Absolutely. trump throws away treaties on a whim. Destroys the global financial market to line his own pockets, hands classified info to our former enemies, and would stab his own children in the back for 13 cents. Absolutely the most untrustworthy president in our nations history.
Absolutely treason against the Constitution cannot be taken lightly and it must be punished there is no leniency in it and there never should be because that leads to absolute ruin.
If anything, I might suggest the world was too optimistic. Biden is just so sane and normal that many used that as a basis for pretending that what they wanted to be true was true, that the US could be treated as a serious country and a reliable ally. He let many overlook the foundational problem.
Biden should have rolled up his sleeves, fast tracked Trump to Jail, reformed the justice system and taken the money out of politics.
Maybe he didn't have the votes but he would only have found out if he tried.
After Trump was given a free rein to run again despite being found guilty for inciting an insurrection, it would have taken some serious effort to pretend everything was just sane and normal.
People, even and especially politicians, will go to great lengths to avoid admitting that the world has changed. Some look at the sheer power of the US and try to just accommodate it. Heck, Starmer *still* can't admit that the US is a lost cause.
Yeah, US tourists abroad… work that Canada thing backpackers use to do during Libya (80s) and gulf 1 (90/91) and gulf 2 (2001…???) Also that whole Grenada deal in 83, oh and Panama 89. Once you start listing them, yo, stop bullying other countries huh!
No, it's not at all accurate.
This is not a one-generation thing. The US has lost all trust and all soft power *permanently*.
How can anyone trust a nation that radically changes course every four years (or every 2 years)? What plans can you make with a dictatorship?
The US is now a failed state.
Though I agree with you on the US (I wish I wouldn’t need to) but there is no reason for Europeans to be arrogant.
Check the rise of the ultra right in our countries, from North to South, from Western to Central Europe. (I leave the East, Belarus and Russia, out here).
The 'madman' approach to foreign relations--whether deliberate or just plainly ignorant--works well if one's objective is to provoke a reaction from other countries. But it is an abject failure when time comes to strike agreements with other countries--because no other country will trust you.
Definitely. It must be stressed that there is a few countries the US has created new and stronger ties to and thus legitimate these: authoritarian regimes like Israel, North Korea, El Salvador etc.
I think at this point the world wants to see him and his corrupt admin gone - and toss in that lying parasite of a press secretary who was told Day 1, Now git out there and lie to the people. You have our blessing.
Sadly the USA will soon follow Russia with the fall of the USSR. The US Dollars will loose its value like the Russian Rubbles. Get ready to buy eggs for $10,000 / each. 😞
i think they are smarter than that. once they see the cheeto dust getting swept away they will be willing to ally with us again. wary with more self protection perhaps, and rightly so. But they see americans standing up for america. time will out.
That's why the meme states it would take a generation. America will need to root out the autocracy and then vote for democracy for at least 20 years before trust could ever be contemplated again.
If, some way, Democrats took over the government tomorrow, arrested Trump and his top henchmooks, and started prosecuting the bejesus out of them while Congress furiously undid all of Trump's bad actions, then we might regain our allies' trust sooner. But will that happen? Please.
No. There's no unringing this bell. Over time, some trust can be rebuilt, but it will be a slow and fragile process - it won't take much to set it back.
Remember, it took the US over a century to get where it was, and 80 years after WW2 end, Germany still faces some mistrust.
On a personal level, Germany faces some mistrust, but on a nation-to-nation level, it's doing just fine. In fact, given what Trump has been doing, in some corners German Prime Minister Olaf Scholz is now referred to as the de facto leader of the free world.
The US would be luvky if itʼs onły s generation. US is damaged goods łikely gorever. The American age is over thanks to MAGAts. And lets not forget, America under trump & ̨GOP is far from the bottom or turning things around
There's not even a question. Speaking from the UK, the US is done. And getting its standing back will now take far more than just removing Felon47. You seem to have little idea how extensive, maybe irreparable, is the damage. Trump leaves behind him a nation of scorched earth.
Yes because the problem isn’t just Trump. It’s all the so called Americans who think electing a vindictive, corrupt, lying criminal was just fine. Not to mention a military that is riddled with his supporters and simply refuses to remove him. That adds up to zero trust.
It's NOT Fox. They're the symptom. The disease is Rupert Murdoch, and the sickness is the selling out of the USA to foreign oligarchs over roughly the last 25 years, be it Musk, Murdoch, or various Russians, who now have the WH and the minds of the nation under their control as a result.
