The US and EU came to a "deal" where the US will tax EU products at 15%, while the EU agreed to zero on US goods. (www.cbc.ca)

The EU is just trying to limit the damage until the dems win back the house after the midterms and put an end to Trump's illegal tariffs, and cancel the deals he had no authorities to make in the first place.

    I don't know which is worse: the fact that people actually think they can vote fascism away, or that they might succeed in that and so people will forget ameriKKKa's real face: that of an orange-tinted, hateful, demented, racist pedophile with tiny hands signalling everything that is wrong with capitalism.

    people actually think they can vote fascism away

    There's a very good chance that the midterms will be rigged. But there's still a chance that voting will actually achieve something positive, with the help of the Epstein scandal.

    But you're right: it's the last window of opportunity. After that, it's fascist dictatorship all the way for sure.

    i'm kinda hoping we might see the capitulation of western capitalist imperialism during my lifetime, and take more proud steps towards the Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism that awaits us. Hand in hand towards a redder dawn, so to say.

    Even if they win why would they rollback tariff if that benefits US.

    If tariff isn’t benefiting US then EU need not make a deal and cheering up for more tariff. Someone got to benefit that need not be common people.

    The Trump tariffs hurt everybody - the US, the EU, the entire world. That's why other countries try to make deals: they're doing damage control.

    Only Trump thinks blanket tariffs are good for his country, because he's a delusional fool who listens to crackpot economists.

    The democrats aren't the ones doing the hiding and diversion and trying to protect pedos right now. Trump is in power and he's acting as guilty as a puppy sitting next to a pile of poo, so he's become the deep state.

    The Democrats won’t release it but they might run on releasing it just like Trump did.

    This whole notion that Trump is an aberration and the EU can just wait him out is deeply infantile. Trump was elected because of the structural decline in the material conditions. Whoever replaces Trump will be a product to the same conditions that led to Trump being elected. The world has changed, and there's no going back now.
