The president's threat to impose tariffs on countries that oppose his desire to acquire Greenland shows that he does not see tariffs as an economic tool to help America, but as a weapon to hurt his enemies. That's the fundamental nature of his entire presidency.

Just stupid and a triumph for Russia.
New tariff just dropped.
Americans set to pay an additional 10% tax on all goods from Germany, the UK, France, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland.
It starts in two weeks, rising to 25% by June.
(Aside: A trade war with one EU country is a trade war with the entire EU).

Boy, they really want to stage a fight. I hope today’s soldiers understand history, beyond the ‘glory’ of ‘war fighting’, when vets of some wars were terribly mistreated by the general population when their cause was illegal & unpopular.
