Trump’s "America First" posturing has left America last in global influence. While he undermines alliances, China, BRICS, and even our allies are building new trade systems, reducing reliance on the dollar, and bypassing U.S. leadership. We’re watching global power slip away, by design.
I'm European. A very popular topic to discuss amongst friends here is how to avoid American products.
"Oh, so Colgate is American, thanks I didn't know that"
At this point we in Missouri have been going down the project 2025 train for a while, I will take anyone that could get us in a better place, progressives need to dumb down their message, I don’t think boomers get it
We have run out of trading partners. It's not even a question of going to. The ones we still think we have are already making alliances with the ones who have left. Jesus Christ people get up to date
When it has all gone to shit, when nothing works bc there are no parts to fix it or people with the skills to do so, will there be anyone in a position of power with enough strength to say to the world, "Help. We fucked up. Can we do a reset?"
I’ve been saying from day one he’s trying to isolate us. He thinks he can put this big old shield over top of all of our whole country because he’s stupid as fuck and it can’t be done and take away all our allies so we are isolated and they can come after us then!
Yes dear Americans, it’s unbelievable that 51% of voting America voted on an dictator!
In my 65 years of living I have never dreamed that this was possible!, but here we are,
“It is”.
(My god)
He is. People are going to end up doing more business with China and then he will be bitching on about that.
His delusion is that we all need the US and they dont need anybody else. Pure brainwashing. The US got rich and influential through global trade but now thats going to die.
They will be sorry when Trump finds out. He has already cautioned Europe and Canada that any collaborations to mitigate impact of US tariffs will result in even higher US tariffs.
America first puts us in the axis of evil with Russia, Iran and North Korea. Is that really what Americans want to trade their comfort and security for.
Good. Americans are the scum of the Earth, and you deserve to be a pariah state. Trade with Russia, Saudi Arabia, and Israel since you love them so much. The rest of us want nothing to do with you. Elbows Up, bitch...
This unholy woman needs you to help her find her end!! This woman isn’t entitled to refer to herself as a pastor, spiritual advisor, mother or child of god. This is a hatful human who deserves the death penalty for her grift, lies, misinformation and abuse of power and authority. #end her
Reading her stuff gave me literal chills, not the good kind. And it will take more than “some time” to overcome this debacle. There’s not a country around that will have anything to do with us, except Russia. 🤦🏻♀️ And Trump said on TV tonight that he’s seeking a 3rd term. 🙅🏻♀️
And Trump thinks that's good because lack of competition will allow American companies to flourish. It's as if he has no idea that farmers and manufacturers depend on international sales to make money.
Great, now two of our allies in the region are joining a trade agreement with China. WAY TO GO TRUMP, you are totally ruining the US reputation across the world and making us weaker in doing so. Read your history Donnie, isolationism doesn't work, never has.
Trump has a rare medical condition called
"Ate Up by Dumbass".
There's no known cure but RFKook is working on it.
He thinks Roach spray might work. Or Rat poison.

