Trump thinks the U.S. is so strong that no group in the world can take it down. Yet, wolves, hunting in packs, can kill exhaust much bigger prey. Trump’s tariff policy has created a worldwide pack of wolves and they are angry. The pack has over 40Tr. in GDP, the U.S. about 28 Tr. Do the math.

There is no chance of converting most of the people that voted for Trump into anti Trump voters. There is slim % that already doubt their decision. But the remainder either totally believe in his obscure vision or refuse to admit they made a mistake. We must focus on the “slim %”. But, who are they?

Tariffs will not lead to dominance in key industries because our need for products are too great. The solution is targeted tariffs for strategic industries, new investments In basic and applied science; as well increased funding for education/ training that seeks to produce a skilled labor force.

Trump’s foreign policy continues to fail, examples: takeover Greenland and oppose China. Greenland’s voters say no to joining U.S. The Chinese Navy just sailed around Australia. Aussies feel threatened but are unsure U. S. will help protect them. Trump is seen as an unreliable partner. China wins.

Trump, the great negotiator, does it again. He makes outrageous threats and in the face of opposition backs off. After only several hours of discussions, the U. S. decided to reverse its position on Ukrainian security assistance and intelligence sharing. This is great news. But Trump looks weak.

Since January 20th, Trump has done as lot to cause a recession. It is his misguided and harmful strategy for bringing down prices and reducing overseas competitors. His tariffs will not work. We should consider aggressively subsidizing strategic industries and ignore tariffs in most cases.

Since Jan. 20th, Trump has started two tariff wars (Can.and Mex., attempted to sellout NATO and Ukraine, rejected a Gaza plan sponsored by the Arab counties, France, Italy, UK and Germany; threatened to takeover Greenland and the Panama Canal. But has done nothing to reduce U.S. cost of living.

Mr President: You will not beat down Canada. The issues you are raising, as well similar issues raised by Canada, can be resolved without a tariff war. The Canadian and American people are the losers in this fight. China will be the winner. Is that in the interest of the U.S.? Stop the Nonsense!

I can’t get used to Trump’s heartless and mean approach. The termination of so many veterans is appalling. This country owes a great debt to veterans. We live free because of them. That debt should be paid by providing medical support, housing and job security. He does not care. Shame on him!

Trump is doing really well. The S&P YTD index is down @8.3% since he took over on Jan. 23rd. Add to this, the rising cost of living (all due to his chaotic economic policies), Trump is well on his way to causing a deep recession. Is this what his supporters voted for? PUTIN MUST BE PROUD OF HIM!!

I wonder if Trump is reading the most recent polls on his handling of the Ukraine/Russia war. This issue could do to Trump what the withdrawal from Afghanistan did to Biden. The polls show that a majority of the people polled do not agree with Trump’s handling of the matter. He is losing support.

So the grand Trump economic strategy for lowering the cost of living is to create a recession? Trump is admitting that he has no plan. Triggering a recession will certainly increase unemployment, drive up the deficit, and may not decrease inflation. The people who voted Trump should feel betrayed?

Trump is threatening to attack Iran over its nuclear program. He caused this problem by recklessly backing out of the Iran nuclear deal. He thinks he will takeout Iran’s nuclear capability via a military strike. It is not likely to succeed. What goes around comes around and Trump owns this problem.

Watch the video. A former Prime Minister of Canada( 91 years old) just made the greatest statement of why Canada will never bow down. Trump just got hit in the face. We Americans need to join with our northern friends and tell Trump to stop the nonsense. www.youtube.com/watch?v=atdw...

When does legitimate criticism of Israel’s action become anti-Semitic? Not every criticism can be defined as antisemitism. For example, Israel’s action today of cutting off all electricity to Gaza is cruel, unjust, and should be a war crime. If this statement is deemed anti-Semitic then so be it.

