Well, Trump is obviously not going to help anyone but himself. But that doesn't mean Europe is doomed. Plenty of nuclear weapons in Europe. If anything, everyone's doomed.

Go as a student and find a spouse while you're there for the easiest way to stay after you're done with school.

As always, Trump is just throwing shit on the wall to see is anything sticks. And everyone's freaking out. He does these things with everything, but apparently people have learned nothing.

This is exactly it. The degree is the gatekeeper.

Which, to be honest, is one of the many things fueling anti-EU sentiment at the moment. Immigration being the biggest one.

In the US, if you have money and power, you can get away with anything. Land of the free (If you're rich).

Whether it's manipulated or not, it's still supply and demand.

And now that Trump wants to make tips tax free, I'm about to tip even less. At least by the amount of the tax deduction.

True

Supply and demand.

You'll have a felon in the WH. Great job, America!

Great jobs report = stock market dives. Apparently.

This can't possibly come as a surprise to anyone. Lol

That's what you get for election interference.

One thing to also keep in mind, Trump is a four year thing. And this is a Trump thing, not a US thing, and probably not even a Republican thing.

I'm pretty sure this is just another one of the crazy-ass negotiation tactics from Trump. He throws a bunch of shit on the wall and maybe some of it will stick.

He should just proclaim support for Greenland's independence and offer the tiny population some great economic and diplomatic deals to get his way.

Greenland is part of one of the greatest social welfare systems in the world already. Trump doesn't have anything other than military protection to offer in that regard. And Greenland is already part of NATO, so not really much there.

But I do think Greenland can and will take advantage of this situation to squeeze much more out of Denmark. And they should. Honestly, they deserve it. They've been overlooked for a long time.

There are EU treaties to the contrary. Few EU members agree on what the EU wants/needs to be.

Except this assumes that the US can actually do any of that, which is highly doubtful unless Trump is willing to go all scorched earth. We all know that Trump is a complete nutbag, but I'm not sure about scorched earth.

Some of France's overseas territories are actually part of the EU. It's different than Greenland.

Yes, Denmark is but Greenland is not. Greenland is considered an OCT, Overseas Countries and Territory, associated to the EU.
