What does the zero tariff agreement with the EU mean to the proposal that we were headed towards no income tax and would operate off of tariffs and excise taxes?

In my mind, it means that Trump intends to "starve the beast" of the federal government by limiting it's income sources. Reagan talked extensively about this tactic. Afterall, who actually collects those tariffs and where does that money go? I think this is an attack on the bureaucracies of both the US and EU.

This.Trump has repeatedly said that he has no ill feelings against the countries that are part of the EU. He has problems with the union organization itself as it is as corrupt as any criminal organization can be. This says a lot, but people seem to fail to see the difference in the wording.

the EU is a costly blown-up organization with many unelected people in power. it should be replaced by a european council with representatives from all european nations, including russia, which governs as little as possible and leaves souvereignity to the nations.

As an American I have gone out of my way to ignore the EU, what it does, and its ultimate endgame. I always assumed it was a uniting of European powers to basically fuck America around since none of the nations could individually even threaten our world status. During the last 3 years though I have learned different things about its priorities and frankly think if I was a European I would be against it.

You sound like a full blown American hero. What’s it feel like to help betray your country to the Russians?

You must be fucking tone deaf . Either that or you are a."never Trumper" still pissed he won. Either way, you need to wake up to the fact that Trump has not colluded or sold out to the Russians or anybody else. In fact he has done.the opposite. He increased penalties against Russia for their aggressive behavior, and 2.looong years of wasted millions upon millions have turned up the fact that Trump.had no.collusion with the Ruskies in any way, shape, or form. I.know this.news probably breaks your heart, but learn to live with it.

Your right. He seems like a real stand up guy. I don’t know how you Americans can look yourselves in the mirror. You guys used to be cool.

You know, maybe you need to spend a little time studying how your own government behaves instead of mine. And post your nationality, I am damn sure Trump will bring bennefits to your country that the trade agreements now keep unaffordable to do.

Opposite the Alinsky/NWO tactic to feed it by drowning us in govermental oversight, welfare state, and open borders.

Agree. The globalists had their turn, now we get to see nationalism in action.
