Trump is now signing the paperwork.

The thing is what most people don't realise is America heavily relies on the UK and the UK could financially cripple them with tarrifs and sanctions if they chose to

It's like Eurovision.

That's true but there's enough global demand for that product to mitigate it to some extent

''Liberation Day'' also having the balls to call it that, like literally



maybe for the super rich americans, but not for the working class americans



no more imports from all those nations, the working class will suffer quite a lot



and as if we in europe have many american products

Renault - NOPE

Fiat - NOPE

Aston Martin - NOPE

Toyota - NOPE

Unilever - NOPE


but yeah if Trump wants the working class americans to really hate him with everything they got, this is the way to go, and as for Vance, shame on him for going along with the elites like a sheepie, rather than staying loyal to where he comes from

[Nicky91]

oh boo hoo, we don't have Ford anymore


never liked that outdated pre-war crap brand of car anyway

The world is full of free loaders so I don’t blame America

There's loads of Pharma in Ireland and especially in Cork, I'd imagine he's just not wanting to upset his supply until he can move more to the US, it's a big undertaking though, not sure that's doable in one term for him. But yeah that would hit us very badly.
