Merkel: G-7 summit with Trump was a 'sobering' experience

FRANKFURT, Germany — German Chancellor Angela Merkel found the contentious Group of Seven summit with U.S. President Donald Trump a "sobering" and "depressing" experience but said European leaders won't be "taken advantage of" on trade.

Some of us called this as soon as Trump started campaigning. The rest here were at that time, and remain to this day, to be fools and trolls.

Hear that roar across America?
That's all the investors laughing uncontrollably at you. All the way to the bank.


Can't hear that? Oh, that's right, you Trolls cannot hear America from your home in Russia.

What is R2P?

---

"Responsibility to Protect", the banner under which liberals justify invading/ destabilizing foreign nations. They claim that they have the "responsibility to protect" citizens who are being tyrannized by their leaders, and then they go bomb the snot out of them and/or pay proxy jihadists/ neo-Nazis/ contract killers to do their dirty work for them.

This is what "R2P" results in ... pictures "after and before".









These pictures are of LIBYA. I could post similar pictures of Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan. People who claim that TRUMP "destroys everything he touches" seem to have lost sight of the REAL destruction that occurred under Obama and Bush.

38.9%

Wholesale prices for domestic vegetables have skyrocketed by 38.9% compared to a year ago, indicating a significant increase in costs for consumers. This rise in prices is attributed to various factors, including tariffs, weather conditions, and labor shortages. As a result, shoppers may face higher grocery prices, reflecting the overall economic impact of these rising costs.

THUGR:
Made in America’ Crushed—7 Shutdowns Signal Total Industrial Retreat
The U.S. manufacturing sector shrank for the fifth month in a row in July 2025. The Institute for Supply Management (ISM) reported a Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) of 48.0, down from 49.0 in June. A reading below 50 signals contraction, meaning production, orders, and employment are declining.

You've said that before. I'm still waiting for you to prove me wrong.

Has he destroyed... oh, say ... Somalia?
No?
Well, that's ONE thing he hasn't destroyed!
/snark

Has he destroyed the southern border?
Nope! That was Biden*

Has he destroyed equal opportunity?
Nope!
That was Biden* too.

Did he defund the police? Destroy policing in the USA?
Nope!
Also Biden*!


When you think in big bold letters, making Universal Statements and ignoring facts, you make Big Errors.

But don't feel bad, you're not the only one who does that.

Many times it is how Trump goes about things like immigration that is the problem. He definitely is fucking that up. And most Americans think so. And this list you've posted here is pure shit.

I see you're sourcing zerohedge again. It means your source is shit. Therefore, your post is shit. Lies and bullshit are all it is.

The ACA is always getting slammed by you guys. It added 20 million people to the ranks of the insured. Here’s the point that shows how full of shit you are. The republicans voted more than 50 times to repeal it. Each time they promised to introduce a much better plan. That bullshit started how many years ago? I’ll tell you. It was March of 2010 when the Affordable Care Act was first introduced.

So comrade, where is their beautiful new and better bill? The one they've been promising since 2010? You're so full of shit. And so’s your post. Trump said it again. During his campaign he would first, create a bigger and better plan before he fucked with health care.

Never ever do you call the republicans and Trump out on that. And they've done it more than 50 times.

Oh yeah China. This all happened before when Trump was president. He had to bail out the farmers. And the moron still did it again. And you didn't see it coming? Worse yet, this time the soy market is not coming back; it's gone. Trump made a huge mistake, a huge mistake.

Your bullshit agenda is transparent comrade.

You're blowing all kinds of shit about business failures and price increases, and you didn't even bother to see if that was really happening?

IT'S NOT.

See my post, above, with actual... yanno ... FACTS.
So you'll forgive me for not taking you seriously.

There's nothing wrong with tariffs theoretically, and SO FAR they haven't had any negative effects. Only time will tell.

So let's move on from here bc aside from your point that tariffs are illegal (most probably true), you don't have any other arguments.

---

There is a lot more of our conversation comrade regarding tariffs, where you argue that they are good and working. Like the one that was above the one I am quoting here. The post can be found on Monday, September 29, 2025 5:32 PM the bottom of page 13. You spew a bunch of subjective bullshit.

Shit, let me see If I can find the one where you give me a history lesson on the use of tariffs. Just way to funny comrade. Here is where I say, I told you so.

Trump announces tariff cuts on food, citing high prices
"‘How about we remove some of the tariffs on goods people buy that are driving prices up?’ Now, if only they could find the clown that imposed those tariffs in the first place.” Rep. Brendan Boyle responds to the news, adding, “the brilliance will take your breath away. Congratulations President Trump for putting out part of the fire that you yourself started about six months ago, but already, damage has been done to our economy.”

I'll remind you because you've obviously chosen not to remember, I told you he would do this. And so much more when Trump was running for president the first time. And after his first coup attempt. If G were here, he would be saying the same thing. I have no doubt SECOND will.

So much is lost on you. Like since getting into office this second time, he has been attacking free speech, the rule of law, and the constitution; relentlessly. Where have you been? Try and catch up.

Watch the fucking video I posted above. Fuck Alex Krainer, he likes dictators.

Inflation and Tariffs: Inflation has picked up since the tariffs were announced, with consumer price index data showing outsized increases in tariff-sensitive categories, including beef. The average tariff rate has increased to 17.4%, the highest since 1935, costing households an extra $2,300 in 2025.

Your long winded posts with you latching on to something, and completely getting it wrong are classic Signym. The other reasons you quote for high beef prices don't mean shit. This is not complicated. You don't need graphs or water shortage statistics to figure out what Trumps tariffs are doing. First, you have the price of something, in this case beef, add the cost of the tariff onto the product. In this case beef.

Even a child knows if you add 25% to the cost of something, then its cost goes up 25%. I'm laughing here because this is so simple. Again, even a child knows if American companies are paying the 25% tariff, some of that cost is passed onto the consumer; still laughing. By the way, in America it is called a tax. Trump raised everyone's taxes by raising the cost of everything they buy.

I can't believe how much time and energy you've put into two pages of this thread, arguing and defending Trumps tariffs. All the while saying they aren't killing American companies and consumers. He raised the price of everything, for business and consumer alike that has a tariff attached to it. Which is everything.

By how much did he raise our taxes? By the different tariff amounts attached to each product you buy or pay for. And more and more of those higher prices being picked up by our companies are passed onto us. I'm still laughing comrade, not really. This is a fucking nightmare.

Now, a tariff adds that amount onto the cost of a product. Regardless of other factors that may increase a price. A 25% tariff adds 25% to the cost. It's a sales, a consumption tax on the consumer. There's nothing to debate lass. If you think there is, ask a child to explain it to you.

And just a reminder. Trump is giving 2 trillion dollars in tax breaks to the top .01 percent. Where is he getting the money to replace his tax cuts for the rich? From tariffs, i.e. sales, consumption taxes of course. Also, by denying healthcare to millions, cutting NASA's budget by 47%, and so on and so on.

You know it takes a real moron to give an idiot an important job. And you did just that.
