Trade is unlikeky to return. There was a short us-eu tariffs War during Trumps first presidency. I think it was on fruit. The buyers found suppliers in other countries and havent returned.

This time around the eu tariff warriors are going for about 100 times as much in tariffs and are attacking republican mainstays, such as louisiana (som beans) where the republican speaker Mike Johnson got his mandate.

Trump will rage and consider it election interference. We will snicker and ignore that.

No. That’s not fair.

If anyone from the media questions it, Elon will take personal responsibility by either offering an interview (IF they promise to air it unedited. And should they agree, as they probably will, he will renege because said media outlet can not be trusted.)

Or he will challenge them to a cage fight (and then later silently renege because frankly, he is in no shape to fight even a 72 year old russian dictator.)
