Lol funny US don't need to even fight Iran.....their boy Israel will do so smoothly

wirinet:

The way Israel did so smoothly during the Israeli-Hezbollah war in 2005.

Babaheekmat:


What if this chart is drawn up by Trump fan boys..

Apc can easily do the same about Nigeria

bmos:



The fool is pick up fight and making enemies every where with his foolish utterances.

FarahAideed:


Fact check.org? Trump fans? Hell no .. Trump's is doing really great the only people who hate his govt are

Illegal immigrants

Drug dealers

Homosexuals ( I wonder why?)

Terrorist

Terrorist sympathizers

Retarded Liberals ( Libtards )

datasthmagirl:
You obviously did not know what Macron did.

1) What he and his senate imposed on those US tech companies was NOT tax, but LEVY.

2) The levy was not imposed on profit but on REVENUE - contrary to acceptable business tax norms.

3) The qualifying threshold was not only on revenues generated in France, but global revenues were also considered.

4) Can you imagine the consequences this will have on other countries' policy against those US tech companies, if Trump allows this to slide or even fail to make a HUGE public noise about it?

Dude, Trump is way out of your league of reasoning. He's not just the president of the greatest country ever on earth, he's a first generation billionaire too.

Ayotemide:
But these 'American companies' provide services beyond their home state, is it not logical that they be taxed by other countries they operate in.

A president/leader that speaks without weighing the implications of his words is the foolish one.

Trump needs EQ or a VACATION, whichever works.

Donald95:
I love Trump because He loves the people that voted for him.

Not a lifeless brain dead President somewhere in Africa that finds it entertaining to shoot protesters that are asking him to obey the law that gave him opportunity to be a president.

Not a president that goes round the world talking shit about About American youths.

grandstar:
What Macron did was wrong but with Trump's bravado, it will have nationalist appeal in France and to rescind it may prove difficult.

There are institutions to deal with matters like this. Trump would have done better by shutting up. Well, he never does.

Ultimatezlant:
ofcourse but his disrespect for foreign authorities is not befitting an adult let alone president.

Funny enough he can't say such to Putin or small boy Kim


Forget the America first crap, if Europe and Canada decide to all close shop and isolate themselves I think the world would be heading for a third world war cos sanity would cease as humans

Sterope:
The man that went bankrupt how many times again? Is it this same man that goes back on his contracts and stifle those who have worked for him? The way you lots worship Trump is very peculiar.

FYI, it is not only France. UK is also considering taxing these businesses. They are not the only businesses that provides employment or has a large number of employees for people, yet these businesses pay their taxes to the Government.

princfred:
You are both a fool and wrote foolishly there.

Ugosample:


a president should NEVER make such statements


Many of you Nigerians have normalised such things
And its wrong

OriginalZombiE:



Wow!

You must be very smart, clap for yourself.

Well, before you start clapping let me educate you a bit about geopolitics.

Obama and Hillary Clinton together with the rest of Europe sponsored the overthrow of Gaddafi, a man overseeing the one of the most prosperous economies in Africa.

Gadaffi died and Lybia turned to a labyrinth of slavery and death, where Boko haram train and recruit their soldiers. So, Obama indirectly funded the growth of Boko Haram and Terrorism which is seriously affecting Nigeria today.

Obama also has a hand in the war that has decimated the nation of Sudan.

Do you still like your beloved first black president??

Trump compared to Obama is a breath of fresh air for Africa.
He has not started any wars, neither has he tried to destabilize any African nation.

Read you no go read na to dey watch CNN from morning to night.

Spits!

Laurene:
so who won the war

HigherEd:

Lol what an irony. A person whose country does not even have a glory yet to be seen has the temerity to say the US is living on Past glory... Maybe I can believe Europe is living on past glory sha, certainly not America. When those guys cough the whole world catches cold.

