We must not forget that it’s not only about trade. There’s also a military dimension, and if all US support to Ukraine ends abruptly and completely, then there’s a very real chance that Putin will win soon. That creates an entirely new security situation, where Russia may well attack EU countries next (like the Baltics, for example).

One can only hope.

Unfortunately Europe can’t very well afford to play hardball with him - not just because it’s economically harmful to Europe, but also because Europe wants to keep at least some sort of foreign policy and military alliance, and cooperation in the midst of the war in Ukraine.

So EU already scrapped the plans of digital tax, giving Trump a win and gaining exactly nothing from this. There is still hope that Europe will pressure him at least a little bit - but not much hope, I’m afraid.

It is indeed bad for US businesses and consumers, and therefore for US economy in general, but as US market is so big and important, it’s also bad for countries doing business with US, including in Europe, like, for example, German carmakers or French and Italian alcohol exporters.

Again, it’s a spectrum

A spectrum from evil to stupid? Nah. There can be two spectrums at play, one of evil and one of stupidity, but not a single one. These categories are not mutually exclusive in any way, and usually Nazis show high scores on both spectrums. I have yet to see one Nazi who’s not stupid, and that includes both Trump and Elon Musk.

I would argue that a Nazi is inevitably evil, and being stupid is a prerequisite of being a Nazi, because ultimately it’s a self-defeating ideology that requires stupidity to believe in.

It’s sarcasm from a parody account. Look at his handle and his other tweets.
