Fascism isn't conducive to consumerism.

Losing 'some confidence'?
Zero confidence more likely.

canlug.bsky.social•1 day ago

The US is a failed state. It’s time for all sane nations to drop the US dollar for international trading and liquidate all US treasury bonds. A robust retaliatory measure to combat the destabilizing trump regime. Get in early! The US dollar will depreciate exponentially once the divestment starts.😎

Aren’t a lot of bonds held by China? Makes you wonder about the wisdom of starting a trade war with them.

dgk66.bsky.social•22 hours ago

They’re already bleeding you out. The US is on life support, China has the power button. Fascism is Trumps only option

And in other news, with the collapse of the US economy, Greenland has put in an offer to buy the USA.

*some* of their confidence 😂

revenge-of-ken-oh.bsky.social•1 day ago

Maybe they will finally realise that, far from being the victims, their current position as global leaders is a situation that the rest of the world allows and can also revoke

Wouldn’t hold my breath though

It’s completely unsurprising that global investors are losing confidence in America.

Can we start filing this under, no s**t, sherlock, now?

peterdavieson.bsky.social•1 day ago

Nobody will have any faith in the US .. that's the whole idea.

francisnorman.bsky.social•1 day ago

Can’t think what that would be the case… the administration has been so stable and welcoming to their allies so far🤷🏻‍♂️

skypolice.bsky.social•23 hours ago

I wonder why 🤔

Caused by the Trashy Runt Under Mental Pressure.

boatdesigner.bsky.social•1 day ago

My understanding, and I can only say that it is one account of things is that it was orchestrated by Carney, who persuaded Japan and EU to slowly sell bonds as a way of putting pressure on the US to drop tariffs.

thackwallop.bsky.social•1 day ago

Canada is being threatened by the USA, so you can hardly blame them for taking preemptive actions.

boatdesigner.bsky.social•23 hours ago

Carney is a bright guy. He has Trump by the short and curlies. The sales are slow because they are a reminder. Trump will cease and desist on all tariffs to countries that have lots of US bonds, I reckon.

spanglish51.bsky.social•1 day ago

Presumably they’re not stupid & Trump has proven that nothing is going to change . We aren’t suddenly going to see sensible & stable for at least 4 plus years.
The investment markets are terrified of instability ☹️

dualraconteur.bsky.social•1 day ago

Confidence in America has changed for good. Even if they get rid of maga the feeling that at any moment they can come back into power is enough for most democratic countries to lose all trust in the USA from here forward.

parisdaguerre.bsky.social•1 day ago

Anyone sentient will avoid investing in the US while it is led by a reality TV showman with the attention span a gnat would laugh at.

zbris.bsky.social•1 day ago

You can’t invest in a country you can’t visit safely.

gobdoctor.bsky.social•1 day ago

I think we’ve all lost confidence. I will never travel to the US whilst the Mango Mussolini is in charge.

kingy1234.bsky.social•1 day ago

Trump is an idiot. What’s mind boggling is how many people are supporting the idiot 😳

heliant.bsky.social•1 day ago

You’re putting it very mildly Peter. As a US citizen, I hope they bring the felon to his knees.

agood1.bsky.social•1 day ago

Ok this has got to the stage where they need another world stage diversion. I am calling strikes on Iran within 24hrs.

Some good news for a change.
🖕 to trump

paulofarmer.bsky.social•1 day ago

Seems a very sensible thing for other countries to do. Trump can't be trusted and the US is about to lose its global financial leadership so dump the bonds whilst you can.

rantover.bsky.social•1 day ago

America is in the hands of a criminal syndicate.

lennybakes.bsky.social•1 day ago

The stable genius, the financial deal making wizard, strikes again.

sucampbell.bsky.social•1 day ago

I'm not surprised it's run by a gangster.

almunro.bsky.social•1 day ago

It would be of greater concern if global investors WEREN'T losing some of their long-standing confidence in America.

suzannedspain.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Well, of course they're losing faith in a country led by an unstable, heartless, greedy person!

jepharry.bsky.social•1 day ago

If you believe in your strength and hence act reasonably towards other countries, you gain their confidence. But if you draw oxygen from an endless litany of imagined failures and slights to justify reckless bullying, you don't.

mandylily.bsky.social•22 hours ago

And who wouldn’t?!

jschm2681.bsky.social•1 day ago

Trump made us an enemy of the world.

msmoona.bsky.social•1 day ago

Not really. He's just made it easier and sped it up. 70+ years of America first policy has hurt the rest of the world with millions paying a high price- especially in middle east. It's finally caught up with US

wilm74.bsky.social•1 day ago

I can’t see any other nation trusting them again whilst Trump is in power and depending upon who replaces him, maybe longer.

st3ve99.bsky.social•1 day ago

All of their confidence must be lost; I know mine is. Zero confidence in Trump and his administration. MAGA - Making America Go Away!

battlscarredbear.bsky.social•1 day ago

The rest of the world has competed, qualified people in charge of their economies and governments. That’s the difference and everyone can see what’s coming to America, except republicans

Not as if Trump won't keep bumping the stock market to shake every last dollar out anyone not despicable-rich.

How much longer can it go on for until he's humped the corpse of anyone not rich into the ground?

samanthajt.bsky.social•23 hours ago

Can't wait for the country to go bankrupt and everything goes to shit, will serve people right for voting for Trump.