This is a reminder: Trump has everyone focused on Ukraine, Gaza, destruction of NATO, taking over Greenland-Mexico-Canada and tariffs. But he does not mention that the cost of eggs or the other rising living costs. He campaigned on dropping those prices. And nothing positive is being done.

Trump’s Gaza Plan suffered a defeat on Sat, The UK, France, Italy and Germany are backing the Arab approved Egyptian Plan. The Egyptian Plan is more realistic and the Arabs have the funds to start construction immediately. Trump, who has no money for Gaza, will not win support for his plan. Good.

Trump’s announcement that the U. S. military will not participate in Europe’s war exercises is sure anger our Europeans partners. You do not treat allies like 2nd class people. Europe will move on and make new allies. Who will the U.S. call when China challenges it? This is a very dumb strategy.

I don’t think there has ever been so mean a government as Trump’s. The recent government decision to require Maine parents to bring their newborn children to the office for certification is beyond awful. It says a lot about Trump’s character and raises questions about the people who voted for him.

Trump is now committing the moral equivalent of war crimes in Ukraine. He is so determined to win a Noble Peace Prize for his plan that he is not only ending weapons resupply but also intelligence sharing. More Ukrainian soldiers and civilians will die. Where are the American voices opposing him?

Trump is clearly only interested in power; “might makes right.” And he is winning but it will not last. Europe, Canada, Mexico, South America, Australia, Japan, South Korea and others will adjust and pushback. We will be isolated. We, the American people, will be to blame; we did not stop Trump.

Trump is becoming unhinged. This is no joke. Canada is the best example. He is so angry that Canada is not backing down; he can’t bear the pushback. He switches from threats to tariff pauses to threats. His latest threat of imposing a 250% tariff on dairy is insane. What’s next? Threaten invasion?

Trump is thinking about imposing sanctions on Russia. If true, then we all should encourage him to do so; it is the right thing to do. However, in the end, Trump must agree to provide security guarantees. The sanctions are good but security are absolutely imperative. Putin only understands power.

The U.S. will expect allies to rally to it in the event of a clash (whether it be economic, military, or both) with China. Yet, Trump is treating U.S. allies badly. Why would Europe join with the U.S. when Trump abandoned It and Ukraine? Trump needs to support Europe and keep it as an ally.

Trump is criminally negligent in foreign policy. If China invaded Taiwan, he should want European support against China. Trump will lose future EU and UK support if he fails to provide Ukrainian security guarantees. What should be more important: having allies to oppose China, or helping Putin?

Trump’s latest threat: “Release the hostages or you are dead!” It will be interesting to see what Trump has in mind? Will he carpet bomb Gaza and kill all the Palestinians? Use gas? What can he do that the Israelis have not done? Hamas is still there! He looks silly when he makes these threats.

Trump is failing big time. The DJ Index is down @2.46% since Jan. 20th. Egg prices are up and inflation is still rising. The negative news is solely due to his chaotic mis management of the economy. Biden handed him the strongest economy in the world. Greet job, Mr President. Putin is proud of you!

Trump plans to fire 80,000 Veteran’s Affairs ( VA) staff. The VA has struggled for years to provide an adequate level of support for veterans. Trump plan will certainly drop service levels further. Our veterans deserve better than cutbacks. Many veterans supported Trump. What a payback. Pathetic.

Do we need a new political party? One that will stand up and oppose Trump ( peacefully)? A party that will activate people to offer viable alternatives to MAGA policies; not just at the federal level but also on local issues. Pro-democratic forces need to organize and the Democratic Party is MIA.

Please click on the link. www.threads.net/@margi17/pos... It will show you where the world is with regard to Trump and the U.S. Trump is not intimidating anyone. He is creating a peaceful rebellion among our allies. The U.S. can only lose this fight unless we ( Americans) begin to push back.

Dear Pres. Zelensky and European Leaders: Churchill once said, “ Nations that went down fighting rose again, but those who surrendered tamely were finished.” While it easy for me to say, you need, for the sake of the whole free world, (including the U. S.) to never surrender to a Putin or Trump.

