    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!”

      “Don’t you mean or?”

      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.

    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.

    “… in order to protect the best friend that each of those two countries has ever had”. So Europe is a country now 😏?

    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.
