In a late-night social media post, the president said he would impose “large scale” tariffs if Canada and the European Union allied to “do economic harm” to America.

    The trump regime was designed to TANK the US economy so that stocks, businesses, and industries can be bought by billionaires at rock bottom prices.

    All is going according to plan.

    Yet it somehow doesn’t strike him as off at all that long standing allies suddenly feel a need to band against us. It’s a mystery I say, maybe they just woke up and had a bad morning…

    Ok, I’m just an armchair conspiracy theorist, but it just dawned on me that is all possibly still part of Russia’s take over the world plan.

    If Russia wants to take Europe, he needs the US.

    How would you get at least the dumbest citizens to turn against Europe? By making European goods prohibitively expensive, tanking the economy, and blaming it on Europe. Then, he’ll continue to double down, and force us into a full wartime economy by re-activating the draft, and pulling Gen-zers and younger millennials into it. Saying the whole time “Canada and Europe left us no choice.”

    Would that work? It worked for Germany. Our economy isn’t nearly shitty enough yet, but through this process he might be able to do it. If y’all think it’s getting bad, it’s gonna get even worse very quickly.

    “I keep making the tariffs worse, and when you agreed to do what I wanted for border security, I made the tariffs worse, and if you don’t do what I want, I’ll make the tariffs worse, and if you start working together to negate how bad the tariffs are, I’ll make the tariffs worse!”

    If this only moves in one direction regardless of what anyone does, prepare for the entire world to just act like you do not exist at all.

      Reminds me of that scene from the emperor’s new groove

      “Tell us where they are and I’ll burn your house down!”

      I just assume tariffs will hit 9000% eventually.
      That is… if Trump and his fuckers realize taxes and percentages can exceed 100%.

      It is already a lost cause.

    No! You’re not allowed to have any new boyfriends either!!

    Lmfao what a fat fucking turd of a country, go fuck yourself America, forever.

    Enjoy being leader of the world of 1 country. See how far that gets you.

    America has 1/10th the natural resource per capita as Canada, and most of Canada’s mineral deposits are still unexplored. You want a trade war, you can have one you dumb fucks.

      This is the main issue I have while using Lemmy for a few weeks now. Echo chambers really become each other’s echoes. The amount of deja vu ‘news’ that I have already seen a week ago from another community on another instance is too high. The same discussion goes on repeat. Feels like going in circles.

        Many have proposed improvements for better social media to address these issues. Even i made a (bad ?) post about it 1 month ago :

    On the off chance any trump supporters are reading this. We are, hopefully, banding closer together because your leaders are alienating you from us. We never wanted this trade war and we never asked to have our sovereignty threatened.

    It’s not against you. It’s for us. You’re stepping away from your allies, so we have to be closer.

    The president of the United States of America is angry that starting a trade war has started a trade war. I would be appalled, if this wasn’t just par for the course at this point.

A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