Lalasticlala

duni04:

See bros without the Europeans, America and Russia would-be serious allies. See what Russia did in Ukraine in crimea and in the east in donbass. See what they did in Georgia in 2007. See what they did in Maldova. The Europeans are scared shìt of the Russians. See what they did to sckripal on the streets of England!!!
That's why they all keep running to NATO. The Europeans can never ever side with the Russians. That's sucide. America can push Europe to any extent it wants. Russia can never ever be an alternative to the Europeans. China would even be a better prospect.

AgreatMan:

These are the biggest companies in the world, yes, they empower more people than other companies, even Governments.

Trump didn't do money ritual, there is no corruption case hanging on his head, the US government didn't give him some special favours. So yes, he deserves some respect from his billions.

Have you ever done any business (not salaried work), that made u 200k before? If u truly have, u will salute a fellow businessman. No, I am not an asslicker, but I definitely respect him for his business and negotiation skills. Even his strongest critics shut their mouth when it comes to these two things.

Where exactly in the report was it stated that those US companies don't pay tax abroad? Every single business in the world ( French or US) WILL do anything legal to pay a lower tax. Don't let anyone fool u.

If US exports $36B worth of goods to France, and France exports $52B, who has really need the other? If u are in a position of power, u can never allow anyone to bully u, well, except maybe if your name is Nigeria.

The US legislature is already tinkering with their law to allow them impose tarriffs on $52B worth of French imports. Watch the space in the next 3 months. Don't worry, this not our nigerian legislature, it will come to pass.

aremuforlife:
Trump is the real fool here
America has lost their respect . They only live in past glory
He feel being the president of America makes a semi God
He respects no one and he always demand for one

onegig:


Read the quote below. It is not only US businesses and they arw not taxing their global revenues. Just French Revenues.

"Le Maire said the tax would target some 30 companies, mostly American but also Chinese, German, Spanish and British, as well as one French firm

France’s Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire defended a 3% tax on the French revenues of tech giants."

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/07/11/us-to-probe-proposed-french-tech-tax.html



In principle, taxing profits is the only fair approach, but dishonest transfer pricing and creative accounting has made a mockery of this so if the French government feels it should tax their revenues then that's lovely. Apple has been operating for years outside of the US but go check their books in most countries they mostly declare zero profits. Are governments going to be taxing zero profits?

Nempi:
How does he think picking unnecessary fights on all fronts will help him?

FarahAideed:


Will you shut up ..American economy is in a great state under Trump , unemployment at its lowest , black unemployment at its lowest ever , stock markets at all time high yet you a Buhari worshiper thinks otherwise ...better receive sense

ipledge10:
people like you don’t understand nothing, you just follow the noise. Obama took the country out of her greatest recession in 80 years. Obama Met unemployment rate at 9.8% to 4.8%. Under Obama, there were job increase every month. Nasdaq broke many daily records. Trump inherited a very solid economy.

Sterope:
Do you follow the news on Trump? Do you know that Mueller recently said that the reason Trump had not been indicted is because he is a sitting president? Are you aware of his court cases? Do you have a picture of Trump hanging on your wall that you watch daily and hourly? And no, I don't know the businessmen who respects Trump because the only people, businessmen or not that respect this man, are those who are in support of him to begin with. I really don't know what you are talking about when you use Trump and respect for his business skills in the same sentence. Even very few of the executives of these businesses even give a damn about Trump to begin with...like I asked earlier, have you ever followed Trump in the news?

Is it fair for that woman who sells you fish to pay tax from the little she earns while the big corporation go tax free? Is her business not putting food down on the table? Do you know how tax is calculated especially in the developed countries? Does tax affects their inability to generate enough profit for their stakeholders?

How do you expect the Government to run? Who provides the environment for these businesses to run?

sunboy:


Blame the Libyan war on NATO and most importantly Europe, and to be precise France & Italy.
America does not unilaterally decide for NATO. So Democrat or Republican, America will always be America when it comes to her allies.

If Iran had some issues with Europe, I’m 99% sure that NATO would have started that war already. The only countries that are lobbying for the Iran war is Saudi and Isreal.
