U.S. President Donald Trump will buckle under pressure from Germany and Europe in an escalating trade war, German Economy Minister Robert Habeck said on Thursday.

“That is what I see, that Donald Trump buckles under pressure, corrects his announcements under pressure, but the logical consequence is that he must also feel the pressure, and this pressure must now be exerted from Germany, from Europe,” Habeck said in a news conference.

      Trump won’t buckle, this is true.

      But there are plenty of other people around him that will. Sooner or later, either a real war will break out, or Trump will be removed, or nutered, or otherwise brought to heel by the Senate, or the military, or the oligarchs.

        Yeah I agree. I think the last couple of years of social media has also made everyone turn against eachother. Politics, gender, whatever else.

        This is why war comes closer. Specially when assholes like trump and musk are showing just how awful a human can be, and still be a billionarie or a us president. It makes it ok, even encouraged, to be like that for some people.
