Just read the link. It looks like a win win for both the United States and The European Union.

I won’t comment that much, because I trust the President’s instincts and leadership. That is what we elect our leaders for.

Others will see it as the first sign of the apocalypse.

Here is typical whine from the bitches on the left.

1. He's hitler
2. He's stupid.
3. He just got run over by the EU.
4. This is worse than the Japan deal.
5. The economy sucks and inflation is skyrocketing. Just wait.
6. He has dementia.

Now the rest of us can celebrate another win for the USA.

Just as bad as the Japan deal. Europe won’t make the US investment promised. They likely will make the arms and weapon purchases, some of which are tied to backfilling the Ukraine commitments. They may buy some of the US energy as promised but not nearly what the administration has asked they purchase. Europeans won’t purchase billions in US goods. I’ve spent a fair amount of time in Europe. Buying US goods isn’t really a thing over there. They believe they have better overall stuff at most price points and can always buy from Asia.

As noted in the Japan deal thread, the typical American isn’t getting any benefit from these deals and as soon as Trump leaves office, many of them will be canceled and tariffs will shrink significantly. These countries are aware of that and will play along for the next 3 years. Or until our economy suffers to the point that we start renegotiating these policies.

Right on cue blackman. You never fail to disappoint.

Neither of these deals are worth it in my opinion. The reason why, consumers still have to pay a 15% tax on imports. Sales taxes are regressive and hurt the poorest amongst us. Retirees should really hate anything that causes prices to rise.

It’s always, “just wait”. Hoping he will fail.

As usual, TDS compels the Democrats to oppose the President.

In the mean time, President Trump is winning, and winning, and winning.

And so is America.

You are assuming a democrat with no balls is POTUS. I expect Vance will be POTUS for 8 years.
