Look, as long as this dangerous idiot is in the White House, the rest of the world should just ignore America and certainly not even think about investing in America. If I’m the rest of the world, I’m taking a four year break from America.

why do you guys think markets crash and stocks plummet?
exactly because we have been turning our backs to you, financially, for months now. we're no dummies.
(go check out whether all-world and european-focused investment products had a huge liftoff since trump got elected/inaugurated or not)
Clearly, the rest of the world can’t ignore America—it’s just too powerful and unpredictable. But what we can do is stop relying on it so much, and we Europeans really need to start standing on our own feet.
It’s going to be much longer than a 4 year break. I’m pretty sure any assumed ‘normal’ relationship with Canada and Canadians has been permanently damaged. Your Government’s statement about invading Canada (51st State) is a permanent offence. Not a joke! Not forgivable! Just go away! Don’t come back
I'm glad even people in the US are saying this, because the rest of the world sure as hell is!
The only problem is that it's not going to be just for 4 years. The trust is gone for good! There are Millions of people who back this guy’s nonsense, and they'll keep supporting it long after he’s gone!
Popcorn sales in Europe are going through the roof. Where else can we watch such comedy and ineptitude writ large? We're taking bets on what dumbassery Trump will pull next.
the stock market is celebrating we still have a 10% tariff across the board, a 125% with China & the pause is because trump wants to personally negotiate with each country, while each country is still shocked they have to deal with him again, they see America as a threat & unreliable
At this point, America needs to be made obsolete and irrelevant in the world stage! Well, for at least 2 years, until the midterms, if we still can vote by then!
I’m afraid it will take a generation before Europe will be able to trust the US again. We now know and understand that we’ll always just be one american election away from new threats of annexation, trade wars, NATO treason or human rights violations from the US. This breaks my heart. Stay strong.
It's been a cycle of traitors followed by idiots for decades.
If the dems ever took justice seriously they could break the cycle of traitors using stunts like bribing Netanyahu to make Biden look like an idiot to game elections.
They could also have worked to improve US education for once.
I hope you win your midterms. But my fear is that Trump is the blue print of how to win power in the US. There will be another Trump, another JD, another Project 2025 under a different name in the coming years. You will be one swing state away from all of this all over again. Please fight this.
I think the first time we elected him, we got a pass. But we re-elected him. He won the popular vote. Our credibility is absolutely done for, and I fear our economy is a goner too.
The problem is they know there is a dangerously unstable party that is always one election away from "governing" the country. Why should they ever trust us again? It's not just Trump, it's your whole party and this won't end when he's gone.
I’m a humble host on Airbnb since 2013, and can confirm that since the first Trumpedency international travel has virtually ceased. Few Europeans, Canadians, Australian tourists have visited and zero Chinese who previously were frequent visitors staying over 5 days. International tourists dried up.
With you on this one. I saw over 100 Dylan shows Stateside and visited on many other occasions. Had a private tour of the rotunda at Monticello. Visited Truman is MO, Lincoln in KY, Fats Domino in NO. Love the US. Never going back.
I’m afraid it will take a generation before Europe will be able to trust the US again. We now know and understand that we’ll always just be one american election away from new threats of annexation, trade wars, NATO treason or human rights violations from the US. This breaks my heart. Stay strong.
Ugh. Ya why do so many Americans not even want to pay attention to the disaster that they created? It’s so mind-numbingly ignorant and frustrating. I ask about tariffs affecting some coffee pods and the Americans are laughing at me because I get too political and it’s not Chinese. Like wtffffff
I agree. It’s fucked up though because how can America ever be trusted again when they just flip back and forth every 4 years. It’s exhausting. The world should just move on permanently and it’s up to America to catch up now. 🤷🏽♂️
I had a lovely visit to Palm Springs during a USA road trip from the U.K. Enjoyed Joshua Tree N.P. and taking the cable car to Mount Jacinto. Despite several trips and visits to 17 states, I feel unable to enjoy further trips whilst Trump is in power. I hope normality returns someday.
I have many Canadian neighbors and none of them are selling. I guess that could change before they return in the Fall is that asshole is still assholing
From Orange County & looking for a second home in Miralon (PS), noticed many of the newly purchased homes are for sale. We asked the our agent what was going on and she told us they were Canadians dumping their winter homes & fleeing Palm Springs.
We know it's the windy part of town but really love the development, clubhouse, and really like the people we've already met while looking at homes. We don't golf and instead of a golf course they have beautiful olive trees amongst 7 miles of walking paths.
Do we really think the rest of the world will trust US voters again? I’m not too sure. At a minimum the world will try to adjust to a new reality so they don’t have to rely on us. And that means less growth and security for America. Perhaps permanently.
He won't last four years. Among other things the midterms will decimate his party and Dems will have the votes to impeach and convict, but his standing will have cratered even before that. The bill for his screw ups hasn't come due yet but it will soon.
America is now untrustworthy and with our abdication of leadership other nations will create trade deals with each other. America out in the cold alone
If I were reviewing the data objectively, this would be the advice I offer.
As a US citizen, I am preparing for a truly horrible and rough couple of years. I am just praying for a blue tidal wave in the midterms so a super-majority can get Trump and his cronies out of our government.
China has the upper hand. They have been preparing for a tariff war with the US, and now they’ve aligned more closely with former US allies and enemies as a result of our own misguided tariff threats.
For those of us living outside the US, those images of "aliens" being rounded up and deported without due process will take a generation to fade, not four years.
Some were our fellow citizens, including one innocent from my home nation. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cly67j35y99o
