I get the feeling that the only country that Trump wants to have free trade with is Russia.

Instead of fantasizing about Canada becoming the 51st state, you should be more concerned about if there even will be any elections in the US in four years or if you will be Russia's 9th federal district by then. At the moment it looks more like that to me.

vladoravinger.bsky.social•111 days ago

True. But seems like only Democrats want another elections and even those are not sure completely. Others don’t care.

re69.bsky.social•111 days ago

They wait for the midterms but I think that's to late.
Big orange 🍊 will change the system until than.
Hitler needed two months to change it and then there were no more 'real' elections until end of the war.

vladoravinger.bsky.social•111 days ago

That is my take too. Although there may be rigged elections like those in Russia. If meanwhile every public oponent is labeled as ´terrorist´ and extorted or imprisoned then there will be ´elections’. Think Germany before WW2 or Ruzzia. Btw what war are you refering to? Ukraine? US civil war?

re69.bsky.social•111 days ago

WW2 or with other words after the end of Hitler

The problem with u lot is that u just always slowly get a feeling towards something, would have been so much better, some of the feelings would have had occurred about six months prior to a majority of US voters. Now some things slowly dawn on some and the rest of the world is shaken in horror

"in an early-morning statement"
Timed so that now the Americans for a change have to wake up to bad news from the other side of the Atlantic.

I hope companies in the US start standing up the First Felon and end this.

How long before he retracts? Let the countdown begin…

I love our country, but unless someone can explain to me why we are starting trade wars with our allies, I support our allies! We elected Trump, a dull tool for certain. They did not. We are going to have to suffer the consequences of our election choice!

guido-viel.bsky.social•111 days ago

At the election you, as US, had only two choice: democrats (woke=bad) and republicans (Trump=psychopath). And you chose the least worse. That's It.

pgau.bsky.social•111 days ago

Woke worse than Psychopath?

sunenergy.bsky.social•110 days ago

Really? Beg to differ!

pgau.bsky.social•110 days ago

Woke is about caring for the other.
Psychopathy is about no empathy.
I consider the former a million times better than the latter. If you disagree tough - you can fuck yourself.

The hard of thinking voted for cheaper prices and the economy (which the orange turd is now tanking) and the cynical voted for a license to openly hate the Other. A third of the voters did not vote. And a third voted for democracy.

How about instead of playing Trump’s game, governments set the rules and address the far bigger threat from Trump and Musk?

This thread includes Musk’s posts on his plan to take a million people to Mars to escape the collapse of civilisation on Earth. Maybe listen to what he’s saying. ⬇️

Block Twitter. Should be the only measure needed in retaliation. Adding more tariffs just adds to inflation.

gblatt.bsky.social•110 days ago

Also, people with common sense should delete their Twitter accounts (I refuse to call it "X"). I did and feel so much better.

abethel.bsky.social•110 days ago

Trump's tariffs on steel and aluminum are harming US consumers and businesses alike. The EU's strong response highlights the risks of isolationist policies that jeopardize vital economic relationships while worsening prices and supply chain issues.

gblatt.bsky.social•110 days ago

Oh, @politico.eu ! How you play by trump and Putin's music. Shame on you!

tjerkv.bsky.social•110 days ago

People here are already identifying US originating goods in the shops and food markets.
I like Jack Daniels but it's not a big thing to stop drinking it from time to time.
Just a drop in the ocean but together with the Canadians it adds up eh..

phyllipp.bsky.social•111 days ago

I recomend european tariffs on #eggs and #chicken 😅
