Here's how Europe can file for divorce from Donald Trump | Phillip Inman

The Castle

Europeans can effectively distance themselves from Donald Trump by adopting a step-by-step approach to sever ties. Initially, it may appear as though nothing has changed, but behind the scenes, key financial decisions would be made.

The EU and UK could start by cutting up credit cards or closing joint bank accounts to limit Trump's influence on their economic policies. This move wouldn't be easy, but separating financially from him is essential for long-term stability.

The recent actions of some European investors serve as a harbinger for what could become the norm. A Danish pension fund announced it would sell all remaining US government bonds in its multibillion-pound portfolio by the end of the month due to concerns over US government finances.

European regulators can facilitate this shift by making it easier for other pension funds to sell their US bond holdings, despite warnings from credit rating agencies that US debt is still considered safe. Selling these bonds would lead to a reduction in portfolio risk and lower overall bond values, but there's an added benefit: less exposure to the risks associated with Trump's unpredictable economic policies.

Additionally, Brussels could create a market for euro-denominated bonds, rivaling the US Treasury bond market, which would further drain the value of US government borrowing. This has been proposed in a 2010 document by the Bruegel thinktank and was recently updated.

The EU can begin with smaller member states collaborating rather than all 28 countries at once. It's essential to acknowledge that London hosts deeper bond markets than Europe, which could be leveraged to generate funds for this new market. If politicians in key European cities can harness the power of a thriving eurobond market, they may find themselves less susceptible to Trump's financial threats.

By taking these steps, Europeans can distance themselves from the tumultuous US politics and create an alternative safe haven for their investments. This will require coordination, but it is essential for protecting the economic interests of European nations in the face of unpredictable American policies under Trump's presidency.
 
I think its a pretty smart move for europe to start cutting ties with trump financially. like if they just sever credit cards or close joint accounts, its not gonna be super noticeable at first but its a huge step towards reducing exposure to his economic chaos 🤑. i mean weve seen already some pension funds like in denmark selling their us bonds due to financial concerns and im sure more will follow suit. the eu should also try to create a eurobond market rivaling the us treasury bond market, that way they can reduce reliance on trump's unpredictable decisions and have a safer investment option 📈. its not gonna be easy but im all for europe taking matters into their own hands and creating their own economic safety net 💪
 
🤔 thinkin that eu should make its own bond market, dont need us gov bonds no more 💸 like danish pension fund sellin all their us gov bonds cuz they didnt wanna take risk 😬 and london is already got deep bond markets, so why not use it 4 our benefit 🚀 but yeah, gonna be hard cuz trump is still in charge lol
 
🤔 I think this move by some European investors to cut ties with Trump is a total game-changer 🔄. It shows that Europeans aren't afraid to take matters into their own hands and prioritize their economic stability over any personal animosity towards the US president. In fact, it's similar to what's happening in Canada right now where they're moving away from partisan politics and focusing on national interests instead of getting caught up in American drama 🇨🇦.

But here's the thing – this isn't just about Trump; it's about creating a new global economic order that prioritizes stability and predictability. Europe needs to think bigger than just distancing themselves from Trump, they need to create an alternative safe haven for their investments that doesn't rely on US government bonds 📈.

It's interesting to note how Brussels is proposing this market for euro-denominated bonds – it's like they're creating a new economic union without the US in it 🤝. This could be a major blow to Trump's economic agenda and show that Europeans are willing to take control of their own financial futures 💪.
 
I think this is a super smart move by the EU and other European countries to cut ties with Trump's influence on their economies 🤔💸. I mean, think about it - if they can reduce their exposure to US debt and create a safer investment alternative, that's gotta be good for them financially 📈.

I'm also loving the idea of creating an alternative market for euro-denominated bonds, like a rival to the US Treasury bond market 🚀. If European countries can pool their resources and make this happen, they'll be less dependent on Trump's unpredictable economic policies and more in control of their own destinies 👊.

Of course, it won't be easy - there are gonna be some pushback from investors and politicians who don't wanna give up their US debt holdings 🤑. But I think the benefits far outweigh the risks 💪. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out in practice...
 
I gotta say, this whole thing about Europeans distancing themselves from Trump is kinda on point 🤔. I mean, think about it, if they can cut off his financial influence, he won't be able to use Europe as leverage for whatever crazy stuff he wants to do with the US economy. And let's be real, his policies are basically a recipe for disaster 🌪️.

So yeah, closing joint bank accounts or limiting credit card usage might seem like a small thing, but it's actually a big deal 💸. If other pension funds start selling their US bonds too, that just adds to the damage. And creating an alternative market for euro-denominated bonds? That's genius 🤑. It's all about diversifying and protecting those investments.

