^^ Trump is using 2% of GDP as a wedge and he has every right to do so. It's time to pay the piper.

Eric Trump’s deleted threat reveals their true colors
This isn’t leadership; it’s bullying on a global scale. The message? Comply, or face the wrath of tariffs and “SO MUCH WORSE.” They’re not interested in solutions for food prices, housing, or healthcare—they only care about consolidating power, rewarding the wealthy, and punishing dissenters. The gloves are off, and the oligarchy isn’t hiding anymore.
This is about power and the only way they can hold it is to hold a gun to the head of anyone who has it. Compliance in advance is surrender.

Oh thank you Glorious Yanks for protecting us by setting up to shoot nukes aimed at you down on top of our heads.
We are ever so thankful.
