This is why it’s ridiculous that media in other countries are criticising their politicians for not responding harshly to Trump’s tariffs with tariffs of their own.
When America applies tariffs on imports it’s Americans who pay them. It affects foreign business slightly, in the form of reduced sales, but the real victims are Americans. When other countries apply tariffs, the main victims are their citizens.
The correct response to someone punching themselves in the face is not to punch yourself in the face.
Don’t care, i want my government to make your government suffer. Fuck all Americans for letting that orange turd take office, and for letting him threaten to invade my country.
Fuck every Trump supporter from now until they die. Unless they turn around 180 and starts campaigning for AOC or something, nobody who ever voted Trump will ever be worth the same as other human lives.
Fuck anyone who didn’t vote. Your absense made all of this possible. Your sad little attempt to show the DNC Whats what has handed the worlds largest military to the fascists. Shame on you.
And fuck their left wing, for being so stuck up on “hurtful words” for the past many decades, that the economical corruption just got to run rampant. You divided your country just like they wanted you to, you weak minded twats.
So yeah, whatever my government can do to make the American people suffer, i am all for it. If it also hurts me thats fine too, because we are many countries ready to all hurt a little, to make the Yankees hurt a lot. Fuck them.
The point I’m making is that retaliatory tariffs don’t make Americans suffer, let alone the American government. They maybe mean some American businesses make a little bit less money, but that’s it. What tariffs really do is make that country’s people suffer.
The American government is already making Americans suffer with American tariffs. It makes no sense for other countries to make their own people suffer with their own tariffs.
Ultimately, tariffs are a tax; they take money from the people and put it in the government’s pocket. I wouldn’t want my governmet taking more of my money, not at least without some plan for what it’s going to be spent on (and those plans being in my or the country’s interest).
If America wants to tax Americans for buying overseas then that’s their problem, and it doesn’t mean that Europe or other countries should start taxing their own citizens.
We can get almost everything from other places than usa. If it gets more Europeans to boycut American companies, thats definitely worth a little suffering.
People are already boycotting American things on their own, it doesn’t make sense to punish them. If anything, that’s more likely to backfire and make that government look bad towards its people.
The only way tariffs work is if the revenue collected from them is used to do something for the country setting them. America isn’t doing that, America is being stupid. Trump is going to rinse America dry and all the tariff money American taxpayers paid will be gone (probably by the government investing in a classic and obvious crypto scam meme coin).
Other countries shouldn’t be stupid like America, they should only apply tariffs with a plan to re-invest the revenue back into their country. If they even need to apply tariffs at all; I’d argue not.

That’s because the media in other countries is largely owned by the same people as the media in America…
