Answer; not even close. https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2025/04/03/fact-check-are-donald-trumps-tariffs-on-the-eu-really-reciprocal "It is not factually correct to say that the European Union imposes tariffs of 39% on the US. On the contrary, it's a nearer 3%," Andrew Kenningham, Chief Europe Economist at Capital Economics, told Euronews, putting the rate somewhere in between the Commission's and WTO's estimations. The US administration, however, points to an unfair "asymmetry" in certain tariff rates. For example, the EU applies a 10% tariff on US car imports, while the US charges just 2.5%. Brussels says, however, that this fails to consider the fact that the US imposes a 25% tariff on EU-made pickup trucks, which are a favourite among US consumers and account for "about one third of all vehicle sales".

I don't know, better ask the mods. It would probably be wise of you to look into it. That way you can show your employer how much of an influencer you really are,

Phew, thank the gods for that - Armageddon is "probably" not here just yet!

Not 2 but 20 millions, just to have the election stolen from right under his nose.😆 On a serious note I gotta say that those pesky Dems who repeatedly steal elections must be a devilishly cunning lot. It seems only certified geniuses like Alex Jones and Roger Stone seem to notice!🤔 https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/elon-musk-spending-wisconsin-supreme-court-race-b2725855.html

Trump; Tanks world economy Trump supporters; Why is everybody so mean to him?!

Yep, the American consumers sure got bigly kicked in the nuts. You're absolutely right.

The people behind him are a bunch of moronic sycophants.

Someone is.

Of course it couldn't be successful, the Houthis knew they were coming for frack's sake!

Last time "we lost the House and the Senate for 60 years" "When [President William McKinley], most famously, put tariffs on in 1890, they lost 50% of their seats in the next election,” Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., told reporters. “When Smoot and Hawley put on their tariff in the early 1930s, we lost the House and the Senate for 60 years. So they’re not only bad economically, they’re bad politically.”

Trump’s Tariffs Were Supposed to Boost the Dollar. Why the Opposite Happened.

Big Shot Investor Savagely Sums Up Donald Trump’s Tariffs In 3 Words Gerber: I want to try to, you know, reassure people that things are going to be okay. But honestly, this is just a disaster of idiocy that I can't even tell you beyond proportions. “I don’t worry too much about tomorrow. I worry about the short, medium, and long term with these policies. So, tomorrow is just, you know, a little bit of appetizer for what could be horrendously worse because the U.S. markets are certainly not cheap by any standard, and we went from almost an ideal market environment over the last year or two to now complete and utter sort of destruction of the system of trade that we’ve had for a very long time, that has benefited America greatly with lower prices! That’s the whole reason that this is set up the way it is,” he said.

Yes, he's fading rapidly.

And yet here you are. OK, granted it's your job but even so, the dedication is impressive.
