Trump's Second Term

Trump: "So we want a piece of ice for world protection. And they won't give it. They have a choice. You can say yes and we will be very appreciative, or you can say no and we will remember."

I'm suddenly reminded of the musical number from early in the Mel Brooks movie "To Be or Not to Be" in which Brooks, portraying Hitler on stage, says that he just wants a little peace.
A little piece of Poland
A little piece of France
A little piece of England
 
Legally, Trump can't order Silicon Valley to stop dealing with the US - unless he declares the EU as a hostile actor. I doubt that Microsoft&co would give up half their market forever for a guy who won't be in power for that much longer.

If necessary, they can just split off their European subsidiaries.

Trump: "Whoo. I'm glad my finger wasn't in that sucker. That could've dome some damage but you know what? I wouldn't have shown the pain. I would've gone back. Boy did you hear that? That was nasty. But I would not have shown the pain. I would've acted like nothing happens as my finger fell off."

He also claimed that "somebody" may have deliberately set him up to be hurt by the binder clip.
"That was nasty. I think somebody did that."

When my mother was developing dementia before she passed away, she became noticeably paranoid.

Those clips are designed to not snap back that hard, they'll sting, and maybe raise a bruise, but they should not cause any serious injury.

Trump is thin-skinned.

Do you mean how realistic is it to expect them to comply, or how realistic is it for Trump to make such a demand? The demand would be insane so I think it's highly probable Trump would make it. I think it's highly probable Trump would eat a lightbulb if someone told him Obama said he couldn't.

It's worth a try anyway.
