I mean, here in Mexico, we’ll fight the fuck back. Our president is backed by almost 80% of us, if she says anything, we’ll follow. I don’t think Trump can say that, not even from his own voters. He thinks he’s making America great again, but his adversaries are having a ball: America is not looking strong, America is looking dumb, treasonous, fascist and alone as fuck. At the very same time, people should be aware that BRICS is now the BRICSEEEIIBBCKMNTTUUV. This guy is beating the shit out of his own creation, the USMC.
Trump created the marines?

50 States, 50 Protests, 1day
Feb 5 @ your downtown.
Pass the word!
Do people really still use Facebook?
Is there another place to see this? I deleted my Facebook last week to avoid all the Nazi propaganda :(
The hashtag is #50501 apparently.
Should be 10 days if possible
If this increasing shortsightedness means what i think it means, i doubt he will be capable of office for all 4 years of his term.
Not promoting violence but was wondering if there is a deathpool… You know a place where you can place bets. A very specific deathpool. Perhaps someone can start this game as um…a joke…you know some kind of fun joke. A fun site where we can gather and joke about the deaths of dictators.
he will live to be 107 and will easily finish his term unscathed
It doesn’t. Project 2025 is what is happening. This shit was literally all written down.
He’s a puppet at this point. President Leon is pretty visibly in charge, and I shudder to think about the smart puppeteers who are staying in the shadows.
President Eon isn’t exactly working in the shadows lol.
Exactly, he’s too dumb and egotistical. That’s why I worry about the puppeteers who are intelligent enough to stay out of the spotlight.
He’s definitely not a smart one 😂
And who will remove him from office if deemed incapable? Would he be replaced by his vice president JD Vance who supports his policies?
Lou E. G.
That’s another question.
and that the US had a deeper “piggy bank” than its trading partners regarding a potential trade war.
I thought the US has almost 20 trilions in debts?
Who bought this debt (US treasury bonds)? Mostly China, Japan, North Americans and Europeans … So they depend on the system, the circle closes. The US is the biggest importer in the world, and the years since 1945 where used for exporter nations to optimize and streamline for the American costumer. Breaking away from that system would be painful.
What I still can’t comprehend as a non American: It’s not Canada that’s going to pay the tariffs. It’s mostly US companies and at the end the US consumers will pay for it. That’s literally grabbing money from the pockets of US citizens. In what way does this sound like a good idea to a Trump voter? What happens if the affected countries start trading with each other and ignore the US? Trade wars have the the potential to develop into a full scale war if one of the participants is starved of the precious oil…
In what way does grabbing money from other people’s pockets sound great to trump ?
Have you not seen trump ? Thats exactly what he’s done his entire life.
It’s wild that his supporters are so brainwashed that they think it’s a good thing. The anti tax, anti big government people.
Yes, the people voting to burden themselves with broad new import taxes, on the basis that Trump said he’s going to lower taxes.
Trump has mentioned that tariffs will help him pay for his planned tax cuts. Tariffs are like a flat-tax, which disproportionately help the rich while taking more from the poor.
I also think there may be some other angles they’re working; but I’m not completely sure on. Trump often threatens people to solicit favors; so this may also be a way for him and his cronies collect bribes and favorably business deals from politicians and the wealthy from around the world. He may also have deals with Putin, because he’s acting exactly how you’d expect a person to act who was trying to destroy the Western hegemony.
Well this is one of the big answers. Tariffs are a hidden or indirect tax. Stupid democrats didn’t understand jack shit so didn’t use it as a campaign issue. He’s raising tax on everybody to pay for his tax cuts. He’s said before he likes the revenue from tariffs in the old days. When you take this approach in conjunction with his thinking on the immigration issue - that by reducing pool of cheap labor, American businesses will pay more and increase wages for low level jobs, you can see where he’s going with this. Prices certainly will be higher. I don’t know about the wages.
Say you are a oil producer, and frack gas and oil in Texas, an industry that supported trump. Now imagine what tariffs on oil-imports from Canada means for your business: rising prices, since gas from Canada would be less competitive. Same with logging and wood products.
Most voters don’t know how tariffs work and assume the country who’s goods are being targeted are the ones who will pay. A lot of people are in for a rude awakening.
Trudeaux announced retaliatory tarifs, which is an appropriate response however shitty it is. Everyone but the 1% lose
This is starting because Trump himself also don’t know how tariffs works
Also see the damn water reservoir thing because he doesn’t even understand how water works
And see the Colombia thing
Those folks firmly believed the trickle-down myth as well
What happens if the affected countries start trading with each other and ignore the US?
That would mean less money in rich people’s pockets, so we can’t do that.

Dumbest executive in history, no surprise at all
“Makes no sense” is the perfect tagline for the entirety of a second Trump term.
“It’s nonce-sense”
If you are a non-Trump voter in a red state, especially if you work for the flagship company or industry in that state, I would like to apologize on behalf of all Canadians for what our government is about to do. We don’t want to do it but it is the only way to deal with a bully.
Absolutely an anti-Trump voter in a red state who works in the healthcare industry where most of my repairs come from Canadian parts.
I know it’s against the Canadian way but do not apologize. We voted this way, time to learn.
Apologizing while doing terrible things to teach a lesson is the Canadian way. Just look at how they treat native Americans.
I’ll be here all week folks!
Does nobody understand the term “cash grab”? He’d play hell raising taxes on us to get what the tarrifs will get him
People, please don’t forget that they (the trump admin) redid the trade agreement with Mexico and Canada in their previous term. We are in this shit because they couldn’t even make a deal previously and still think they are masters of deals.
Well it is from the dumbest president in history (for the 2nd time).
Less than two weeks in and a Republican President has editorials from the normally-Republican-friendly Wall Street Journal taking a whack at them.
goes over to see what Cato is up to
Looks like the top three stories are all also attacking Trump.
-
Trump’s Deportations Will Hit American Workers, Too
-
Trump Administration Purge of FBI Managers Underway
-
Here Comes the Legal Campaign Against “Woke” Employers
For a guy aiming to make a big deal out of firing lots of government employees, he sure isn’t getting much love from the small-government crowd.
EDIT: Just to add to that, Reason’s top stories are also taking a whack at Trump:
-
Tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China Could Start This Weekend: Trump’s second trade war has apparently arrived. There remains much uncertainty, but expect it to be costly.
-
Trump’s Pro-Growth, Anti-Trade Positions Are on a Collision Course
-
Trump’s Role Model McKinley Tariffed His Way to Imperialism
-
Trump’s ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’ Sets Up Another GOP Budget Showdown: Almost exactly one year after Congress swore off self-inflicted fiscal crises, we’re back to the same tired theatrics.
-
Why Is Paramount So Keen To Settle Trump’s Laughable Lawsuit Against CBS?
Sure, now they complain.
Yeah I saw a Bloomberg headline this week that said the price of eggs will probably never come back down. If they had published that three months ago, maybe people wouldn’t have based their vote around that.
Hah! Now the leopard is eating their dick.
Trump would make a bad king, too unpredictable. Conservative shit spouters like Jones are pivoting to papa Elon. Its gross
-
Didn’t they just fire a few staff members critical of Trump?
Edit: Apparently they didn’t endorse anyone.
The WSJ is pretty conservative. They probably endorsed Trump too, regardless of the fact that he stated, outright, he was going to do another dumbass trade war.
I think they quit after Lord Amazon didn’t let them endorse Harris.
WaPo !== WSJ
Oh my bad
