The rest of the world seems to be moving on with their lives and leaving the crazy country with the psychopath behind

ancaib.bsky.social•3 days ago

Higher costs, disrupted supply chains, and economic uncertainty. And all of this for what purpose?!

halfcourtshot.bsky.social•3 days ago

Trumps ego and MAGAers stupidity. But the same people who were ready to hang Biden because their grand fuck slam breakfast cost a bit higher, are fine with ruining 🇺🇸 forever. I should note I have nothing against Dennys just MAGAers. 😀

ancaib.bsky.social•3 days ago

So the reason is: nonsense?! 👀

halfcourtshot.bsky.social•3 days ago

Correct. Trump really believes this nonsense. He truly thinks he can recreate the 1980s with the 1950s. Dude still thinks magazine covers matter. I fully admit I miss the romanticism of the Rolling Stone cover mattering. I also know it hasn't been true for over 20 years and never will be again.

Anyone know where to find 500k+ trained machinists needed for reindustrializing the US heartland?

Where exactly is all this industrial talent coming from? The US would need massive immigration to fill even basic roles unless you want 70+ year olds manning the lines.

China will win.

gdunn48124.bsky.social•3 days ago

If the US had a sane leader, this would never happen. But, China will destroy Trump and his toadies.

halfcourtshot.bsky.social•3 days ago

And us along with it.

Europe is in negotiations with China.... I wonder if there could be a winner?

diamondlifeca.bsky.social•3 days ago

All brought to you by power obsessed, greedy Republicans.

halfcourtshot.bsky.social•3 days ago

Same greedy people for 50 years now. Really started under Reagan and as never stopped. If we don't uprise now and finally flip the script then it's never happening.

Economic wars have a way of turning into shooting wars.

maumagnificat.bsky.social•3 days ago

WSJ is unreadable trash. I'm now forced to learn German and Japanese just to read the news, as if in a parallel universe.

halfcourtshot.bsky.social•3 days ago

Their editorial almost all the time is but they actually do some really good hard news stories. Read the one that was just done about what it take to make iPhones in the 🇺🇸 . It goes indepth how it's impossible unless Tim Apple has magic fairy dust. 😀

If I was gonna pick a fight with a perceived rival, the last thing I would do is alienate all my friends first before wading in fists flying.

Trumps utter mismanagement of the entire debacle has strengthened China.

It is an unmitigated farce

The Humpty Dumpty Trump Economy

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again

Trump is breaking all aspects of our country - economy, culture, law, civil rights. Can we ever put it back together again.

brucerfeldman.bsky.social•3 days ago

What else would you expect from a guy who is a convicted felon and who went broke running a casino?

diamondlifeca.bsky.social•3 days ago

Truth

halfcourtshot.bsky.social•3 days ago

It wasn't one casino that Trump bankrupted. It was three. Three. A place where people lined up to hand you their 💰!!

blckberry13.bsky.social•3 days ago

The people voted for this. Eggs and gas prices…least of their worries.

donalddrumpf2025.bsky.social•3 days ago

Great! A battle of egos between two so-called "leaders" who couldn't give two shits about their citizens

blake1964.bsky.social•3 days ago

And the fucking idiots still say the other country pays the tariff. Not sure how we get through this...

longleafpine2024.bsky.social•3 days ago

China is surgical and professional. Trump just swings and axe wildly breaking everything in sight. It's not really fair TBH.

halfcourtshot.bsky.social•3 days ago

Had Trump tried to get the world together in a united front against China IE done deals with them first and started a trade war with them, it might have worked. Now? Forget it, we already lost.

ace2448.bsky.social•3 days ago

Sounds like trump.

ryanmichael80.bsky.social•3 days ago

China’s leader is way smarter. I predict they will make out a lot better than America. China is already making deals while the U.S. is alienating itself from global trade.

bestgardener.bsky.social•3 days ago

China could dump all those treasuries and tank us in a day. wtf is going on? Has Larry Fink not screamed loud enough to drown out Elon?

wileywalrus940.bsky.social•1 day ago

America could have avoided this calamity if they had not elected this pathetic clown to be their president! When you elected a convicted felon & rapist what exactly did you expect to get, a Sunday School Teacher & his class of innocent children?

wileywalrus940.bsky.social•3 days ago

What if America were to withdraw its tariffs on Chila and then China refuses to withdraw their tariffs on America? What would happen then? Has anybody even considered this possibility. What if China finds a new trading partner to buy its exports? What do we do then? Sue them for boycotting America?

longleafpine2024.bsky.social•3 days ago

I suspect this may happen. China will play the long game

highly fraught with risk & complexing
and the US taking on this endeavor with an aging, weak minded sociopath in the Oval Office/Trump
and a cabinet full of unqualified hacks/crack pots...
👿☠️
we are so screwed 🤯

bestgardener.bsky.social•3 days ago

All these voters…he’s a businessman he knows what to do.
The U.S. Government is NOT A BUSINESS.

erinmo.bsky.social•3 days ago

And he bankrupted all of his businesses, including a casino, so…

halfcourtshot.bsky.social•3 days ago

Not a casino. Three casinos. Three. A place where people line up to give you their money. Fucking Georgie Cooper could run it better. Only reason he and Meenaw got shut down was due to the cops, they were making 💰 💰 before then. 😀

drstevenquest.bsky.social•3 days ago

I’m a patriotic American but given the Trump regime’s incompetence I gotta say my money’s on China.

halfcourtshot.bsky.social•3 days ago

China has already won. Trump will do what he did last time. Sign deals that are actually worse then before but then claim victory. If Trump is one thing it's consistent.
