E059-2025 TheBullshit Show - The Great European Surrender
from The bullshit show · host Ray Di Marzio
In this scathing late-night monologue, Ray eviscerates the European Union's decision to postpone counter-tariffs against the United States until mid-April. Originally set to impose 4.5 billion euros worth of tariffs on April 1st in response to Trump's 25% steel and aluminum tariffs, the EU backed down, claiming they need more time to "negotiate." Ray exposes this as a surrender disguised as strategy, driven by fear of Trump's threatened 200% tariffs on European wine and champagne. The monologue highlights the economic vulnerability of the Eurozone—already projecting anemic growth rates—and questions the ability of Brussels' bureaucracy to protect European economic interests against aggressive American protectionism. Through sharp analysis and biting commentary, Ray demonstrates how Europe's economic sovereignty continues to erode under pressure from stronger global powers.This episode Writers: Ray Di Marzio If you want to reach out to suggest new bullshit for us to tear apart, share your experiences with human stupidity, or just tell me what an asshole I am - hey, I take compliments too! - you can write to us at [email protected] Any unauthorized reproduction will be treated with the same respect I have for influencers selling miracle supplements - that's zero!
