This new trend of using "slam", "blast" and "torch" in each and every headline in a cheap effort to make it more sensational annoys the living shit out of me. It's like English for toddlers...

No surprise. All revolutions that start with noble ends for freedom and equality invariably end up becoming dictatorships themselves. Sometimes it takes 249 years, but they all go sour eventually.
Well they're right: it really feels like 1934 Germany right now.
They stopped the shipments cold türkiye.
$1m would be insulting.
$10k is beyond insulting. That's probably one the cheapest entry fees to one of his disgusting Mar-a-Lago fundraisers.
Trump really has a knack for insulting people. He's basically saying "You're worth a fifth of a Tesla car". How cheap can you be...
As bad as Trump's craziness is, it does have a silver lining: this is Europe's chance to wean off the US - both the military protection provided by the US and US technology. It's decades overdue.
Europe absolutely needs to be its own superpower and stand on its own two feet, both militarily and technologically, and I reckon Trump is the incitation it needed.
That’s a critical passageway for the US. It’d be something like the Strait of the Gibraltar being severed for Europe,
It's quite different: the Panama Canal belongs to Panama and theirs to do as they please. Gibraltar, while not international waters, is free to all navigation for the purpose of crossing under the Law of the Sea Convention and may not be closed off by either Spain or Morocco.
Panamá should ban all military ships from all nations from going through the canal. That would go a long way towards promoting world peace and easing trade.
Of course, realistically, they would be invaded by the US faster than you can say "Pissing off the richest military dictatorship in the world isn't a smart idea". Still, the idea is appealing.
Well, Americans can always wipe their asses with newspapers like in the old days, and that's pretty much the only thing their press is good for these days anyway.
Trump may have shot the US in the foot on that one: I have a feeling Europe will finally do what they should have done decades ago - i.e. ween itself off the US' protection, and also off US tech, with France taking the lead on the military effort at least - and this may hasten the US' slide into irrelevance.
Do you know that Canada has a 250 per cent tariff? Two hundred and fifty, nobody knows that. They charge us numbers that are crazy.
Cheeto continues to be totally ignorant of how tariff work.
