Regarding the tariffs on goods from the EU, I have seen some who are completely wrong in their discussions. We have something in all (as far as I know) EU memberstates that is called VAT. VAT is a consumertax that is paid for by the end user. VAT can vary slightly between countries and depending on what it is. VAT has nothing to do with where the goods comes from/is manufactured. It is applied equally for goods from within the EU.

So much corruption, and so much abject stupidity. What a f*cking mess. 😕

“It feels rather as if Trump is throwing any strong words he can at the wall to distract from a series of news stories that are not going his way.”

On his social media feed yesterday evening, President Donald J.

“The poll taken last week found that only 40 percent of rural voters approve of Trump’s job performance, down from 59 percent in February, according to Newsweek. Forty-five percent of respondents said they disapproved of Trump’s performance in April, which is up from 37 percent who said they disapproved in February.”

Shock Poll: Core Part of Trump’s Base is Abandoning Him

Rural voters are rapidly souring on the president, thanks in large part to his decision to tank the economy for no reason.

“Despite the attempt of right-wing media to hide the [economic] crisis, more than half of Americans have heard unfavorable business news coverage of the government’s policies. While MAGA continues to approve of Trump, he’s rapidly losing support among the rest of the coalition that put him into office.”
