Die nächsten Wahlen werden entscheiden in welche Richtung Europa trifftet.
In Deutschland ist die neue Koalition nicht sehr stabil. Die nächste Regierung sieht wahrscheinlich ganz anders aus, befürchte ich🫣.
All he has succeeded in doing is hardening the world AGAINST the USA. The world will become independent of our goods and services.
Your post made me take a look back to 2016- and their reporting- NYT How Donald Trump Bankrupted His Atlantic City Casinos, but Still Earned Millions.
Same old pillaging playbook only on a much larger scale.
Or any other number of things.
The Time Machine to 1950 is also proving elusive.
Said a old failed gameshow hostess once.
Trump
will swallow
his pride &
ask Bill Clinton, or
Barack Obama, or
Joe Biden
how to run
the USA
the right way.
And even if America were to get rid of MAGA this year, it would take at least a decade (and lots of international support) to recover.
Will the rest of us work to keep up?

He thinks he's always right, and when everything crashes, he simply declares bankruptcy, and moves on, learning nothing.
But the US continues to buy pharmaceuticals, cloths from China, indeed has made iPhones & electronics exempt
China also does not seem eager to negotiate ANY resolution
So you may well ask who’s winning?
Makes sense?!
*China has some advantages in a head-to-head economic matchup with the US, but America has a secret weapon: its friends. If the US were to join forces with its traditional allies in Europe, North America, and East Asia*
He assumes the US still has friends
Fake Progressives are one of main reasons for poverty in our country and globally because they do not have the common sense reasoning skills a ten year old should have. The more you attack wealth creation the less wealth that gets created.
If you are going to punish people for
earning over X amount each year, sane people spend lot less time working - creating jobs, inventing, thinking of ways to reduce global warming. etc.
If you are going to punish people for having over X amount of wealth, people will care less about global warming, etc.
Two of main reasons for huge difference in wealth between richest billionaires and the rest of population is Bayh Dole Act not being enforced and intellectual property theft
I discussed my support in 2002 for Bayh Dole Act to reduce prescription drug

prices, prices of many technologies, and reduce significantly difference between richest people and poorest people.
Federal government over many decades has spent great deal of money on research - drugs, computer hardware, computer software, other technologies, etc.
I do not think the Bayh Dole Act has ever been enforced dealing with prescription drugs.
The fortunes of Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Microsoft, and Apple are almost entirely based on intellectual property theft from Xerox. Many people who work for business publications keep forgetting that
Xerox had to worry about its survival because Federal government engaged in what I consider to be criminal and not constitutional activities dealing with forcing Xerox to allow companies from Japan to license its technologies.
