Trump is successfully bullying a giant slice of the American people....why wouldn't he think he can do it to the rest of the world as well???? Hopefully, the world (and particularly Europe) will aggressively push back.
i am not going to lie, i do see the fact that these three countries seem to having an go at mending bridges at least in an economical sense as a good thing
Only history will tell us what these new alliances will bring. In Canada we are exited about new trading partners and re development of our own resources. Every one is jumping on the band wagon of our new PM and the election April 21.
We are sad for our American cousins who are loosing so much in all aspect of their lives. For what ever reason President Trump and Elon Musk are hell bent on destruction of what you have now, presumably to line their own pockets and appease Putin.
There was a time in American history when an alignment with Russia meant you were a communist. Now this alignment is applauded by Republicans. What has happened to our country?
"a really bad history with each other" in the same sense as standing outside Fenway in Yankees gear the afternoon before a home game and yelling 'SOX SUCK' is an unwise activity for your Boston vacation.
Uh ... read what the Japanse people did during the second world war in China , and Korea and Japan also have some serious bad history wich each other ...
Donald, I'm impressed. You got China and South Korea to talk to Japan. Next, I expect Canada, Mexico, Denmark to form a coalition with Iran. NO, NO..........you're just that good.
Sadly..if he tanks the economy..that’s still not as bad as it can get. The sociopath threatening to “take” over sovereign nations is going to land us in a war with our allies. It’s bleak.
I suspect it won't take much more of Trumlethinskin's BS to convince the Canadian government that there isn't that much reason to keep up the tariffs, on Chinese goods, that were put in place at the request of the US.
Our former allies will not stand by us or help us and I don't blame them at all. Trump has let his ego trip take over and he thinks everything he does is miraculous. Unfortunately, everything turns into 💩.
America has earned having the rest of the world turn on them. You can only betray your friends and allies for so long before they accept the new reality that America is their enemy.
I think Biden came in after the first time and nicely cleaned up Trump’s SHIT from ALL over the world…
This time, though… they won’t warm up so quickly- and it will be bc of the American people… the ones that voted for and sucked his ass no matter what harm he caused anyone…
I was thinking there were rules since they were not a NATO nation... his hands were somewhat tied. I also thought the other NATO countries were held back d/t those same rules? Am I wrong here?
Draft dodger x5 russian appeaser STOLE classified docs. Archives asked for return over a year. Signalgate is revelation how DT disrespects natl. security, our military troops. Pilots, sailors U.S.S. Truman are pissed. Zero confidence, trust hothead Hegseth, sloppy Walz. We are NOT suckers & losers
Like, Godzilla could for real stomp Tokyo to rubble and I am pretty sure China and South Korea's response would be essentially "Thoughts and prayers 💔🙏" sooooo yeah. We're so boned.
Welcome to the new world trade order, the US gets left out of trade agreements. Anyone else paying attention to all the countries boycotting US made products? They will soon end trade due to not being able to sell those goods.
No kidding. China and S. Korea were both invaded by Japan during WWII. Japan was brutal and their victims haven’t forgotten. Korea’s hatred of Japan is especially intense.
Those are three BIG economies right there. But Trump and Fox won't figure it out that he's a colossal loser, with the business sense of RFKjr's brain worm.
AMERICA GOT SET UP FOR THE KILL!!!! TRUMP AND HIS MAGA CULT OF STUPID IMBECILES WERE COMPLETELY PLAYED AND EVERY AMERICAN IS GOING TO PAY FOR IT LITERALLY!!!! CHECKMATE PUTIN!!!!! STUPID FUCKING REPUBLICAN GREEDY MORONS 🤮🤮🤮🤮
Anyone familiar with Project 2025 knows that THIS is the point, yes? Burn the house down and make all the residents hostages to your own plan for dictatorship…it’s very simple. 😒
It might be, if we come out of this with a much better country - no money in our politics and no professional politicians. We believed in our own exceptionalism. Thought we were smarter than we were and could do pretty much what we wanted. I think we are a little more humble and contrite. We should
2. make a much better partner. Who knows we might rely on 'soft power' more. Talk instead of fight. As we put the country back together, we might find better ways to do things - a new Constitution. No Senate, term limits, standards for Representatives, no parties, and recall even for the President.