A generation?
There is no going back.
China will fill the openings and undermine any USA efforts for the next 100 years.
China may not physically take Taiwan but they will decide where their chips are going and that will be enough.
Unless there is another operation warp speed the future is bleak.
Canadian here 🍁
Absolutely yes.We see what's happening there as a shift to authoritarianism and want nothing to do with it.Won't support it with travel. Not using amazon, any e-commerce or buying anything 🇺🇸 made. Have family there who are overwhelmed with the losses they are witnessing 1st hand. SAD
The entire GOP can't be trusted. Congress can't be trusted. The cuck Democrats can't be trusted. The military can't be trusted. Police can't be trusted. Courts cannot be trusted. Governors can't be trusted. The American people can't be trusted.
I procure medium and high voltage plant from around the world and by far China is a more reliable supply partner than the US. We are actively ensuring we minimise our supply chain risk by removing as much US supply as possible.
I saw a video from an American business woman who said essentially the same thing & she gave examples. The world simply does not have to stand for what America does to their own.
Can you imagine a name of a USA leader who has the charm integrity to both heal the USA after Trump?
If no one comes to mind how could they heal the international damage?
would you just forget all this? Would anyone? Pretty doubtful. And even after he's gone, anyone meeting an american in any context is going to think ...."Is this one of them?" and be distrustful. It's not just trump. It's all the people who supported him. That's the real problem.
I don't think AMERICA lost the trust, I'm sure trump lost the trust, once he and EVERY SINGLE person in the administration is gone, we can get back to normal with our alliances
Wrong, it's gone forever. The reason, you have a very gullible citizenry. You elected a fucking moron twice. We all hope you have an election in 2028 & it's a democratic sweep. But, what about 2032 ?
You're fucked !
You aren't getting rid of this administration - this is it now. 77 million Americans voted for this & 90 million couldn't even be bothered to vote despite Project 25 clearly setting out what a second Trump term meant. The US is finished as the country we thought we knew.
To paraphrase Oscar Wilde.
To lose one election to an idiot/crook, may be regarded as a misfortune.
To lose two, to the same idiot/crook looks like carelessness.
The world economies will not trust such carelessness easily.
Yep, our allies will think twice before sharing intel information with America. It will take time before America regains its standing in the world. All because of an indicative old incompetent old geezer.
Certainly at least 8-12 years. I doubt the next prez will be able to make all the necessary changes in one term and that's assuming Team Trump is out of power by 2028...
I agree. I think if we work hard, maybe in that period of time we can work toward being an equal peer to the rest of the world. Americans need to change our attitude and stop thinking of our country as the best at everything. Clearly we have been drinking our own koolaid for a long time.
You forget how easily America's allies forgave its many previous transgressions. Pragmatism & expediency will win out. We don't have to *like* them, just be able to work with them...
Well it's certainly going to be a while! My 8-12 years was a best-case assuming everyone concerned gets their shit together, which I'll admit rarely seems to happen :-/
💯 As a Proud Canadian who believed our countries were bound together by mutual respect for each other’s sovereignty,
I will never visit America or buy American until this evil and monstrous regime has ended
👍🏾👊🏾 hopefully these four years fly by. He’s the worst president in America’s history. Don’t blame you and your fellow Canadians for not buying or coming to America.
It's no problem not buying from the US here in France. The postal charges are insane and often double the cost. Postage for the same item is mostly free from China.🤔
And you shouldn't. The only thing that's going to get Americans to act is if they lose money, mess with their income, than all he'll will break loose. Sadly, that's the only thing many think about here.
My shopping habits have been rerouted permanently to exclude all US products. Have access to everything I need or want from Canadian or international sources.
"for a generation" is putting it lightly. It'll not only take that and maybe more to remedy the damage caused. But where trust is concerned, or returning to what it was previously will take longer than that imo.
The reason being is that the "moving on" by all previous allies is already happening.
The decline in trust has been scarily rapid but actually if a new and sensible administration was voted in convincingly next time it is probably reversible. The longer US voters allow Trump and any subsequent Trump like chaos to continue, the longer it will take to restore trust.
For as long as the Republican Party remains in its current form and with the same Senators voted in, Fox News still spewing 💩, you will always hv a cohort of 75 million people voting for it; they can’t be our friends because fundamentally nothing has changed.
