EU to Trump - 'We can also do stupid'

Juncker responds to Trump's trade tariffs: 'We can also do stupid'

European Commission chief Jean-Claude Juncker has vowed to fight back against US President Donald Trump's threat of a 25% tariff on steel and 10% on aluminium imports.

"So now we will also impose import tariffs. This is basically a stupid process, the fact that we have to do this. But we have to do it. We will now impose tariffs on motorcycles, Harley Davidson, on blue jeans, Levis, on Bourbon. We can also do stupid. We also have to be this stupid," he said in Hamburg on Friday evening.

And so it begins. The cheers of the US steel makers will soon be drowned out by the yelps of the bourbon distilleries and in the end nobody wins.

I see this as a good thing, Harley Davidson is supposed to be American made anyway, we have plenty of other alcoholic drinks, levis have gotten cheaply made anyway, China could make better quality.
It’s all about Americans being treaded fairly in these trade deals, don’t you want that for your fellow Americans?

Hey EU! Nobody does stupid like Trump. The stupid war with Trump is just plain unwinnable.

The EU leaders are the last people we should ever listen too, kind of like Tommy.

I'm sure they can. The EU has been doing stupid since it's inception so why would we think they would stop now. That has nothing to do with Trump.

BTW- How is Brexit going? Haven't heard much lately.
 
This is so laughable. Do you have any idea how many thousands of types/brands of American goods are not even allowed to be sold in the EU because of the EU's staunch protectionism? Do you know what the EU's tariffs are on the comparatively few American goods that can be sold in the EU?

Conservatives, stop buying this globalist/free trader propaganda. If protecting industries and jobs is okay for China, South Korea, and the EU, why is not okay for us?

Know I don't know so why don't you provide a link of the brands since you spouted off.

the US duty on raw tobacco is 350% and over 130% for peanuts from EU.
 
The one good thing about the GOP was their stances on free trade and capitalism. It’s shocking how quickly and easily they abandoned them.

The one BAD thing about the GOP has always been their mantra of “free trade” which was code word for selling out our industries and jobs to cheap Chinese labor.
Hey, if the Chinese can do it cheaper, that frees us up to INNOVATE, something Americans used to be pretty good at. Maybe we could spend more of our new found "free time" finding a better way of doing it, instead of blaming the "chinese boogey man", or here's a crazy idea, create a product/service of a QUALITY the chinese cannot match.

Whatever you do, stop being so easily duped, and take some damn responsibility for yourself. Find a way or MAKE one.

THAT USED TO BE THE AMERICAN WAY

The Chinese do it “cheaper” because they use what amounts to slave labor.
All outsourcing just destroys middle class jobs in America, which is one of the primary goals of globalist pigs.

"The U.S. has lost 5 million factory jobs since 2000. And trade has indeed claimed production jobs – in particular when China joined the World Trade Organization in 2001. Nevertheless, there was no downturn in U.S. manufacturing output. As a matter of fact, U.S. production has been growing over the last decades. From 2006 to 2013, “manufacturing grew by 17.6%, or at roughly 2.2% per year,” according to a report from Ball State University. The study reports as well that trade accounted for 13% of the lost U.S. factory jobs, but 88% of the jobs were taken by robots and other factors at home."
Don’t Blame China For Taking U.S. Jobs

Or maybe you should educate yourself before you shout about how you know things. Just a thought.

As for the labor situation in China, I agree, what can we do though? The only thing I know of is stop buying their stuff. But then again, that would cripple the U.S. retail market. So, yeah, simple answers to complex problems are GREAT!!!

What can we do? Are you this moronic? We can put tariffs on their goods until they clean up their human rights abuses and stop shitting on the environment. Funny how leftwingers claim to care about the environment yet have no problem rewarding China for shitting on the environment.

Hahahahahah! :laughing0301:

Let them do that then. Eurofags can buy cheap crappy Chinese or Japanese rice-burner motorcycles, ratty knockoff jeans from China, and all the Russian vodka they want.

That's just more of the good stuff for us, here in the good ol' US of A.
But Isn't the US the Biggest Importers of Shit Quality???and as a by-line isn't it Trump himself that has been a Big supporter of Steel from CHINA,JAPAN and SOUTH KOREA at the expense of US Manufactures in ALL HIS PROJECT,moreover using Illegal Workers...GEE,YOU AMERICANS HAVE SUCH SHORT MEMORIES as to render you a JOKE

blue jeans?

they're gonna do more than this?

Price of 1 pair of jeans (Levis 501 or similar) in London :: Expatistan


Well at least they can still afford Tampons...

Price of 1 box of 32 tampons (Tampax, OB, ...) in London - USD :: Expatistan
But can you afford all the Depends you need.

Maybe you can explain to me how, exactly, putting tariffs on imports helps. It only causes you and I to pay our government to do business with them. How's this: want to take a stand? STOP BUYING THINGS PRODUCED IN CHINA! BTW, good luck with that.

Something else that is funny, you implying that I am a "left winger". That is truly laughable.

I agree we should stop buying things from China. I always do when possible. Problem is that it is often not possible since they have a monopoly on manufacturing thanks to our “free trade” policy, which is really a “fleece America” policy. Putting tariffs on such goods from China raises their prices yes, but also allows US manufacturers to fairly compete. Ultimately if we have enough US companies manufacturing, prices will be low. Maybe not Chinese slave labor low, but isn’t slavery wrong? I’m not saying we should tax everything non-USA made, but we should punish human rights abusers and countries that dump on the environment. Free trade with civilized countries with human rights and environmental laws like our own, and tariffs on third world shitholes.

We could punish China through the WTO, but Trump doesn't know how to cooperate with people to get things done.
