    If anyone out there didn’t already know this “Board of Peace” was a complete fucking joke, the fact that Trump is threatening those who won’t join might be a clue.

    … And who will that effect exactly?

    The French aren’t likely to lose much money out of that. Their Champagne and Wine is a luxury export, which people will still want regardless of price.

    All that’ll happen is that extra cost will be forwarded onto the American customers.

    And then luxury American producers will likely increase their prices to just under their handicapped competition, because doing so is basically free money.

    Which is to say, Trump will for sure show Macron who’s boss by increasing the price of Champagne and Wine for his own people.

    … just like he totally did on Chinese and other European exports too.

      I hear it pairs well with the tears of people who’s loved ones are gunned to death wantonly.
