news' that I have already seen a week ago from another community on another instance is too high. The same discussion goes on repeat. Feels like going in circles.

"I keep making the tariffs worse, and when you agreed to do what I wanted for border security, I made the tariffs worse, and if you don't do what I want, I'll make the tariffs worse, and if you start working together to negate how bad the tariffs are, I'll make the tariffs worse!"

If this only moves in one direction regardless of what anyone does, prepare for the entire world to just act like you do not exist at all.

>No! You're not allowed to have any new boyfriends either!!

Lmfao what a fat fucking turd of a country, go fuck yourself America, forever.

Enjoy being leader of the world of 1 country. See how far that gets you.

America has 1/10th the natural resource per capita as Canada, and most of Canada's mineral deposits are still unexplored. You want a trade war, you can have one you dumb fucks.

What are you gonna do? Tariff yourself into isolation? While Europe, UK, Canada, Mexico and possibly the rest of the British commonwealth trade and work more together to make up for the loss of the US?

If you think you don't need us then stop crying about it. Just do it. The free world has called your bluff, so either admit you're weak and take the loss graciously, or take the consequences of your continued actions (though we already know which option will be chosen).

Bring it on, homeboy. 🖕

Yet it somehow doesn't strike him as off at all that long standing allies suddenly feel a need to band against us. It's a mystery I say, maybe they just woke up and had a bad morning...

u/Alterforlett@lemmy.world · 38 points

On the off chance any trump supporters are reading this.

We are, hopefully, banding closer together because your leaders are alienating you from us. We never wanted this trade war and we never asked to have our sovereignty threatened.

It's not against you. It's for us. You're stepping away from your allies, so we have to be closer.

The president of the United States of America is angry that starting a trade war has started a trade war. I would be appalled, if this wasn't just par for the course at this point.

Ok, I'm just an armchair conspiracy theorist, but it just dawned on me that is all possibly still part of Russia's take over the world plan.

If Russia wants to take Europe, he needs the US.

How would you get at least the dumbest citizens to turn against Europe? *By making European goods prohibitively expensive, tanking the economy, and blaming it on Europe.* Then, he'll continue to double down, and force us into a full wartime economy by re-activating the draft, and pulling Gen-zers and younger millennials into it. Saying the whole time "Canada and Europe left us no choice."

Would that work? It worked for Germany. Our economy isn't *nearly* shitty enough yet, but through this process he might be able to do it. If y'all think it's getting bad, it's gonna get even worse very quickly.

Is the fight you picked not going as well as you had hoped, Donald?

u/karel3s@lemm.ee · 12 points

"… in order to protect the best friend that each of those two countries has ever had".

So Europe is a country now 😏?

u/dwaem@lemm.ee · 8 points

Gazillion percent tariff incoming, you did it to yourselves Eurob and Canapka

u/pleasegoaway@lemm.ee · 7 points

The trump regime was designed to TANK the US economy so that stocks, businesses, and industries can be bought by billionaires at rock bottom prices.

All is going according to plan.
