One thing that nobody seems to be talking about is what might happen if Trump becomes the US president. He is on record as saying that he can't see why America is in NATO and Europe should look after itself.

My thoughts are that if Trump get into the Whitehouse that the rest of the world should take a deep breath and hold it for the next four years. Trump pulls out of NATO, tries to build a wall, whatever. Four years later he's out of office and the US can step up and say something like " Um, guys? Can we just reset the server back to the way it was four years ago? We're really sorry about that  :redface: :redface:

...and this is perhaps an indication of the sorts of shenanigans of the EU, which led to Brexit.

Tim Cook says EU's ruling is maddening.

Thank the Lord someone is taking on the global corporates, who don't pay their taxes. But I suspect the EU's move will be found to be illegal.
