Until this president is gone, the United States is not safe, it is not stable, it is not worthy of consideration. Visiting is out of the question. America we can’t safely be into you, so we won’t be into you at all, not till your madman is gone. Bye.

rnr1.bsky.social•3 days ago

I would change that from "this president is gone" to "the republican party is gone" because all that's left of it are the fellatio obsessed billionaire servant boys

Trump’s manufactured fiasco.

Gee, who could have predicted this— from an epically corrupt, dystopian conman.

Trump isn’t concerned about consequences as he has never had to suffer any.

Buckle-up for more chaos and destruction because Donnie Dark relishes the pain he causes.

#FelonTrump

errepi.bsky.social•4 days ago

The only consistent thing in tariffs is that Trump is a moron and Congress is full of accomplices and cowards

We can’t expect our neighbors ie trading partners to trust us when we can’t trust anything that “dear leader” says. It’s a scary time. Never thought I’d be glad to be older rather than a young person starting their career.

I'm way past worrying about our standing in the world. I'm convinced we won't be a free society a year or two from now. We're descending into an oppressive dictatorship.

Nobody in Europe rated Trump.
Vance screwed what Trust was left.
Hegseth Signal leak told everyone they are unserious.
Trump -Putin tells us Trump is selling out Europe.
Tariffs lunacy tells us the Trump team is economically illiterate.
Tariff aggression was a lesson in hubris.
NATO was undermined.

It might - but not in my lifetime. There has been a quantum shift amongst ordinary Canadians in the way we view not only the American leadership, but it's sycophantic representatives. Americans should ask themselves why are their representatives more afraid of their leader then their electorate.

I think they would more quickly if they did an immediate about face. It would say to the world that we take care of our problems and value our allies a lot more than waiting 4 yrs until he is out. Even a midterm slaughter doesn't do it. We need him gone to get back any respectability.

fabartist.bsky.social•3 days ago

There's tariffs w/countries that the US has a surplus with, countries with few people. The only reason Canada has a surplus with the US is because it has an insatiable appetite for oil & gas. The only reason Madagascar has a surplus with the US is because vanilla beans don't grow anywhere else. 🤔

USA will recover… once the 🍊 Convicted Felon is dead.
Not before.

Then the USA needs to “clean house”.

bewildered37.bsky.social•4 days ago

Trump is either a narcissistic megalomaniac with fantasies of world domination, or a pretentious schoolyard bully—all bluster. In either case, he has destroyed our relationship with allies and encouraged America’s enemies. He must be impeached, prosecuted, convicted, and thrown into prison.

thebeardedpug.bsky.social•3 days ago

Scott Bessent told reporters after the reversal, “This was his strategy all along.”

And if you believe that, I have a degree from Trump University that I’d love to sell you.

This quote, all wrong... It WAS his strategy. Look at all the market manipulation and insider trading as proof.

globalsecuritysme.bsky.social•3 days ago

There are still 10% tariffs on everything imported. It is impossible for one country to produce everything it need. Real wages are going down and rents are going up double digits due to deregulation.

ddtravels.bsky.social•4 days ago

The reason Trump called off the tariffs is because investors were taking their money out of the equities markets and out of U.S. securities but NOT putting it back into U.S. Treasuries. The world and the investment community have lost faith in the U.S. and the U.S. dollar

etherialspirit.bsky.social•4 days ago

There is a consistency. It's called follow the despot's ego. Every decision, without question, has been geared towards inflating his own ego. Fallout is never considered. People are never considered. It's simply "Look at me. I have power. Watch what I'll do with it." That's the playbook.

America's word can no longer be trusted. Trump and Republicans have destroyed it.

iacovos.bsky.social•3 days ago

The US elected as president not once but twice a criminal rapist racist fascist who wants to be an absolute dictator but is an absolute delusional moron. How is the US going to easily recover from that fact alone, let alone the catastrophic indiocies and inhumanities perpetrated by said moron?

nesta242.bsky.social•3 days ago

Depends who you ask, if you ask anyone but an American the answer is yes. Ask an American and the answer is totally different. Do you know the US ranks 30th in education.

The majority got Trump elected. Not only once, but twice.

joanne2000.bsky.social•3 days ago

The majority didn’t vote. That covers the stupid part.

globalsecuritysme.bsky.social•3 days ago

It was a plurality. For some reason 30% of the electorate didn’t turn out. We need compulsory voting with exceptions for disabilities. If you’re going to live here, you need to participate in our democratic processes.

cosmopolitan23.bsky.social•3 days ago

I’d say a majority of Americans, less than 90 days in to the walking catastrophe that is the Trump *administration* see this man as a malevolent buffoon. And yes, Putin has some sort of leverage, be it PP tapes with Moscow hookers or financial blackmail, no one is sure, but it’s something.

I certainly agree. Those buffoons in this administration have done a great harm

pyotryllych.bsky.social•4 days ago

And also, the Republican Party has lost a lot of credibility in the world. Don’t think they can recover from this one as well. Every president representing the US and on top of that being a member of the Republican Party would not be taken seriously as these guys have set a precedent.

all part of the PLAN: 1. Put all in a state of confusion/trauma/ pain (project 25 & Putin) & 2. Continue w/the planned goal of identifying core weaknesses of U.S. infrastructure (Putin). Now that we know this: A. Who shall record our continued findings for debriefing? & B. what shall we do next?

cosmopolitan23.bsky.social•3 days ago

Could be first. He came this close to wrecking the world economy and we’re not out of the woods yet. First term was horrible, but this is worse. He’s still a complete moron now surrounded by sycophants and unqualified idiots ( e.g. SecDef Pete Hegspeth or RFK Jr.)