You all voted this lunatic in TWICE. You can’t be trusted not to do it again in the future. Sorry not sorry from the great and sovereign nation of Canada true North Strong and Free
How can the decline in trust be considered scarily rapid? The international community made their positions pretty well-known throughout the 1st Trump admin, yet after Jan 6, private hoarding of classified info. (some of which undoubtedly related to allies), & multiple convictions; he was re-elected.
Europe has lost the trust of the US since Obama’s days when he did and said nothing about the illegal invasion of Crimea by Russia. Trump is just the icing on the cake. We will break with you and you will have to work hard to gain back our trust!
Part of that work needs to be the end of "America! The greatest country on earth!" which so many Americans believe. It's fine to be patriotic about your country. It's not fine to look down on everyone else. Especially when you have little history behind you other than stealing from the natives.
History has shown time and time again that when empires get to a certain size they eventually implode into lawlessness and anarchy. Without fundamental rebuilding, both internally and externally the US will fade like Rome, Byzantium and indeed the British empire. Sad to see.
In a way, it is good that we have come to distrust the US. For too long we have seen the US as an extension of us (or vice versa). Also good is to learn that every democracy is worth as much as until the next election.
We no longer trust you BECAUSE YOU HAVE DONE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO SHOW US YOU CARE. YOU ARE STILL SELF SERVING AS ALWAYS. LOOK AT HOW U DO NOTHING WHILE INNOCENT MEN SIT IN PRISON IN EL SALVADOR, YOU ARE A NATION OF FUCKING COWARDS😡
Schools in the US should have mandatory visits to the holocaust museum in Washington DC. History lessons about WW2 and fascism. Nazi symbols are illegal in Europe. Why not in North America? These young people waving these flags have no idea about Hitlers cruelty on humans.
It’s not only sad that he offended us Canadians, but he is dividing people, politics and countries. He brings out the worst in people. It hurts when he says: “and Canada was nasty, treated us nasty.” While we fought wars together, bushfires and helped with getting electricity back after bad weather
I don’t think any sane person or country would ever trust the USA again until proper constitutional checks and balances are implemented and shown to be enforced to stop the kind of madness Trump has done.
the problem is not only the tariffs. here in europe we find his statements about the alleged faults of ukraine and his way of referring to european countries as profiteers disconcerting and repugnant. 1/2
i don't know if it will take a long time to rebuild the relationships. surely when this band of arrogant incompetents are sent home, we will be able to go back to discussing respecting the dignity of all. 2/2
I think the only way to recover it sooner than just waiting a few generations would be a very swift and complete revolution, overthrowing him and placing someone better in the White House. I think that's the only way we prove we're not a lost cause.
If the Americans can vote in the most unsuitable candidate it is possible to have - they can do it again - Until US citizens get educated and engage, they are incapable of making a reasoned judgement
Until they get a proper democracy - one person one vote. Would never had Trump if they had a real democracy.
Their “great experiment” seems to have failed
If trump stops all his tarriffs today America have got 125% tarriffs instead of previous 20% , lost all moral authority , lost all her allies with them forming trade blocs among themselves excludin America , hows that for his art of his fcking deal lol
🇨🇵4 years of Trump can change the world. Today he prefers Putin and his minerals, making toasters, twentieth-century cars, and drilling as possible : bad sign
The problem isn't Trump, so much as it's all the Republican Party - the first time they supported him was bad enough, but continuing to support him and doing so whilst he turns the US into a fascist authoritarian oligarchy that's utterly in bed with Russia?
I think we lost the trust of our allies when, before he left office, he stole boxes and boxes of classified documents and stored them in a Mar-a-Lago bathroom, and his bedroom.
It started long before that. Public schools were gutted of funding. They become the unusual way for tens of millions of children to be educated. I think this is the result. They got religious educations that hid facts from them and propogandized them. Start there, about 50 years ago.
Will they return?
When (especially rural) voters with no understanding of international markets can change those markets every 4 years depending on the levels of Christian nationalism & xenophobia they might be feeling at the time?
Investors will return to Tesla once Elon has left as CEO. It may take some time...
Investors like stability and not too much of surprises. Trump bring too much surprise to the scene for the big investors to see USA as a reliable and solid opportunity.
I think what's shocked most of us is how EASILY it's all happened. We realise now that the legendary strength of the American Constitution and the "World's Greatest Democracy" was all just Hollywood bullshit. The truth is, America had no safeguards in place to prevent a fascist takeover from within.
