‘Trump himself is certainly to blame. Yet many of the people I have spoken with lay blame at the feet not of the president, but of the legislature, which refuses to assert itself as a co-equal branch of government.’ #TrumpRecession #TrumpTaxScam #corruption

Off the cuff remark.
Most of what Americans think is American. Was actually discovered by Europeans..
Except Bluetooth. American/European Hollywood actress Hedy Lamar. Dismissed by the navy 1943. They did not see the Mathematician.

If the USA were to be fully closed to trade in 2025, within a year, nearly 41% of US trading partners would have fully recovered from lost US exports, & by 2029, 100 out of 144 trading partners wld have recovered the entirety of their loss of US sales because of expected growth in other economies."

"This will be a painful process. Firms will go out of business, workers will lose their jobs, and the world will be poorer for it. But it can move on without us".

Trump wanted a New World Order and he's going to get one, one much less dependent on the USA for anything at all.

professler.bsky.social•1 day ago

True...but the next President can rebuild the White House.

radarnick.bsky.social•1 day ago

Therein lies the long term damage of Trump being elected. In no way was he ever qualified to manage any economy and the world will be very hesitant to trust America again. Supply chains will move to other countries and ask the soybean farmers how that worked out for them in Trumps first term.

curioushominid.bsky.social•1 day ago

There will be a 48th president?

How disturbing is it that this was my first question as well?

martinneu.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yes, there will. The question is whether 48 has emerged from free and fair elections or whether another fascist will be enthroned after Trump's biological expiry date due to a "state of national security emergency".

Will probably be presidents 48 thru 55 or so. We seem to be in a continuous cycle of Republicans destroy, Democrats rebuild, etc., etc., etc.

Canada can never fully trust America again.

A very different Canada, with very different goals, will be facing America for the next 100 years.

canadianbeagle.bsky.social•1 day ago

When Biden went to restore international relations saying "America is Back", the response was "For how long". America proved ot can't be trusted or supported. Every nation is moving to bypass the US in all matters. Those relationships are why US was successfull, a world leader, a super power.

raye-gunn.bsky.social•1 day ago

Exactly. even if Trump is overthrown tomorrow and a nice safe Democrat elected, at this point we can't trust the US populace to not elect another wannabe fascist dictator next time. I get many countries face a surge in the far right, but when it's the US, it's a bigger problem for everyone else

generationalize.bsky.social•1 day ago

“President Trump bankrupted the country“ seemed hyperbolic originally - I mean, it WAS a cartoon punchline- and even after his first term, since with a Democratic Congress the COVID economy was … okay.

But at this rate, he may actually manage to wreck it. Before midterms, even.

il-forno.bsky.social•1 day ago

There is not coming back from a nation of psychos and complicit individuals that they don’t care to vote or participate. The message is clear. Fascism is here to stay, not only in the MAGA core, but in the soul of middle America and beyond.

louisamiller.bsky.social•1 day ago

Um hi - we are done electing presidents. Trump and co have enough in place NOW - and who knows what will transpire in the coming years - that we will not ever have a free and fair election. We are done and the sooner everyone knows that then maybe we will fight harder!!!

Democrats don't seem to ever undo any horrible thing that Republicans put in place.

Just like his baldness is showing, so is his ineptitude. His come-over is no longer working. Neither is his bullying bluster.

Yep. Anyone who understands economics understands this. Unfortunately, the Atlantic is preaching to a smaller and smaller choir. Half of my Facebook feed is people courageously proclaiming their support for removing Flouride from water.

“This time, there’s no coming back from this quickly…won’t be able to easily rebuild…US’ promises, treaties, agreements…its basic rationality has evaporated in just weeks.” Indeed, the rest of the world’s new alliances are being forged w/o the US. And it all happened in less than 90 days.🤦🏻‍♀️

Thanks to MAGAts and lazy Democrats who didn’t show up for Kamala. The financial course of America is forever diminished. We will all pay for this for the rest of our lives.

londonreed.bsky.social•23 hours ago

Thanks to muskrat for rigging the election. Do you remember trump saying we don’t need to worry about votes anymore. He said this after a series of meetings with musk prior to November 5, 2024.

blue-dot-okc.bsky.social•18 hours ago

I do recall, and was very alarmed at the time. But Kamala’s people coming out after the vote saying they were not surprised, and internal polling showed a likely loss due to weak support, made me more inclined to accept the loss and that America is more awful than I had believed.

douhan.bsky.social•23 hours ago

He said multiple times like as far back as January 24.

pac26.bsky.social•1 day ago

Trump set the U.S.A way back. Even if the next President does a fantastic job getting things headed in the right direction, other countries will still be worried that the next President could be another MAGA ahole. Trump needs to be impeached and CONVICTED before his 4 years are up!

This man is a one trick pony. After screwing over lender after lender in his failed business schemes, most reputable firms would no longer take the bait. (which led him to Moscow)

Leaving the TPP was the first idea of what this will be like. We could have been buying Taiwanese micro-chips during The Pandemic, but Trump had us standing out in the cold without a pipeline for micro-chips for cars, ect.

Now imagine that times, well, everything.
