      Well just look at E. Jean Carrol. “Nasty” to him often means that he wants to literally rape you.

    If something is really cool, Trump hates it.

    If something is garbage, Trump thinks it’s wonderful.

    If something mocks Trump, Trump’s brittle ego can’t handle it. He has no emotional capacity to handle criticism. He is stuck with the emotional maturity of a generic 5-year old; maybe 7-year old.

    If Im not mistaken Trump says specifically, “if a country has tariffs on us we put tariffs on them, if they remove tariffs on us we remove tariffs on them”.

    If project 2025 is to be believed his goal is to get Canada to remove their tariffs, including protectionist policies for things like banks, dairy, and telecoms.

    Through that guise is he a free trade purist, and our existing free trade system is an oxymoron?

      I think this is how Trump phrases it. In reality almost all countries have tariffs of some kind to protect key industries. Trump’s demands/bullying/tarrif-mania normally amounts to him wanting specific tarrifs removed to benefit the US.

        Key industries like dairy, so Canadian citizens get the privilege of paying 24$ for a tiny block of quality cheese.

        I doubt the poors health would suffer from eating cheese instead of highly processed junkfood, we may even be able to lower the obesity rate and our healthcare costs.

          I’m not very knowledgable on Canadian politics, but agriculture is a sizable part of their GDP[1], seems like a fair enough view to value the jobs and industry it provides over having lower priced dairy?

          More importantly, it seems like a choice that’s down to the voters of Canada, and if the USA doesn’t like it, they should negotiate to find something that worksfor both countries, rather than trying to use their economic heft into bullying the world.

            Or the US can tariff us instead, destroying our economy to get us to stop with the hubris that we are a self made country and not fully reliant on the US for our standard of living.

    I don’t know who is stupider…Trump or the voters who elected him?

    I hope the US just rots and falls apart in 4 years.

      The voters for sure. I’ve engaged with so many obnoxious, irrational, hyper-aggressive people lately who are so high on their own farts and delusion that they’re beyond getting through to. One guy even offered to “fly me out today” to fight him over the subject. Right-wing propoganda has them angry at their own shadow.

      I know advocating for violence is frowned upon, but maybe fucking these people up is the only way to get through to them. Seems to be the only language they speak by the end of any argument.

        Keep repeating to yourself: they have an “external locus of identity”. This is why they are angry, because an attack on Trump is an attack at their personal identities.

        Lmao. Should have asked him to send you the money to book. I’m sure he can afford it with all of the money he’s saving because of tariffs and DOGE cuts.

      No you don’t.

      If the government of the USA falls apart there is still a giant military infrastructure in place.

      If you think that they’ll just shut down all those aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines you are terribly mistaken.

        People seem to keep missing that. The only country that has ever used nuclear weapons in war is falling apart. You aren’t safe if you’re in another country. You aren’t safe if you’re on this planet.

          Exactly. Politics is messy and there aren’t ever going to be perfect options.

          Figuring out the least terrible choice is how we progress.
