The mole-whacker-in-chief causing more chaos and burning more bridges.

If he'd release his tax forms the US public could learn which industries he's most heavily invested in.

What are the odds that the industries he's protecting are those he and his family have invested in, and the industries his approach us hurting are those he considers his personal enemies?

That's fair.

Europe is just responding to the US at the same level of childishness.

Next, Trump being the crybaby he is, will complain that people he attacked are defending themselves.

I remember when Bush Jr put a tantrum because France among others wouldn't invade Iraq with him, and that he ordered a boycott of wine and cheese, and renaming of "french" fries... Biggest laugh the country ever had !

Why is that that everything seems much more expensive in the EU? I'd always assumed it was due to over taxation.

If they really want to hurt the US, tax military items at 50%.

Fight fire with fire.

It's difficult, with market saturation in so many different formats, to boycott all American goods and exports but every little bit helps. Whether it's for economic or moral reasons.

They’ll still keep buying those Harley’s cause that’s where the quality is. Plus those bikes are very stylish. Who’d want a rice-burner over a US made Harley-Davidson??

We shall see, each will play his game.

Harleys are very niche over there”

Harleys are nice & beautiful ANYWHERE they go!

Kawasaki, Honda, Suzuki are dirty cheap. Ask anyone who rides bikes: “which would u rather own a Harley-Davidson or another bike?”
