Donald J. Trump @realDonald Trump The European Union, one of the most hostile and abusive taxing and tariffing authorities in the World, which was formed for the sole purpose of taking advantage of the United States, has just put a nasty 50% Tariff on Whisky. If this Tariff is not removed immediately, the U.S. will shortly place a 200% Tariff on all WINES, CHAMPAGNES, & ALCOHOLIC PRODUCTS COMING OUT OF AND OTHER E.U. REPRESENTED COUNTRIES. This will be great for the Wine and Champagne businesses in the U.S. 24 Likes 6 Shares |

And then European nations retaliate with their own 250% tariffs on U.S. goods. Who bears the brunt of this trade war? Certainly not the politicians making these decisions, but the everyday citizens who rely on these goods and services. Trump, in his usual fashion, seems to believe that the United States is immune to consequences—as if the global economy operates in a vacuum. He envisions a world where America dictates without repercussions, forgetting that international trade is a two-way street. What goes around always comes around. If the U.S. slaps excessive tariffs on other nations, those nations will respond in kind, and in the end, it's the consumers and businesses that suffer from rising prices and economic instability. But beyond Trump’s flawed approach, this escalating tariff war should serve as a wake-up call for all nations. Too many countries have built their economies on dependencies, relying on imports for essential goods rather than investing in self-sufficiency. This kind of over-reliance has made them vulnerable to the whims of global politics. Instead of constantly playing defense in trade wars, nations should focus on strengthening their industries, producing what they need, and reducing their dependence on any single country. The world needs balanced trade, not economic brinkmanship driven by ego. If leaders continue to treat international trade like a game of dominance, the people will continue to pay the price. 177 Likes 18 Shares |

Trump's second teure is proving to be a disaster to Americans and the civilized world, the earlier they impeach this werey president, the better for Americans and the peace of the world, because trump is currently behaving like a mad cow in an expensive shop, destroying expensive items unchecked. I believe the American system will soon throw him out of their system, if he continue in this direction. 37 Likes 7 Shares |

The tariff war. Imagine all govt imposing hefty tariffs, the cost gets transferred to the final consumer(mostly citizens), then inflates the selling prices as well as adjust supply-demand dynamics. Tarrifs are indirect ways of milking consumers while pretending to hurt the sellers/manufacturers. Very lazy approach to sustainable productivity and growth.

Trump is a man that wants to bully and fight the whole world. . But when it comes to Putin issues, he smiles and crawls like a toddler. When it comes to global economic power, trade and productivity, Russia is not even in the top 10. He is a cunning man. 24 Likes 4 Shares |
