    I’m dumbfounded. Completely dumbfounded.

    Trump is literally telling French companies operating in France that they have to comply with his Executive Orders.

    French companies. In France. How fucking arrogant do you have to be?

    Between insulting Denmark, threatening Greenland, and now trying to tell French companies how to conduct business, the entirety of Europe needs to start collectively standing up and telling Trump exactly how far he can go fuck off. Because he is not going to stop. If this goes unanswered, he will consider your ignorance as capitulation and therefore weakness and start making more batfuck stupid demands and act as if he genuinely believes he rules over your country.

    Mark my words, Trump’s next step is ordering tariffs on something from France because of their DEI policies. I give it 7 days.

      I thought he’d try to it to 🇨🇦 first. US can’t be forcing other countries to do his racism. 🖕🇺🇸

        The fat fuck lost to Canada not backing down so he’s trying France. Fat fuck doesn’t realise Canada and France both speak French and laugh behind his back. He’s not getting shit from the French.

          Totally. I’m loving the important parts of Canadian speeches (namely Carney) being in French, knowing the idiotic American’s don’t do the translation.

    Party of no federal interference in companies now endorsing feder interference of foreign companies? No conflict of interest here - congress probably.

    Not just French companies, companies in multiple EU countries (from the article). And it’s only applicable if they want to do business with the US. This behaviour is pretty normal for them - they used to have policies about not buying from companies that used child labour, or didn’t enforce DEI etc. They’re just enforcing a different set of standards for their suppliers now.

    I’m not saying it’s not messed up, just that it’s not unusual and shouldn’t surprise anyone.

    I was waiting for Shittler to try to impose his racism and bigotry on 🇨🇦too. More proof of a dementia-addled mind that he did it first to France.

    I’m reminded of films sold in Europe that have that idiotic FBI warning at the start. Where do you think you are, you fascist arseholes?
