So, like, Spain no longer has access to any US trading businesses? No more Microsoft, no more AWS hosted services, no more access to any business trading out of the USA? All US trade with Spain?
Or... is he just lying?

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Now their girls are safe
The shithead makes it a lot easier for China, every day.
Didn't America start because some rich folks didn't like the idea of a crazy guy who acts like a King taxing imports on a whim?
The founders also warned us against letting it happen again, and said we should all get to carry guns in case it does.
Hmmm
One thing I've been wondering through this whole story is does the US need Spain's bases at all here? I mean we have a lot more bases a lot closer. So it's all just posturing right?

Americans will buy Iberico Ham made in Kentucky now. On more serious note, it's easy (and cheap) to impose an economic embargo on the US, just say something their president doesn't want to hear.
Fuck you trump, keep your shit in your diapers you orange pedophile.
Yesterday: Spain is a terrific country, really, it is, I mean, one of the the best in Europe, many say the best, and they love me there, they really, do, all of, I mean, the best Spainians, they love, me, they do, they say Donald you're the best US president for us, ever, better than all the others, they were losers and didn't understand Europe, but you do, you're the best, possibly the best leader of any country, of all time, and I do, I understand Europe, propably, better than anyone else...
Today: Spain is a terrible country, really, one of the worst in Europe, we're going to cut off all trade with them, we don't want anything to do with them, and many people agree, and I know many important leaders, they're my friends, and they love me, really they do, and they all agree, except maybe that Pedro Sánchez guy, lazy Pedro I call him, but I don't know, sleepy Sánchez, well he wouldn't, would he, because he's the king of Spain, and did you know they're still a monarchy, truly terrible system of government, and a bad country and I never liked their pie-ella, it's not a good dish, I mean, come on, it doesn't even compare to a Big Mac or anything, and there's no fries, and people all agree, everyone agrees, and they love, me, they do, they say 'Donald you're the best US president for us, ever, better than all the others, they were losers and didn't understand Europe, but you do, you're the best, possibly the best leader of any country, of all time, and I do, I understand Europe, propably, better than anyone else...
Tomorrow: Spain is a terrific country, really, it is, I mean, one of the the best in Europe, many say the best, and they love me there, they really, do, all of, I mean, the best Spainians, they love, me, they do, they say Donald you're the best US president for us, ever, better than all the others, they were losers and didn't understand Europe, but you do, you're the best, possibly the best leader of any country, of all time, and I do, I understand Europe, propably, better than anyone else...

Good. This needs to happen more. Have them come back to the table begging for the resources they need and don't/can't produce. It would be so lovely. Have the day you voted for!
So, should we replace all the crap that the United States sells us? Thank you, Mr. Trump.
