It looks like the ruling class all over the world are a bit ired by the President's decision to reflect upon them their trade policies toward US. Quite a few of them are rearing way up on their hind legs to screech about how they are going to make US rue the day!!!!!
I suspect it's almost all theater and there isn't a single country except maybe one unexpected one that will be stupid enough to embark on an all out trade war with US because Trump does have a point. We won't lose anything if they don't buy our goods in the pitiful volumes they allow today and they'll be gutted like fish if we don't buy any of their goods in volume and in the meantime we'll be pocketing the lucre and nobody really needs a new BMW or VW since they last forever anyway.
I am really interested in what form their destructor will take when President Trump retaliates on a massive scale for the EU Commission's ongoing Censorship and Deplatforming Campaign against Musk and the rest. It's not like he doesn't have a massive dog or two of his own in this fight.
I think Gozer the Gozerian sounds like Ursula von der Leyen. I think they're all just barking a lot and will roll over and play dead as soon as nobody is looking. Kind of like what they're doing now in Ukraine as it becomes apparent to all that the rulers of the EU cannot reach out and dredge up any cannon fodder to send to Ukraine since they have run short of their own and cannot find anybody stupid enough to step up and do it for them.

Buying a European car is a sign you have more money than good sense. They cost a fortune to buy, and another fortune to maintain. And once they get an electronics glitch in their systems, they are impossible to troubleshoot.
Nothing but status-signalling machines.
Not disagreeing with you but I bought a used 328i convertible in San Diego that I really enjoyed and never cost me a dime in 6 years of owning it. Only traded it in when my daughter came along. I've owned the same 24 year old VW Jetta since it was bought new in Redwood City. Still an amazing car although learning it has to be flipped upside down to put in transmission fluid was a rude eye opener.
