“I thought he would only do horrible things to other people.” You get the government you deserve.

I have listened to a lot of American economists debate the viability of the Trump trade policy. But no American seems to understand that regardless of what trades deals he negotiates, a LARGE percentage of people in former allied countries now HATE America and wouldn’t buy anything with a 🇺🇸 on it.

“The American government is the greatest organization ever.” You’re in a cult too. Maybe not MAGA, but the Cult Of America. You have intimate knowledge of the workings of every other government, let alone every organization that has ever existed? You’re not the greatest country (#jeffdaniels)

It’s adorable that you take Trump, Musk and DOGE at their word that they are looking for inefficiencies. I look forward to your 2026 podcast on how kleptocracies have faired longterm. Bye America, it was nice knowing you.

As a Canadian, I appreciate the sentiment. But it is hollow. I am sure there were Germans who didn’t want the Nazis to invade Poland. But they did. And yesterday, American declared economic war on Canada. So fuck America, Americans, and anything made in America.