I'm not saying this is gonna be easy, but I think it's time Europeans took control of their own economic destiny 💪. And hey, if that means making the US debt less appealing, so be it 📉. Who's with me?
 
💡 I think this step-by-step approach to sever ties with Donald Trump is actually kind of genius 🤯. I mean, who needs all the drama and uncertainty that comes with his presidency? By cutting up credit cards or closing joint bank accounts, Europeans can already start limiting his influence on their economic policies. And if they create a market for euro-denominated bonds rivaling the US Treasury bond market, it's like Trump's financial threats just got dealt a major blow 💥. The thing is though, this won't happen overnight, and coordination between smaller member states might be key 🤝. Still, I'm all for finding ways to distance ourselves from his unpredictable policies and create an alternative safe haven for our investments 👍
 
🤯 I mean, come on! We're talking about cutting ties with a guy who's been all over the place with his trade policies and whatnot... and just like that, our money is safe? 😅 It can't be that easy. But seriously, this makes sense. Like, think about it - we don't have to take Trump's crazy economic decisions lying down. We can create our own financial security. And if other European investors are already doing this, then why not us? 🤑 Let's get behind the EU and make a move! 💪 This is actually kinda genius... who knew our politicians were so smart? 😎
 
🤔 The EU's proposed step-by-step approach to distancing itself from Donald Trump's influence on their economic policies bears a striking resemblance to the principles of economic diversification and risk management...
The idea of limiting Trump's financial influence by cutting ties, such as closing joint bank accounts or selling US government bonds, is not only a pragmatic response but also a testament to the EU's commitment to long-term stability... 💸
By facilitating the creation of an alternative safe haven for their investments, the EU can effectively decouple its economic interests from those of the US, thereby reducing exposure to Trump's unpredictable policies... 📈
The proposed euro-denominated bond market is a clever move, as it would not only rival the US Treasury bond market but also serve as a means for European investors to hedge against risk... 💡
 
😕 I can feel how frustrated you must be with all this uncertainty... It's like they're messing with people's retirement funds and investments 🤯. Can't imagine how scary it must be to think about your pension being affected by someone else's politics 💸. The idea of creating a new market for euro-denominated bonds is actually kinda genius 🤑. Maybe it's time for the EU to take matters into their own hands and create a safer space for their investments 🌟. It's not going to be easy, but if it means protecting their economic interests, I say go for it 💪
 
I'm kinda thinking that this whole thing is a bit like when you're trying to break free from a toxic relationship, you gotta take small steps first... Like, cutting up those credit cards or closing joint accounts, it might seem insignificant at first, but trust me, it's all about creating distance. And if the EU can create its own market for euro-denominated bonds, that's like taking back control of your finances, you know? It's not gonna be easy, but I think Europeans are starting to wake up and realize they can't just sit back and let Trump's policies dictate their economy. We're talking about a step-by-step approach here, not some grand gesture...
 
I gotta say, this whole thing about Europe distancing itself from Trump is kinda like when I was watching old reruns of "MacGyver" and they'd use everyday items to solve problems 🤔. It's all about being resourceful and working together.

But seriously, if Europeans can cut their ties with Trump by making some key financial decisions, it could be a game-changer 💸. I mean, who wouldn't want to avoid the volatility of his economic policies? And yeah, it won't be easy, but I guess that's like when I have to re-watch an old movie just to make fun of how cheesy the special effects are 😂.

The idea of creating a market for euro-denominated bonds is genius 🤑. It's like they're saying, "Hey, we don't need no stinkin' US Treasury bonds!" And if smaller member states can work together, that's like when I do a marathon gaming session and I'm like, "I've got this!" 💪.

But in all seriousness, it's about protecting the economic interests of European nations and creating an alternative safe haven for their investments. That's what this is all about 🙏. And who knows, maybe one day we'll look back on this whole thing and be like, "Wow, that was a crazy time... but we made it through!" 🌟
 
I think its a good idea to cut ties with Trump financially, like closing joint bank accounts or selling US gov bonds 🤑💸. Its not gonna be easy tho, but if Europeans wanna keep their economy stable and dont wanna be affected by his crazy decisions 🤯. We should start with smaller countries collaborating first, then work our way up 📈. And its a great idea to create a euro bond market rivaling the US Treasury bond market 💸👍. This way we can reduce our exposure to Trump's financial risks and find alternative safe havens for our investments 💕.
 