I really struggle to understand that anyone who can carry a Confederate Battle Flag can say that they also respect the Stars & Stripes - and believe in the Union.
Trump says he doesn't what a Union in so many words - more of a Confederacy. A divide to rule Confederacy.
Generations of southerners never forgave the north and spread their hate to other generations. Trump harnessed that hate and used those people to take over.
Certainly if the US wrestle back the soul of their country, they need to do some thinking and see what changes they can make. I always believed a written constitution keeps a country strong but I think we realise now it’s a universal voters participation in politics that strengthens democracy.
He has permission by his supporters who know “We the people” and the 1&2 of the constitution. And he has permission of all the people who are not trying to stop him. Social media bluster means nothing to a narcissist who watches tv.
Spot on! We've had to endure all that "greatest democracy" and "strongest constitution" nonsense for decades—only for it all to unravel in a matter of days thanks to an orange felon, a complicit GOP, and a corrupt Supreme Court.
Just more examples of Americans' self-absorption where they steadfastly believed their system was superior to anyone else in the world. Everything for the blind worship of their consitution to the enabling the likes of faux entertainment to the corporate money and politicially motivated SCOTUS
was better than any other system.
Yet here is lies broken & so corrupted that no manner of political discourse can save it. What is even more shocking is that the majority of Americans don't really care regardless of what the rallies of AOC and Saunders might show. 35K in a city of 7 million is NBD
We all knew that America was deeply flawed, but, I for one am deeply shocked at how little institutional resistance there is. Did constitutional lawyers not know their system was this weak. Genuinely, did everyone just believe with no substance?
Appalling, but I was thinking more about academia. Isnt it someone’s purpose to be aware and correct? As a Brit, although aware of its many flaws, I had no idea the its democracy was so flawed, corruptible and weak. Until after jan 6th. I thought Trump et al were all bluster and bollocks.
I think the problem is exactly the same in many countries. It was certainly the same in Weimar Germany. Our democratic constitutions rely naively and almost exclusively on "honourable gentlemen doing the right thing". None of them seem to be prepared for conspiracies of dishonourable men from within
For example, how can loading of the Supreme Court be possible? It’s a crucial part of the 3 legged democratic stool. Did no one notice? Did they just ignore it? We knew the media were rotten, but Christ alive, this is negligent.
It wasn’t that easy. They have bullied and threatened their way to lawlessness for generations of disgruntled southerners, since the
Civil war. They finally got the full support of a political movement.
The only "safeguard" it had was the constitution. And it seems that nobody ever considered the possibility that somebody might just ignore it. They just assumed all Presidents would be honourable and follow the constitution.
That seems about right. I checked if the Supreme Court has any power to enforce its rulings. It doesn't. It relies on the politicians to enforce it for them. But when the politicians just ignore the ruling, what then?
We end up with the situation that the US is in now: The President and his cronies just do whatever they want to do. Then America will turn into a fascist dictatorship.
I think it changes our social relationships too.
The last vote showed that the simple majority (of voters) supported racism, xenophobia, transphobia, homophobia, misogyny, anti-fairness, extreme capitalism. Not to mention all that from a rapist and actual villain.
You rightly lose friends for less.
If you have to ask if this is accurate, then you are an idiot. Would you ever trust anyone that turned and abrogates all of their commitments and promises?
I think so, too... since he's also turned his back on Ukraine and any claims of being in favor of freedom; and since he's made Biden's disgraceful support of Bibi's genocide even worse. The dollar and our economy have been a beacon of stability... without that, and all the above...? 💔
Yes. Even if the world is watching the fast implemention of project 2025 plans through dismantling the american Government and is's Institutions without ANY relevant institutional resistance. This MUST apparently be largely supported
After watching US telly promote Israeli propaganda for many mamy years and now spouting Russian rhetoric from the senate via an entertainment channel that dresses up as a news channel, it's done.
Canadian here 🍁 100% yes, 0 trust, 0 intrest in visiting the states again. Also, actively buying anything i can that is Canadian or ANYTHING other than USA. I'm sorry, love your country/people (besides Maga) but just can't. The 51st state thing did me in. #ElbowsUp #Never51 #cdnpoli
You aren't. My partner's even refusing business trips that use US airspace.