We could say that during the first term when we could blame it on Hillary being a terrible candidate. But this country elected him again because eggs got a little pricey during a bird flu outbreak.
You really think this is just for 4 years? Even if Trump or Vance leaves office, which is a HUGE if, Trump and his cult have done decades worth of damage to our reputation and our soft power in these past couple months. This isn't ending in 4 years, regardless of who's in office next.
Can’t blame any of them for these posted warnings all over social media to their citizens and the world. They need to look away, run far and fast.
We sane Americans want to avoid/leave/boycott our own country and hope for a miracle 😉
Yes! He can afford to do that! But the vast majority of Americans cannot do that. How about trying to influence your party to do the right thing??? Or joining the protests and standing up for the rest of us????
Sadly, the US has become uninvestable.
No sane person will travel there.
NATO/EU can not trust the US any more.
Trade is going to shift away regardless of the 90 day tariff pause.
The US has lost it’s moral compass, and it’s sad to watch in real time.
I’m afraid it will take a generation before Europe will be able to trust the US again. We now know and understand that we’ll always just be one american election away from new threats of annexation, trade wars, NATO treason or human rights violations from the US. This breaks my heart. Stay strong.
We'll be damn lucky if that break is *only* four years. Even if Trump was replaced tomorrow, we've burned enough soft power over the last few weeks that I'm not sure we won't end up relegated to second-tier status regardless.
As long as the GOP uses this dangerous idiot in the White House for achieving the #DarkMAGA goals of the GOP, the rest of the world should just ignore that Republican felon and hold the GOP responsible instead. Example: The GOP started attacking sciences long before the felon took power.
In case you didn’t know the Chinese are selling their US Bonds which they hold a TON. They are going to bring the US economy in the ABYSS because krasnov and his DUMB advisors thinks they can win an economic war with China. Be prepared for HARD times.
I usually travel to the USA (from Canada) very regularly. Not anymore. Also not buying USA products that can easily be replaced with Canadian or other countries’ products. Sad, it’s a beautiful country with some great people. But too risky right now.
I highly doubt that neither he nor the foundation for the rulership system he is building right now will be gone in 4 or 5 or 6 years. It is becoming more and more likely that there will either be no or merely sham elections in 2028.
The problem Joe is that I'm not so sure you'll survive 4 years like this. I'm honestly sorry for you, because I know there's plenty of good people in the US.
That's what is going to happen, Joe. It's already underway. The economic isolation of America will be welcome sight (not that it will ever change the minds of the MAGA cult).
lol. Four years. Try like a permanent break. What’s going to happen in four years ? America is magically not going to be America anymore ?? You all act like this is just some trump issue when it most clearly is not. What a pipe dream. Four years.
If elected Dems don’t IMMEDIATELY come out SWINGING calling this “pause” proof that trump has NO idea what he’s doing & he PANICKED bc we were headed to RECESSION, then they’re as spineless as the R’s & as useless as the media!!! If D’s allow R’s to frame this as a “win for trump”, shame on them!!!
Well,we just cancelled a lease on a distribution warehouse in Houston. We had projected employing 11 people to begin, small potatoes I know but had plans for growth & a further, maybe, 80 employees after a year. Irish company, now plans are kaput. Pity.
If they think it’s forcing you to contribute more or care more, or invest more
or risk more or go more and do more
for this country -
it’s the complete opposite.
And there ain’t a fucking thing they can do about it.
Some people would rather have their soul anyway.
What difference will four years make? The USA will never have free & fair elections under the Trump regime. He’ll never surrender his throne without a fight. He’s already shown that.
The problem bigger than the dangerous orange idiot in the WH is the group of enablers and supporters that continue to breathe life into the destructive, life threatening policies.
U mean the rot that fed them, Russia is still there. Wouldn’t be nice if we had a party to file a petition against them because they’ve been operating in broad daylight instead of being the perfect host!
With the globalization we can't organize a quarantine, even we wish it with this stinking and dangerous authoritarian pandemic US has started and is spreading.
Those of us who didn't vote for trump would like to take a four year break from America as well, but we live here and fear the future will get worse every day.
I don't personally invest in America; but like millions of Australians my superannuation fund does. It may be a bleak year for interest, but who knows in this chaotic environment?
People may make some of it back, but the problem is that 47 and his minions will tank the stock market again, probably at intervals, so they can keep making more money.
Canada has moved on. We cannot wait for sanity to return to America. Y'all are on your own. The rest of the world continues to run status quo. Good luck. Y'all need all of it.
Ya know, if the end goal is purging the world of this toxic waste that calls itself a presidency, I am willing to suffer through that.
Better if the world found a way to intervene and help us 86 47, but I know there are very strict requirements for that. It sure would save us all a lot of suffering
It should be longer than 4 years. America needs to fix Citizens United, illiteracy, and FOX. Without that, bare minimum, nobody should do business with American again. Ever. B/c MAGA is always only 1 election away. Simply put, the USA cannot be trusted. At all.
I am an American citizen n can’t stand this country under Trump. Everyone should ignore us until we get a president with a brain n respect for the constitution
I was watching an interview where the stock broker was highly recommending that Americans make sure they are diversified in stocks outside the US which would a safer harbor.
Trump *will* be made to leave, one way or another, and no one’s going to have the will to do anything other than hyperventilate online. He shot his foot off with this tariff nonsense. Too many people can’t unsee what a braindead moron he is. He screwed with the one true god of America: money.
I dunno, Joe. Starting wars is a great way to boost the domestic manufacturing economy.They seem eager to crash the economy, cash out and start a war with your pick from a list of countries
Stupid enablers like Heiny the Nazi is what is hurting our country so badly. Think about. It's because of Orange dumb sh**s like Heiny. Not President Biden as pResident Trumpler would have us believe. 🖕x 45/47