The US is like a battered wife with Trump as the husband isolating her and he beats her to death. ☠️
If “we the people” do not rise, America will die by late Summer or early fall 2025.
Absolutely, no point putting your plant in there and gaining no advantage.
As for Trump’s I’m up for a third term there are ways, that’s very true in the event of a war, and a country on its knees will be ripe for war. Seriously, former allies had better be on their guard and be prepared.
I wonder how many politicians, military leaders, diplomats & historians think it's a great idea for China to take the lead in world trade with Japan and South Korea. I bet former Secretary of State Colin Powell & Senator John McCain are rolling in their graves. Our Country is in critical condition🆘🇺🇸
Of course he is. He knows the strength of the American war machine and as the insecure bully and wimp that he is, what’s to use the power to beat someone up!
Trump is uniting the world against US ---> the world needs to make Trump as useless on the world stage as he is in everything he does. Kick him where it hurts his narcissism the most, obliterate his ego.
Biden had surpassed China and other countries related to the economy. The current Shithole president came to destroy America and soon will be among the shithole countries he used to relate to.
Why do they seem hell bent on returning to pre depression America? Seriously, I know it’s intentional, but I’m not seeing why. Pre…every protection except for white males?
Project 2025 & Peter Thiel combine to this truly dystopian world where women have absolutely no rights, as well as any minority. They want to do away with democracy, declare martial law, and rule with this ultra Christian nationalist tech state where only the elite boys get to rule. Like Elon, Zuck
It sounds too much like a bad movie to be true but read up on Thiel. Gay man who funded JDs senate run and then he and Elon got Grump to take him on as VP, I’m sure some big donation too. Thiel turned ultra Conservative Christian and had a weird idea of combining the two with his tech Lords to rule
In Trump’s 1st term his tariffs on China resulted in them turning to Brazil for soybeans & Trump ended up paying billions $$ in subsidies to US farmers for the loss of market for US soybeans. This time around his tariffs are going to inflict even more damage across all sectors & isolate the US.
Never mind trading partners...
The US is currently like ebola virus to anyone with a brain.
You are going to have a depression rather than a recession.
Call it a learning event
Hi Rick, Following.
Crashing US trade is not what Presidents do, but it is what an agent of Moscow would do. Dictator Putin has to be loving this chaos and disruption. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsIntuxmXf0
We are going to run out of people and countries that will buy our treasury bonds and force our country into insolvency. It's worse than people realize.
Yeah, but the expertise to produce everything, in America, is resting in old age homes...it will be a generation building independence while the world makes other arrangements...?
Liars lie. It’s what they do. Why do we expect the truth from the compulsive and continual liar Donald Trump or from the liars he appointed to his cabinet?
How in the hell, can one man change the reflection of America’s in the eyes of the people around the world? We were the land of opportunity, the land of freedom, the land of the constitution! Now we are the land of an oppressive totalitarian government.
Do you know what stage of crazy it has to be right now for China and South Korea to set aside decades of hostility to work together with Japan to counter US tariffs?
Once alternative routes and supply chains are found, businesses are unlikely to come back.

Remember, Trump campaigned saying we were weak, economically insecure while the world mocked us. Under Trump, as the world perceive us as a clown car is isolating us, making us less safe while spiraling the US and the world in a trade war because of his historically debunked tariffs.
As I have already said elsewhere:
Well done, US of Absurdistan. You are becoming an unrivaled expert in shooting yourself in the foot. All the rest of us are kept busy dodging the ricochets. Keep this up and everyone else will start helping you aim, just to make sure you don't miss.
It looks like he
wants to tank the economy and make the dollar worthless. Ruin everything that's working, break unions and get rid of all oversight. Spread diseases, starve the poor and kill the elderly. Then pick up the pieces of all the bankruptcies for pennies on the dollar.
The problem with that is it won't go like Germany or Russia... it'll go like Zimbabwe. Their money is in stocks, ALL their worth is in stocks.
There will be no buying things for "pennies on the dollar" when money is worth nothing, because ALL OUR STOCKS ARE BASED ON USD. They will be worthless.
THIS!!! China will go along with this tri-partite agreement just to get a jump on the west. STG we’re all going to be speaking mandarin. I’ve already got a start on that and Japanese.
Please read up on his trips to Russia, marriage to Ivana, a Czech whose father was a Russian asset, rumored that Trump was easy to handle by flattery. They targeted many business men to get on the inside of the US
For Pete’s sake, Hegseth has a Russian email.
Paul Manafort?
Russian oligarchs !
There has been some serious and in depth investigation on this which suggest it is far from being a wild conspiracy. Perhaps however the final paragraph in this article from the Byline Times best sums it up…
Only too late will the USA realise that they cannot exist in isolation and they can’t manufacture everything. Then the great, decades long decline really starts.
Yup. 70% tariff on Australian beef? Yeah, we’ll just sell to China (probably), thx.
We don’t have to sell to the US. Nobody has to sell anything to the US.
That’s what the supposed best businessman ever doesn’t understand.
People in this country are going to learn the word sacrifice. This is what happens when you elect someone who does not give one damn bit about you only about himself.
I’d go to that party but China is Canada’s 2nd largest trade partner…

He isnt making America great again... or putting america first... he is putting America in jeopardy by isolating us. American alone.

contributions if demand collapses?
Who knew ?!?!?

Everything the US does currently, sets the stage for not only an imminent recession in three months, but a potential new great depression.

The rest are not stable enough to swap to.
So Crypto will die too if the stocks crash.
The era of Robber Barons isn't coming back no matter how much they want it.
Next, watch for countries to stop using the U.S. Dollar as their standard trading currency, or buying U.S. bonds.

Trump has to be the poorest strategist that ever lived. Remember, he did bankrupt 5 or 6 companies.

It also says this is the first time they have had dialogue in 5 years….. hmmm that’s an interesting timeline .
