President Trump can pit German against France with two small actions. First, move our troops to Poland since Germany isn’t paying its NATO dues. Second, it can raise tariffs on cars. France doesn’t care about either, but Germany will care a lot.

So it’s okay if Europe puts tariff’s on our stuff but when we do the same they get their knickers in a twist over it. I notice French cars are no longer sold in the US - quality or the lack thereof no doubt.

I’m sick of Europe to be perfectly honest. I wouldn’t mind a complete blockade of imports followed by a tweet: I hope your new trading partner, China, is also willing to protect you against Russian aggression.

If US tariffs are bad for the US economy, why is no one discussing why country X’s current and retaliatory tariffs are bad for X’s economy?
