Trump fucks everything up forcing nations to find other economic alternatives then says I will destroy you if you work together. This is the plot of a bad 70's comic book.

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.

Once people find or develop those alternatives they wont be back for at least a few generations. Trump doesn't understand that other countries can and will find a replacement for US goods and if necessary US customers. I'm sure though some who are in the right position are ready to exploit this for their own gain. Trump is more than a fool he is a tool.
Trump has his personal wealth secure via private dinners in maralago. Everything else is for them.
Trumps wealth depends on him keeping the GOP on his side. The second he loses his lock on them his future is very uncertain. He is already losing more and more ground with the people and unless he can do the old brown shirt thing like hitler in four years he is out.
He’s Hindenburg his whole job is setting up the next Hitler. That’s his plan anyway. You can see on his face he already knows how this ends for him.
Another year of this, and these threats will carry about as much weight as North Korea threatening you with sanctions.
Next year will be the effects of this year yeah. This shit is a slow motion genocide like a giant molasses flood.
He (like Putin) is afraid of the EU. He won’t be able to take Canada if they are allied with the EU
Oh now we just GOTTA unite with Canada!
And by “economic harm” what he means is asking for a deal that suits him and fucks the other country over.
Edit; had to rewrite this cause I said Trumps deals would be fair.
By "economic harm" he means don't try to stop me. Don't fight back. Just take it like a good little victim.
I totally ballsed that up. I’m going to have change it.
Canada, all you have to do is outlast us, then buy us up for cheap once Trump decides to give up.
Irrefutable logic:
A -> B
I don’t like B, therefore more A.
Shut up Donnie.... go have your diaper changed again
he's gotta get his "deal" or whatever the fuck this is about well before the midterms when he losses his majority.
ideally you can get some non-senile democrat leadership in place before then.. but i guess not. rot is deep.
well before the midterms when he losses his majority.
Seems to be board suooort for thsi shitstain and his acolytes and hes making voting much harder
You falsely assume there is going to be midterms....
This is important yet I don't think many in the US have understood it, hence the weak responses given by the democrats, and the republicans not caring much for the troubled town hall meetings (apart for their personal security)
Be aware that you will not get elections for the midterms, Trump did mention there will be no more presidential elections during his campaign trail but I think we are witnessing the last few federal votes (Fla 6th district the coming week). Then it will be set in stone.
And as his administration said: courts, including the supreme court is all talk and don't have real power over them.
The world: American tariffs mean we have to de-integrate with the USA and connect with new trading partners.
Trump: If you do that, I'll create more tariffs!
Empty room:
Trump: Shit.
Canada: Fuck off Donnie!
Krasnov really means that he will TRY to destroy Europe if they don't kiss his ass.
He can not seem to grasp that your enemy is allowed to fight back and if you make enemies of friends eventually that is all you will have.
He can not seem to grasp
...anything, really. And his closest henchmen know this well, too! Just read the entire chat on Signal.
They're just using him because he pulls (or used to pull) public consensus, while working around his bullshits.

It's like he can't comprehend that other people would react to his actions.
He raised tariffs, other nations reduced trade with the US and looked elsewhere. If he continues to raise tariffs it will inevitably cause the US to be isolated in trade.
It's not even a shocking/daring tactic, it's a self destructive tantrum because his misunderstanding has led to mismanagement and now he's doubling down

US: Bashes Canada for no reason. Starts a trade war.
Canada: Makes new trade partners.
US: Canada how dare you find other trade partners! Come back here so I can bash you again!
The only person doing economic harm to the US is him.
do it, cunt. the US relies on the EU and its neighbors way more than they rely on the US. you don't even make shit anymore, and whatever you do make isn't up to standards anyway. no one needs the US.

Isn't trump the one actually pushing economic harm to the US? Maybe he should look into that.