Those carriers smart enough to introduce international routes that bypass US airspace will undoubtedly see an uptick in traffic.
There’s absolutely no upside to travelling to or through the US currently, and that’s sad for those who got off their arses to vote for someone who isn’t a criminal orange narciopath in the 2024 election.
Those who voted for Trump, or couldn’t be bothered to vote at all, all this is on them…
I'm very wary, have been for a while to be honest. None of this happened out of the blue, it's been coming for a long time. Something changed in American culture and I could really feel it even 10 years ago. People seem angry, resentful and aggressive. Don't know why, it's just noticeable.
Agree. Lots of factors coming together; ignorance of people, social media I-believe-what-I-believe attitudes, believing agenda-driven influencers and personalities over facts, a media captured by billionaires, craven politicians, loss of factual programming replaced by cheaper reality tat…
…and people’s attention spans being capable of no more than a 10-30 second soundbite headline/statement, and lacking a desire to understand any depth. All of this generates angry people, manipulated off limited information, which is good for ratings. It also gives rise to a populist political class…
…I will say, though, that beyond the clear idiocy of a number of Trump officials - and Trump himself - there are undoubtedly some very clever and nefarious people involved with the administration who’ve looked at the constitution and US democracy, and plotted a way to subvert it.
Needs fundamental change that the current setup is incapable of.
Thinking about it, income inequality has also fed into this anger - the rich getting richer, the poor starting the same and the middle classes just getting by. That has been taken advantage of.
Exactly. If they can charge dodgy Tories for putting a bet on about the timing of a general election, they can get serious and start prosecuting the bigger crooks who were running the country at the time. Don't hold your breath, though, Westminster is rotten to its very core.
Without a doubt.
Even if we elect Gandhi in 2028, our allies will now always worry that we might lose our minds again four years later. They're not going to share intelligence, they're going to be stingy with their trading policies – in short, we are going to be isolated. Trump is a disaster.
I think it has. I’m not sure it can restore itself because once it’s clear the corruption is acceptable once it will be again. I think America exceptionalism is dead, Europe, China, India have nothing to gain allowing it to be restored.
It will start with the tech giants, EU will force them to split off as the EU cannot trust the data will not be abused. The days of the tech billionaires is coming to an end.
The democrats need to go all France 1919 and punish everyone associated with the administration. They will get all 3 branches and when they do they need to make sure everyone is in line. Jail and jail quick when this comes to an end. No messing around for 4 years.
Yes it is. As far as the world is concerned Trump has never hidden his depravity and 77 million Americans were completely fine with it. Great powers can survive a lot of things. But no empire, not Babylon, not Rome, can survive a decadent and corrupt people.
NO administration in American history, NOT Jackson w/ Indian removal, NOT Lincoln in Merryman, NOT FDR over the New Deal, NOT Truman in Youngstown, NOT Nixon over the tapes,NOT Bush with Guantanamo, has openly defied a court order like this, much less one unanimously endorsed by the Supreme Court
canadian here, will never cross the border again. will support efforts to disentangle ourselves and going forward want my country to make new alliances & purely self interested agreements. (and yes, i fking know, 'but not all americans blahblah')
A generation? America's status is now untrustworthy pariah. Death might wash that status away. Either ours, or anyone now alive to beat witness to who we were and what we did.
This is not merely a matter of trust lost. It's active mistrust. The sure and certain knowledge that a democratic state is actively rogue, ignoring its own laws and has, in places of considerable power, dangerous fools, liars and libertarian sycophants.
Even if Trump is removed in this term allies across the global community would need to see massive change to ensure this never happens again. No country wants to sign trade agreements that can be torn up every few years. They will seek more stable relationships!
Europe's known the US makes shit up since at least 2000. Now people seem to realise the US doesn't just make shit up about People Far Away, but also about its allies and therefore can't be trusted. I guess that made the difference. 🤷😩
It's absolutely bloody everything - alliance with Putin, attacks on Canada and Greenland, tariffs (the policy, the hostile rhetoric, and the crazy unpredictability), the incompetence (DOGE firings and rehirings, Signal chat), abductions, contempt of SCOTUS - all at the same time.
Not an America thing?
Did he proclaim himself president without an election?
Are checks & balances on his power being used?
Is the rule of law being followed?
Has SCOTUS conducted itself in an unbiased fashion since his last admin?
Were citizens aware of his prior conduct before re-electing him?
