Now that Trump had to lower his pants to his toes with China, is trying to frighten the EU to see if he can squeeze someone. He says the EU is nastier to them than China, that European countries are not fair and try to threaten the European countries. Of course is talking again about tariffs, but also about pharma prices and other kind of products in not a very smart way. Hope that the EU stands firmly against him and his colleagues.

    Being called nasty by him is truly a compliment to any upstanding person or state.

    He uses nicknames to drum up his base or threaten, he only uses the word “nasty” when it’s personal and he’s annoyed that he isn’t getting his way. It’s literally like a toddler who learned a new word to describe when they’re upset, suddenly they’re “outraged” or “infuriated” every time they’re told no.

    Sounds like whatever assets he has in Europe should be frozen. Then we’ll actually give him a reason to be called nasty.

    Being nasty to a nasty person is something a nice person sometimes has to do. Be like Europe. Be nice to your own people, and to people who share your values. And be nasty to nasty people like Trump and Putin. This is the way.