The above post captures that.
The only healthy progress forward is uniting under the banner of sustainable parity for all life. Not only some humans.
Anything less is exploitative, abusive, and uncivilized.

I would reserve my laughter
Trump is a cancer.
We escaped the psycho killer house at the end of the movie and then went BACK INTO THE HOUSE like “hey what’s the worst that can happen?”
If they change tariff policy every time he does, they are just putting themselves on his leash.
If the dems ever took justice seriously they could break the cycle of traitors using stunts like bribing Netanyahu to make Biden look like an idiot to game elections.
They could also have worked to improve US education for once.
There are legit grievances on both sides and I look forward to an administration we can talk with like adults.
He is an untrustworthy fool.

We are breaking up.
Maybe we can work it out.
I want a 90 day pause.
We cool now?

Just look to the meetings held by China.
The world can ignore America fairly safely.

Avoid.
Trump’s clown show is a disaster.
No wonder. He’s a bad ringmaster.
Big tent is gone. There’s a scary bear.
The elephant is shitting everywhere!
If we don’t fix the system which allowed Trump to do this, why would anyone ever trust America again?
Don’t pause their counter-tariffs. Say, “fuck to you. You made this shit sandwich and you can eat it.”
The felon needs to go.

The amount of information getting glossed over by America is mind boggling, but understandable.
Your media is letting you down also, obvious from the outside. Some deals 47 is announcing in the works are other countries deals.
Better if the world found a way to intervene and help us 86 47, but I know there are very strict requirements for that. It sure would save us all a lot of suffering
Because America IS STILL WORTH FIGHTING FOR
Dammit