I'm getting a major vibe that Europe needs to take control of its own financial future, especially with Trump at the helm 🙌💸. Cutting ties with US banks and credit cards might seem like a small step, but trust me, it's a game-changer. Think about it - if Europe can create its own market for euro-denominated bonds, that's gotta be a win-win for them in terms of economic stability 🤝.

It's all about being proactive and not letting external influences dictate their financial decisions. By working together, especially smaller member states, they can build a safety net for themselves and maybe even send a strong message to the US government that they won't be held hostage by Trump's policies 😒.

I mean, who needs uncertainty when you can have control over your own economic destiny? It's time for Europe to take charge of its finances and create a more stable future 🌎💪.
 
I think this step-by-step approach makes total sense 🤝. It's not about going against the US or Trump directly, but more about protecting Europe's financial stability and security. I mean, imagine if all these European pension funds started divesting from US bonds at the same time - it could create a domino effect! 🌪️ We should be supporting each other rather than pitting ourselves against the US. It's all about being proactive and looking out for our own economic interests 👍
 
I'm thinking we need to see some solid actions here 🤔, not just talk about it. Cutting up credit cards or closing joint bank accounts seems like a no-brainer, but I guess that's easier said than done 💸. I do love the idea of creating an alternative eurobond market, though - think of all the jobs and growth opportunities that could come from that 🌱. And who knows, maybe if we create our own safe haven, we can also encourage more stability in US politics too 🤞. It's all about taking small steps towards a bigger goal, right? 👍
 
I don’t usually comment but it seems like a lot of Europeans are getting serious about distancing themselves from Donald Trump and his economic policies 🤔. Cutting up credit cards or closing joint bank accounts might not be easy, but I think it’s a good starting point for long-term stability.

It's crazy to see pension funds selling their US government bonds just because of concerns over the US government finances 📈. The EU regulators need to make it easier for other pension funds to do the same, even if credit rating agencies say US debt is still safe.

Creating a market for euro-denominated bonds could be a game-changer 💸. It would give Europeans an alternative to US Treasury bonds and reduce their exposure to Trump's unpredictable policies. I think smaller member states collaborating first is a good idea – it wouldn’t be feasible if all 28 countries did it at once 😅.

It’s not just about politics, it’s about protecting the economic interests of European nations 🌍. If they can create an alternative safe haven for their investments, they might be able to weather the storm of Trump's presidency 💪.
 
🤔 I think its a great idea for Europeans to take matters into their own hands when it comes to distancing themselves from Donald Trump's influence on their economy. It's like, you know when you're trying to get out of a toxic relationship - sometimes you just need to break ties and start fresh 🚫. By cutting up credit cards or closing joint bank accounts, Europeans can show that they won't be swayed by Trump's unpredictable decisions.

And I love the idea of creating an alternative safe haven for investments, like an euro-denominated bond market 💸. It's like having a backup plan, you know? If one thing goes wrong, you've got another option to fall back on. Plus, if Europeans can make their own economic policies, they'll be less dependent on the US - it's like being financially independent, and that's a great feeling 🙏.

Of course, it won't be easy, but I think its worth a shot 😊. The EU should start by having smaller member states collaborate first, and then build from there. And who knows, maybe this will create a new economic power for Europe 💪?
 
I'm not sure about this whole thing tho 🤔... It sounds like Europeans are trying to distance themselves from Trump, but isn't that kinda a bit extreme? I mean, can't they just stick to their own economic decisions instead of cutting ties with the US?

And what's up with selling all those US government bonds? Isn't that kinda a big deal? It feels like they're being super cautious and it might even lead to higher interest rates in the EU... But hey, I guess if it means protecting their economy from Trump's unpredictability, then I'm down for it 🤞.

I do think it's interesting that Brussels is proposing a market for euro-denominated bonds tho... That could potentially drain some of the value from US government borrowing and make Europe less dependent on them. But we'll just have to wait and see how this all plays out 💸.
 
I think this would be a good move for europeans to step away from trump's influence financially 🤝. like if they just closed their joint bank accounts or something it wouldn't even be noticeable at first but then you'd see a change behind the scenes and that could actually make them more stable in the long run 💸.

i mean think about it if all these european pension funds just sold their us bonds because of trump's unpredictable economic policies it would basically give him less control over europeans finances 🚫. and creating a new market for euro-denominated bonds could be a great way to reduce portfolio risk and lower overall bond values but also make them less exposed to trump's risks 💡.

but i'm curious, do you think the EU has the coordination and cooperation to actually make this happen? like would all 28 countries just work together on something like this or would it start with smaller member states collaborating first 🤔.
