Forget physical goods, hit us where it really hurts. Use the intellectual property clause, and start cracking down on Big Tech.

The US makes all its money with power projection through its services, so fuck them up. Please.

And for heavens sake, Europe would be healthier with a little less Twitter and fewer fees payed to the US.

This would be the perfect time to call out their hypocritical extension of copyright through recent trade deals.

American tech companies have made fortunes by violating licensing and copyright laws. Force Uber and AirBNB to buy taxi and hotel licenses. Put an intellectual property tax on AI. Prosecute Paypal for banking without a charter, ban cryto as illegal currency... the list goes on.

That's another good idea;

and this would actually benefit most Americans.

maybe have a 20-something-European entertainer calling himself "Kid Rock" who who does covers and derivations, decked out in EU stars, who publicly burns the American flag, and if he's a transman, even better. 😁

"Whatcha gonna do, MAGAts? Sue me? I live in Europe, where we have Freedom. not in USSA!"
