I fart in your general direction! Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!
The ones who joined so far look like the worlds “most wanted” list. Including himself.
Trump has invited the leaders of 60 nations to join the Board of Peace with the stipulation that each contribute $1 billion dollars.
It’s not “Join the Board of Peace or get tariffs”, it’s “Give me a billion dollars or get tariffs”
This is called Extortion. It’s obvious he thinks he can run the presidency like a mafia operation. But I think people in general are about done with putting up with this bullshit.
It’s only extortion if it’s from Southern Italy, otherwise it’s just a shakedown
Sparkling shakedown
On the first go around Congress told him that “quid pro quo” is okay, so of course he’s doing more this time.
But not real mafia, this is a mafia movie trope at best.
Give me PERSONALLY a billion dollars, too.
Does the French economy make 1 billion in champagne and wine? If not, then it’s better to cover the losses by subsidizing the industry as opposed to giving even more away to some corrupt organization.
I can’t imagine US citizens drinking so much wine and champagne and the ones who do might even pay the triple price.
I thought so too. The import will never drop to zero, so the difference can be subsidized if France would think its wine industry is in jeopardy.
Ya know, privatize profits, socialize losses. Nevertheless, it would still be the better economic choice for France.
Spend 1 billion on Trump, or cover the losses for the wine industry. I know which number is bigger.
Some folks seem to think he is saying “pay into the fund for the Board of Peace”, but I am quite convinced he means pay him that money personally.
Same with the donations for the inaugural ceremony… they directly ended up in Trump’s grubby hands without anything to show for towards the American public.
That is what it means. He can spend the money on whatever he wants.
It’s also just another power play.
Lmfao this God damn idiot. He’s gotta know how stupid this looks. You gonna force peace? Leave it to a rapist pedophile to think he can force anything.
Its not peace in the literal sense, its protection in the mafia movie trope sense.
Macron, don’t join. The rest if the world will happily increase our purchase of your wines to offset losses stemming from any decrease in sales you experience in the US.
My liver is ready.
This demented senior is using grade school yard bully methods. lol
Other nations need to stop playing and just wrip up all trade deals with the US and just move on. We’re not going to learn until everyone moves on without us.
If enough countries tariffed the hell out of US goods and services, this shit would stop. When corporate America starts yelling at the congressmen they bought because they’re no longer making any money — congress would suddenly remember they are the ones who legally control the power to set and repeal tariffs, not the president.
Don’t tariff just stop doing business all together. Let those ships pull in, then return to sender.
I am not sure if this is possible. It’s private individuals which are doing business in most cases.
I don’t know why other countries don’t respond by passing their own export tax/tarrifs…
If trump wants to double the price of your goods, fuck him and get your own slice first.
You still get paid for everyone shipped to America, but the importers only get paid when it sells. So that’s getting business to go after Trump to lower his tariffs.
Because no sane government would want to reduce exports.
Reduced volume, but it will be because of Trump’s tarrifs anyways, with no extra money for the companies selling or the country exporting.
Putting their own export tax/tariff, increase per unit profit to make up for lowered volume.
Like, it’s a thing…
Just because you haven’t heard of something or thought it thru, doesn’t mean it’s pointless…
Or moreover tax their own citizens because of the actions of another country.
The importer still pays the export tariffs.
Yes which would be a native company or citizen not the tariffed country.
This is literally the argument against US tariffs, even.
Correct, and people still don’t seem to know how they work, is baffling.
This article is poorly written and the terms are confusing, so just to clarify:
- There are TWO “Boards of Peace” floating around in the headlines.
- They were both created by point 9 in the “Gaza peace plan”.
- By “Gaza Board of Peace”, the article actually means the BoP’s Gaza Executive Board. This seems to be what Trump is trying to extort Macron into joining.
- The 60 nations, $1 billion permanent seat cost BoP is the top-level BoP that the Gaza Executive Board is under.
Pass, fuck Trump n Pootin
Multiple leaders have expressed concern that the Board of Peace … now appears to be … a Trump-led opposition organization to the United Nations.
That sounds completely useless. It will be putin and trump demanding money from other nations.
this sad cosplay of philip ii of macedon is to pay trump billion dollars to let trump become a global hegamon
trump is not philip ii
barron is not alexander
and aristole is dead
do not join a board of directors where trump is the chairman
Shit’s going to get real when they start tariffing russian escorts.
