To our friends in Hungary, we hope you will vote for independent thinking and for someone who stands for Hungary First. We hope you will vote for my father’s friend and ally. One leader in Europe has a direct line to the White House, I hope you will support Viktor Orban! #Hungary

True. I love #Europe. For many of my international friends, Europe isn’t just a place — it’s the destination they aspire to, after life in #Canada, the #US, or even #Australia.

Very correct 👌 in Europe we buy zero tariff, US citizens will pay 15% extra tax to get EU products. Prices will not be lowered because demand in the rest of the world is growing fast. Vanderleyen did a good job meanwhile Trumps tariff fetisj. She closed deals with low or no tariffs with many countries. And what concerns the b250$/year energy import 😇 that was a little joke. We’re not going to 5-fold energytrade. It’s logistically not even possible but ok, it’s said like trump says so many things 😀

Actually, Rod, I can read — and here’s what the numbers actually say. First, Europe is not imposing a 15% tariff on U.S. goods. In fact, the deal you're celebrating includes Europe dropping tariffs to 0% on many American imports, including cars. Meanwhile, the U.S. is adding a 15% tariff on European goods. That’s not “equalizing” — that’s the U.S. raising prices on itself.

🇺🇸 🇪🇺Trump Just Crushed the EU on Trade The biggest trade deal in the world may be the biggest trade win in American history—and a humiliating wake-up call for Brussels. Here’s what just happened, and why it matters 🧵👇

Barack Obama went to great and nefarious lengths to try to thwart the will of the people and sabotage his successor – President Trump. It's one of the greatest political scandals in American history. The truth is that President Trump never had anything to do with Russia, and the Russia collusion hoax was a massive fraud from the beginning. Obama knew this and so did all the other corrupt officials involved in this scam, including former CIA Director John Brennan, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former FBI Director James Comey, former Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, and so many others. President Trump was right from the beginning about all of this, and we’re grateful that justice can finally be served.

A 30% tariff on EU exports would hurt businesses, consumers and patients on both sides of the Atlantic. We will continue working towards an agreement by August 1. At the same time, we are ready to safeguard EU interests on the basis of proportionate countermeasures.

Have you ever stopped to ask where these figures actually come from — and whether they represent tariffs at all? Go ahead. Open ChatGPT and ask for every country on your so-called “Liberation Day Board”: Calculate the ratio of the U.S. trade deficit to imports. Label it “Tariff Charged to USA,” and divide that by two to get “USA Reciprocal Tariffs.” Guess what? You’ll get the exact same table. What kind of economic intelligence is behind this? Calling these numbers “tariffs”? It’s absurd. A meticulously crafted global image of scientific credibility and innovation — thrown away in a single press conference. What a shame.

Has anyone else noticed that around 50% of the tariffs ARE NOT RECIPROCAL and are lower than what the other countries have on our goods imported to them🤔? Well, I guess he’s not going to DESTROY THE WORLD🇺🇸!

it shows that Trump admin can use ChatGPT at least: "Calculate the division of USA trade deficit and import to USA. Put it in a table and next to that you divide it by 2. Name the first outcome Tariff Charged and the second Reciprocal Tariffs". Some mistakes because they used most likely YandexGPT, the Russian AI bot because hacked. The last is a joke, the first also, but unfortunately taken serious by the Trump Admin). And this for a nation that had brilliant economists before this era, what a JOKE. For sure: MAGA !

No, what you and they are saying is completely misleading and has nothing to see with charges to US. This isn't complex economics either — it's basic kindergarten-level math. The so-called "reciprocal tariffs" that Trump and his team refer to are simply calculated as: Trade deficit with a nation ÷ Imports from that nation. That’s it. For Europe, for example: $235B / $605B = ~39%. Halve it — you get the "reciprocal tariff": ~20%. It’s the same logic applied across the board. Anyone can run this in seconds — even with ChatGPT. Calling it a study is a stretch. It's just basic division. Make America Great Again, maybe by starting to go to school ? Oh, US Dep of Education is dismantling ? But, seen this, it was indeed never needed.

Trump was just handed a large poster and he is now going through every country with unfair tariffs against the U.S. Trump is making comments on each country, explaining how they're screwing the US off, and says he's tariffing them. We are SO BACK.

The European Union upholds rigorous food safety standards to safeguard the health of its citizens. We do not allow chlorine-washed chicken, hormone-injected beef, or meat overloaded with antibiotics—not because we oppose trade, but because we prioritize consumer safety. Tariff-free exports to the EU are absolutely possible—provided the products meet our well-established safety and quality regulations. That’s not protectionism; it’s a fair and transparent principle. American food might be fine for a one-week vacation, but European consumers demand—and deserve—higher standards for everyday life. Thanks for understanding. Tariffs won't change that. And the same goes for most US-cars. We enforce strict emissions and safety regulations because we take climate action seriously. Just look at how Paris has improved its air quality in recent years (see picture), largely thanks to electrification. We embraced US-made Tesla's—massively—until @elonmusk veered off track. We’ll keep moving forward.
