Was the EU formed to hurt the US as Trump claims?

Countries were already doing that, by giving the U.S. their goods and products, and getting nothing in return — except the green banknotes, in other words, were giving massive assistance to the U.S. (that’s how the U.S. became so rich), but now Trump wants the countries — after they gave the U.S. their goods — to give the Americans back the green banknotes.

And he is furious the other countries are not giving into his global bullying.

Trump just wants to be the mafia boss and for everyone to pay to the U.S.

When AI takes all jobs how will the lowest class make money to survive?

The European Union was formed to make the countries of Europe prosper. The EU wasn’t formed “to hurt the U.S.”

The USA is now a global laughing stock, because of Trump. And because Americans allow this farce to continue, the world has to move on.

Trump thinks that the global economy is a zero sum game — you get something, I lose.

What does it mean when a British person says "I can't be asked"?

Can’t just hang around, waiting for the Americans to sort themselves out.

Looks like Trump thinks that anything any country is doing to become prosperous and strong is meant “to hurt the U.S.”

This is what Trump is calling, “everyone is ripping us off” — the fact that other countries gave the U.S. their goods in exchange to green paper (well, by now it’s only zeroes and ones in the computer code). In exchange to real cars, real iPhones, real wine, real steel, real consumer goods. The countries just got back the U.S. dollars.

Is it fair that 3rd world migrants and refugees are being put up in first class hotels in the UK when there are historic levels of homelessness and poverty?

While the global economy is about everyone winning.

Trump made his money by ripping off contractors — he confessed himself, and now he’s trying to do the same trick with all the countries in the world (except Russia and North Korea — Trump has no issues with Putin and Kim).