No. Get back to decency and the rule of law, elect a proper president and sort out the rubbish in Senate, Congress and House of Representatives. Bring back deported people and have them being judged under regular courts, and finally Build Back Better.
From a Canadian view?
Absolutely.
Is it repairable?
Absolutely.
If you got rid of tRump and his goons today and started acting sanely it wouldn't take long for the world to settle down.
Will your economy recover?
That I'm less certain of in the short term.
Comments
Maybe he didn't have the votes but he would only have found out if he tried.
I wouldn't have minded a more reformist approach, a wild-eyed bomb-throwing radical, but he did exactly what he promised. For good and for ill.
This is not a one-generation thing. The US has lost all trust and all soft power *permanently*.
How can anyone trust a nation that radically changes course every four years (or every 2 years)? What plans can you make with a dictatorship?
The US is now a failed state.
Issue arrest warrants!
Actually prosecute and imprison those responsible!
Closely watch all who identify as Republican.
"Republican" is the new "Nazi", and as long as we deny this, we're not seeking reparations with anyone. (Nor should we be trusted.)
The reason: It seems like, elected bodies around the country actually are okay with being participants in a dictatorship.
There has to be a lot of cleaning up to do in the US, if you ever want to regain our trust again.
Trump is just a symptom. The entire GOP has gone fascist.
The question is whether the US will remain one entity. Somehow I doubt it.
The US has been moving in this direction for decades.
In a democracy where the people decide their future, the government is compelled to act. In this case, democracies will align without the US.
That's all gone now and it will take an extraordinary effort by the United States to ever get it back.
To be honest, I don't see that happening.
Check the rise of the ultra right in our countries, from North to South, from Western to Central Europe. (I leave the East, Belarus and Russia, out here).
So, in conclusion, yes, most would crawl back.
Trump 2.0
I noticed at the very beginning, the first year of Biden's term and Trump wasn't in jail?
Pffft. I knew where it was going to go.
Remember, it took the US over a century to get where it was, and 80 years after WW2 end, Germany still faces some mistrust.
You know, the voters?
There is no going back.
China will fill the openings and undermine any USA efforts for the next 100 years.
China may not physically take Taiwan but they will decide where their chips are going and that will be enough.
Unless there is another operation warp speed the future is bleak.
Absolutely yes.We see what's happening there as a shift to authoritarianism and want nothing to do with it.Won't support it with travel. Not using amazon, any e-commerce or buying anything 🇺🇸 made. Have family there who are overwhelmed with the losses they are witnessing 1st hand. SAD
The entire GOP can't be trusted. Congress can't be trusted. The cuck Democrats can't be trusted. The military can't be trusted. Police can't be trusted. Courts cannot be trusted. Governors can't be trusted. The American people can't be trusted.
If no one comes to mind how could they heal the international damage?
You're fucked !
No, we can not.
We can start fresh, cutting all alliances and have a business relationship, but thats it. And its going to be on our terms.
I did not see former Brothers in arms killed in Afghanistan in support of America to see you all piss on us. Twice.
The brotherhood is gone. Forever.
Not only because of Trump but also because so many within his orbit are every bit as corrupt and as compromised as him
And no one is able to stop him
The US is simply not a trustworthy entity.
The US might need to split up.
To lose one election to an idiot/crook, may be regarded as a misfortune.
To lose two, to the same idiot/crook looks like carelessness.
The world economies will not trust such carelessness easily.
I guess greed got in the way.
It took Spain 40 years to get rid of fascism.
Thankfully so.
That doesn’t mean that people should not be aware. A small threat is still a threat and has the potential to grow bigger with time if ignored.
They will not get rid of fascism this fast.
I will never visit America or buy American until this evil and monstrous regime has ended
The reason being is that the "moving on" by all previous allies is already happening.
Stupid dumb fucks for voting for this dumbshit.
Should of been done Jan 7th like a banana republic would do to a failed coup leader
And clearly USA is a banana republic

It's way, way too much.
Until then, they'll go to EU where the opportunities don't change on daily basis!
When (especially rural) voters with no understanding of international markets can change those markets every 4 years depending on the levels of Christian nationalism & xenophobia they might be feeling at the time?
Investors like stability and not too much of surprises. Trump bring too much surprise to the scene for the big investors to see USA as a reliable and solid opportunity.
Trump can't keep jammi'n at this pace forever...!
