I can imagine Trump's announcement already "Hunger Games, no one had heard of Hunger Games until I invented them but these will be the biggest and best Hunger Games ever..."

MAGA logic: Those FOREIGN countries just are not going to behave. So we have to punish them with tariffs. It does not matter to MAGA anymore that coffee is expensive. Maybe those foreigners will go home to get cheap coffee.
Meanwhile, they get instant coffee at ICE detention. That we pay for.

Make your mind up Donald.
The administration of US President Donald Trump has warned the European Union that there will be consequences if American defense companies are forced out of the European market.
According to Politico, USA officials said they would respond with countermeasures if Brussels introduces a strict ‘Buy European’ requirement in its defense procurement rules – allowing only weapons manufactured within the EU to be purchased.
The United States emphasized that it ‘strongly opposes’ restrictions on American firms and rejects what it called a ‘protectionist and exclusionary policy’ that ‘pushes U.S companies out of the market.’

In previously unreported remarks, the U.S. administration warned Brussels that it will retaliate if Europeans “strong-arm American companies out of the market.”

He has enough self-preservation to avoid admitting it until his mind goes completely...but what a lot of people don't realize is that thanks to advances in medicine people frequently do physically outlive their own minds. Ask people who work in geriatric medicine and nursing homes: old people on their way out often confess some very startling things. Murders they committed or know about, other crimes and sins, and so on. From the imminence of death, loosening of barriers, diminishing instinct for self-preservation, or all of those in combination.
The trick for his handlers is to make sure he doesn't slip in public. I don't fancy their odds, and they're getting worse every day. Sooner or later every jig is up.

Trump; "Literally like the price of coffee over here is actually fine, it's more the price of coffee in the US that we're gonna have to get used to. I'm not sure about the iguanas, where are we going with that one?"
ETA: My mistake, that wasn't actually Trump.

Or that they've imagined.

Unfortunately I'm not sure if even that would be enough. If the Billy Bush tapes didn't stop him, this won't either, the cult will just say he was joking or trolling and that he'd never admit something like that out loud if he'd really done it.

I'm sure this is an auto-correct but how apropos considering the US is basically the Onion at this point.
I hadn't thought of that - The Onion should sue Trump for breach of their copyright. 100 billion should do it.

Nah, satire became obsolete in 1973.

The EU, thankfully, will not impose any strict 'buy European' rules because it won't need to.Make your mind up Donald.

Trump has already done all that is needed for individual European countries to recognize the US is, quite suddenly, no longer a dependable source of supply in potential future crises.

Actually the "State of the Onion" long predates the satrical paper. I think I heard Nixon's last one referred to thus.
