Donald Trump announces plans to hit the UK, Denmark and other European countries with a 10% tariff on “all or any goods” exported to the US from 1 February

In a post on Truth Social, the US president says these will remain in place until “such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland”

    The truths in the Epstein Files must be devastating when the tangerine turd tries so hard to distract from them.

      It’s like saying Hitler attacked Poland and organised holocaust just to distract the German public… No, at some point you guys need to admit it, the guy is a power hungry lunatic.

        Hitler was actually clear from the start about making Germany great again and immigrants, foreigners and jews being ‘undesirable’. Oh wait.

          And Hitler was perfectly fine with just deporting Jews, to Madagascar I believe was his idea until it turned out to be a stupid and impractical idea. So I guess Trump is just at the pre-mass murder stage right now.

        Weeeeeelll, the Nazis had illegally taken out a bunch of loans and hidden that fact with financial trickery. That’s how they managed to pay for rearmament. All those loans were coming due, the Nazis couldn’t pay and didn’t want to admit what they’d done so yeah, they invaded Poland. I mean, it wasn’t purely distraction, they also hoped to seize gold and foreign currency in Polish possession but distraction was a huge part of it.

          Back when debt was something to reckon with instead of just being a an infinite money exploit for trillionaire speedruns.

        Eventually we’ll find out both Hitler and Churchill are in the Epstein files.

      I think Trump is just obsessed with the thought of having the legacy of expanding US’ borders. I bet he thinks all scandals will be forgotten but you can’t forget how the territory was expanded.

        We remember, hundreds of years later, we remember. We tore down monuments to them, we will tear down those you erect for yourself even faster.