But you are right. Major loss in trust is made because of the tariff gambling with world economy and it's very far away from over!
Deportation of people without due process.
Disregarding judges orders.
That doesn't change simply by changing Tesla's CEO.
Most people don't want to contribute to increasing Musk's wealth; & Tesla isn't the only company in the US.
Trump and Musk made great damage to the global finance and the global stock market and that's not easily repaired.
You know all! :-)
Hope it was intended humorously! 😉
Trump says he doesn't what a Union in so many words - more of a Confederacy. A divide to rule Confederacy.
Imagine if instead of outlawing Nazisim Germany had allowed the party to live in Bavaria and today that flag was a symbol of German "social pride."
But, institutions are made up of ppl, and if those ppl are corrupted, this is what you get.
That's exactly it. Therefore, that system can never be trusted again. Never.
Only an end to the old system and a radical new beginning can generate a chance for new trust.
Like with Germany after 1945.
They mocked those who warned them.
more weapons for a new civil war
Yet here is lies broken & so corrupted that no manner of political discourse can save it. What is even more shocking is that the majority of Americans don't really care regardless of what the rallies of AOC and Saunders might show. 35K in a city of 7 million is NBD
Civil war. They finally got the full support of a political movement.
In a democracy, you can't prevent a fascist takeover, if (enough of) the people VOTE for fascism.
Republicans VOTED for this.
The main problem is the chaos of the on-again, off-again policies that make it impossible to do business (or have any relationship) with America
The last vote showed that the simple majority (of voters) supported racism, xenophobia, transphobia, homophobia, misogyny, anti-fairness, extreme capitalism. Not to mention all that from a rapist and actual villain.

It will be a long time (if ever) getting that trust back.
(Baby steps back to democracy)
I'm so confused about the 2nd amendment
But when!
Will take GENERATIONS to restore America back to what Trump-Musk and MAGA-GOP have reigned down in just 2 months
America is Disgusting to cower like some terrified, abused spouse and allow MONSTERS to do this
BTW have I mentioned..
Trump voters shld be DEPORTED to El Salvador 😡
ANNEXATION
Those carriers smart enough to introduce international routes that bypass US airspace will undoubtedly see an uptick in traffic.
Those who voted for Trump, or couldn’t be bothered to vote at all, all this is on them…
Thinking about it, income inequality has also fed into this anger - the rich getting richer, the poor starting the same and the middle classes just getting by. That has been taken advantage of.
It’s in a horrendous mess right now. I’m not sure how it changes but people not being so gullible to the lies of charlatans would be a start.
But this level of hyperbole is neither accurate nor necessary.

Even if we elect Gandhi in 2028, our allies will now always worry that we might lose our minds again four years later. They're not going to share intelligence, they're going to be stingy with their trading policies – in short, we are going to be isolated. Trump is a disaster.
The US might need to split up. Large parts of the US is a banana republic.
I couldn’t blame Canada one bit for being upset!
This is like your best friend stabbing you in the back. Heartbreaking.
He wants to be the next “Hitler”.
Period.
Why would our allies trust us (the U.S.) again?!
Our pretend potus has turned our best buddies into enemies.
It’s what Trump has always excelled at…DIVISION.
I hope at some point we will be rid of him, and we can get back to normalcy again.
My extreme apology for him.
Personally, l don't trust Trump and his regime ..and l am just an onlooker*.
Refuse to visit the USA.
Boycott US goods because of corporate greed.
El Salvador president must be indicted by the ICC. ⚖️
There's no reason to trust anything we say or law/agreement passed. It's not a stable environment.
I have to live with it, but the world doesn't & can find alternatives.
On any subject ...
My government does not speak for me. These are old friendships worth preserving.
When we romantic boomers are gone, the rest of you folks can have at it.
Economic uncertainty fuels the hatred in the USA. .
Did he proclaim himself president without an election?
Are checks & balances on his power being used?
Is the rule of law being followed?
Has SCOTUS conducted itself in an unbiased fashion since his last admin?
Were citizens aware of his prior conduct before re-electing him?
The US has a fascist government.
And maybe for more than a generation...
To be fair: Stop Hyper-Capitalism. Get social.
The trust of the globe in democracy is being broken.
Absolutely.
Is it repairable?
Absolutely.
If you got rid of tRump and his goons today and started acting sanely it wouldn't take long for the world to settle down.
Will your economy recover?
That I'm less certain of in the short term.
