Trump proves he's qualified to head the "Board of Peace" by threatening Macron with "a 200 percent tariff on his wines"

[Miles Archer]

President Emmanuel Macron’s office said on Monday that France—a permanent member of the actual U.N. Security Council—would not be joining over concerns that the board would undermine the U.N. framework, Politico reported. Asked to respond Monday to Macron’s decision not to join, Trump invoked his favorite cudgel for trying to force countries to bend to his will.

“Well, nobody wants him because he’s going to be out of office very soon, so you know, that’s alright,” he said. “What I’ll do is if they feel, like, hostile, I’ll put a 200 percent tariff on his wines and champagnes, and he’ll join.”

Macron’s second and final five-year presidential term ends in May 2027.

7. I wonder what he's up to with this "Board of Peace"?

Is it just open international grift ($1 B buy-in, like a poker game)? What else is he gonna spring on the world?
Like deciding that…
The U.N. is being replaced by this Bored of Peace?
That 200+ nations is too many, and that international borders are hereby declared invalid and each continent will hereby be allowed to have only one government (except Russia and China)?

Yeah, these suggestions are nuts, but consider who I’m talking about…
What else might be spring upon us?

10. Tripling the price

Of French wine would probably make people want it more.

Russian caviar, Cuban cigars.....a big part of the attraction is that they are expensive.
