I am almost certain that if Americans were required to show 5 years of their phone numbers, emails and social media accounts in order to enter the EU, the reaction would not be some polite chuckles, eye rolls and a few jokes about EU turning into North Korea.

EU: "Since X no longer does any verification of an account, X needs to call it something other than verification because that term is misleading."
Shellenberger: "EU wants to censor who gets verified and who doesn't!
EU is in breach of NATO treaty!
Civilizational suicide!"

The craziest part about these Trump tariff letters are how schizophrenic they are.
They start off innocently enough only for polite Dr Jekyll to turn into ramblings of a drunken madman Mr Hyde.
If it would not be the current state of US foreign and trade policy, it'd be funny.