The flaw in a democracy is that too many people are complacent. Leave the decision-making up to others. Like pre war Germany, they won't know what they lost till it is too late.
1. There are 25-35% of us who want somebody else to make decisions, they want a king. About the same proportion don't want a king or any other ruler. That leaves 40-50% who want to be left alone. You leave them be, and they won't participate. Make life difficult and they will let you know (2020).
2. Have nothing for them and they will stay away (2016 & 2024). For them, it is tweedledee and tweedledum. If we get to 2028, it will be another 2020, only worse. Personally, I don't expect us to make it to 2026 in our present form. BTW these proportions have held since the Revolution.
Nations are NOT kowtowing as trump expected, they are uniting. They are looking for trade partners elsewhere. When they change, it will be hard going back to trade with us. He fails to understand; our greatest strength is in our alliances; economically, militarily, diplomatically.
Also they have established trade agreements among them to reduce dependency on US market. It is a dumb strategy to isolate our allies Japan and S Korea.
This is one of those stories that give you a
barometer on how engaged people are with history and world politics when you see how floored, or not, they are after hearing it.
1. Trump and the Republican Party are tearing the world apart.
2. He has no logical plans to build anything. It's not about governing; It's all about obtaining additional wealth for himself and his millionaire/billionaire/lobbyist/Wall Street Hedge fund executives on his cabinet.
Its so interesting. Trumps universally repugnant personality is apparently not visible to the american people. It is completely unbelievable that 82% of GOP voters actually thinks the Orange Gobshite is doing a good job. Jawdroppingly mindblowing, in fact!
Every country has a minority of extreme right wing fools.
Normally led by rich sociopaths who believe in nothing but use the masses to further enrich themselves, and ill educated supporters who have so little of worth in their lives that their ‘patriotism’ is all they have.
It's not invisible to ALL Americans. Just the ones that have had cult indoctrination tactics used on them by Fox News. I'd swear if I didn't know any better they have some kind of hypnosis device that enthralls viewers when I'm not looking. Like some shit out of a cartoon...
You know it's a bad day for US foreign policy when China, Korea, and Japan are in agreement. Their combined economic footprint is Godzilla on steroids.
Since all countries have been threatened, we non-Americans are all figuring out how to be better off, without any US exports (ouch on you all) of goods and services. We have "cards" we can play, trading with each other and can choose to not play "cards" at all with the US.
When you start a business, you quickly realize that you want to focus on high value/margin tasks and this applies to home-shoring jobs too. Blanket tariffs are bringing low(er) value jobs to the USA. Middle class jobs will on average pay less relative to the cost of living. Go Trump! /s
💯! With US unemployment near 4%, this is not a problem of employment (yet!). Agree the low paying jobs might come home- such a win!! Bottom line: it is a pure sales tax grab by the 1% on the 99% that can't fudge their taxes or change their consumption! Go Trump! /s
USA is being diminished every day by T and his idiot vision with tariffs; taking the 50’s mfg and bringing back. Thing is, we didnt have tech’y like we do today; a game changer. Besides, his “vision” changes; up Mfg, stop fentenal, balance trade, illegal immigration, balance the budget. Which is it

I think this is more about the "right" not giving a drying duck about anything.
Just, set aside...
Yeah, that's good news...
And these other countries will say “Fuck Off - we DON’T need you”. And they won’t- we will be left behind
and also the left wing writers,game developers,actors and artists but admitelly that is kinda of becuase of selfish reasons
This time, though… they won’t warm up so quickly- and it will be bc of the American people… the ones that voted for and sucked his ass no matter what harm he caused anyone…
People are eating it up.
They're like zombies and arguing feels screaming into the void.
They don't know things, they believe them, so facts won't sway them. 🤦🏼♀️
Thanks for keeping us informed Captain. Much nerd love.
Ooph.
I’m sure Trump will expect a Nobel Prize for “bringing economic consensus to Oceana”.
i feared they'd demand taiwan, but this is far more immediately profitable for them

3. SOS-USA!
This is approval ratings of the US in general. Imagine what it would look like if it solely about Trumps performance? 🤪

...most Japanese automakers are based in Red States directly employing around 100K people directly.
Hundreds of thousands indirectly, so what would be the impact in OH, TX and AL if they decided to shut shop?

That sucks for us.
