The way to deal with a bully is to give him a bloody nose. He’ll try the same thing again harder, once, but if you give him a second bloody nose, he’ll cave in. The worst thing Europe could do right now is to try to close separate deals, one country or product at a time. Europe should stand fast and united, and present Trump with a total and consistent EU tariff on American goods of double whatever tariff Trump imposes on any single European country. He’ll chicken.

Doesn't help Americans much, but I wouldn't mind a final round of additional pain if we could finally convince the morons who voted for him what he's really like.
