Good for Spain! Trump is such a man-child!

I think the trade threat isn't very effective when the population of that country hate Trump. The reason why Trump thinks that it might be effective is that the economic consequences might be negative and that will politically harm politicians. But if Trump is hated, telling him to fuck off is politically beneficial.

So does this means no trade with EU going both ways?