Trump will no doubt reject any peace plan other than his own. He wants a Noble Peace Prize for ending the Ukrainian War. That would be acceptable if he wasn’t ready to sellout Ukraine. Europeans must plan for Trump to reject any European plan. Otherwise Ukraine and Eastern Europe will be lost.

I always recognized that “money talks.” So when I see that Trump has rejected an Arab plan for the 100% funding and rebuilding of Gaza, I have have to ask why he can stop it. The U.S. cannot justify spending billions in Gaza at a time deep budget cuts. It is clear “the emperor has no clothes.”

I guess Trump realized his bullying of Canada, China, and Mexico is not working because he just announced another pause for a month. Trump jnow looks very weak and foolish. You screwed Donald. Countries are not going to play your game. Any new deal will not be one sided in favor of you. Great job!

If anyone wants to push back on the MAGA agenda, start at the bottom: school boards and local elections. Get active attend meetings and run for office. Do you know when your school boards meet? Or, when the next local elections are to be held. These events help to build a strong political base.

Thank God for our Judiciary and In particular the Supreme Court. They continue to uphold our laws. U.S.A.I.D. Is now allowed to pay its bills. Trump and Musk lost!!! But we need a strong, peaceful opposition comprised of American voters to support the courts. The Democratic Party must lead the way.

Trump has imposed a partial ban on intelligences sharing with Ukraine. How despicable is that? He is literally killing innocent Ukrainians. Why? Can it be his ego cannot accept that Zelensky stood up to him for the right reason: security guarantees? I pray Europe can rise up and help Ukraine.

America: if you believe the tariffs imposed by Trump will cause a little trouble you are seriously mistaken. Many major corporations are indicating they will raise prices. American businesses and farmers will lose foreign market share. U.S. businesses will lay off workers. You are the loser here.

Despite Trump’s claims of success, he has caused great damage. The tariffs on friendly countries will lead them to seek new markets. China’s door is wide open. It is winning. No amount of U.S. tariffs will stop China’s increase in influence or foreign business. Is this really in America’s interest?

Mr President: Germany has always been,careful to keep its budget deficits very low. But your actions against Ukraine have lead to a major change. Germany plans to increase its debt limit to build up its military. This is Europe’s first step toward independence of the U.S. Is this what we need? No!!

I strongly suggest everyone watch Justin Trudeau’s speech in response to Trump’s tariffs. He is fired up and I know that all Canadians are determined to push back Trump’s ambitions regarding Canada. I was thinking the UK has Sir Keir Starmer, Canada has Trudeau and we have Trump. We lost out!

Steven Miran, Trump’s nominee to lead the Council of Economic Advisers, has stated that U. S. tariffs will not cost U.S. taxpayers anything because the U. S. dollar will increase in value. Well the dollar is moving in the other direction. Does that mean the cost of U.S. tariffs will be even higher?

Opportunity knocks for Democrats but will they take it? The Repub. Pty. is telling their elected members to avoid town hall meetings. They are getting too much pushback in such sessions. The Democrats should step in and hold town hall meetings everywhere, weekly, and be the face of the resistance.

Trump continues to dishonor the U.S. He is causing a great deal of ill will around the world. The U.S. needs allies but he is losing them. Trump’s take or leave it attitude has the U. S. In a trade war with its three biggest suppliers. Europe is furious with Trump. Putin must be proud of his boy!

RFK is pushing Vitamin A as a remedy for measles. He is dangerous and people are gullible but unfortunately children may die because of his ridiculous theories. I hope I am wrong. But if children do die then he should be fired and jailed. There is reason to put children at risk. We deserve better.

How is it possible for Americans to respect Trump after he outright lied?Trump campaigned on reducing the cost of living but he has failed miserably and created a trade war with the U.S.’s three largest trading partners. It will get worse. Call your legislative representatives and complain.
