I'm embarrassed to be an American, because of trump, are you?

Question

After his blowup with Zelensky, I'm embarrassed to be an American. I already hate the guy, but this only made me realize that I don't even want to be an American anymore

Zelensky deserves an apology from the piece of shit that treated him so disgustingly, I can't believe the level of bullshit they're spewing! America should be ashamed right now the conduct of the president and our foreign policy! it's not only disgusting we'll be lucky if it doesn't cause a new great depression! The tariffs alone will probably double grocery bills and European companies are threatening to boycott us.

This is the worst presidency in American history. Say I'm wrong all you want when you see your bills going up and your money still being worth less and less every day just remember it was Trumps tariffs that fucked you. Tariffs are a tax on foreign goods paid by the seller so if the cost to import something to America goes up what are the sellers are going to do? They're going to raise prices to make up the difference and the cost is passed onto the consumer.

Worse if we pull out of NATO or France succeeds in starting its own sphere our global reputation and standing will be obliterated. We will become the most hated country in the world after North Korea and Russia. We import a shit ton of raw material and other things from Europe that we then make into products here that we sell at a profit.

A trade deficit doesn't mean that we're losing money trading. It means we import more goods than we export but since America makes a ton of money from industry if we piss off the people who sell us our parts and materials what do you think they're going to do to the rates they give us on their stuff?

Europe doesn't need us Economically they can just trade more with China, but China hates us! They won't give us good terms. We live in a global economy and we're pissing off every single one of our trade partners.

Also how was Zelensky rude? They treated him like shit the moment he got there and as for him not wearing a suite I don't give a fuck. He doesn't wear a suite because those are Ukrainian combat fatigues! He's sending a message he stands with his people and soldiers!

Also why does Zelensky get into deep shit for not wearing a suit, but Elon musk can walk into the oval office dressed like a hobo that robbed hot topic while his kid yells at reporters and wipes a booger on the desk? Zelensky is the one being rude? Bullshit!

This was a set up done in bad faith from the start. They were trying to bully him into selling away his countries future but he's smarter and stronger than they are. Trump and Vance are pathetic insecure school yard bullies that think yelling and treating everyone like your lesser makes you a tough strong man. It doesn't it makes you a tyrant and an insecure pussy because daddy loved money more than you.

Zelensky apologize to us? Fucking absurd this is the political equivalent of being a rape apologist. Zelensky is a saint for putting up with it I would have slugged the bastards, to hell with the consequences in his place.

Trump isn't a strong man he's a moron that botched a multibillion-dollar mineral deal by shitting on the guy who was willing to sign the treaty but of yea he's a great businessman give me a fucking break. y'all think Biden was bad? Buckle up.

Also, I'm well aware of the US aid situation and I agree that spending money on trans protests and surgeries in foreign countries is fucking stupid, but the Gaza condom thing was a lie that Elon admitted to claiming he was accidently wrong. US aid isn't out there giving condoms to places with tons of STDs or prodding food and medical aid because America are the good guys. It's soft power projection.

Why do you think these countries in Africa, south America and some of the middle east sell us their oil and raw resources? Because we do shit like that for them and in exchange they behave (Mostly) and give us good deals and priority on the resources we need for our country!

Do you know what's going to happen if we stop providing aid to foreign countries? The Russians or the Chinese will swoop in with arms full of gifts and offer to be their new sugar daddy and then they get the good deals that made America so powerful. Even if you look at this from a purely selfish and self-serving perspective canceling US aid is a terrible idea!

I am not American but I am proud of the American President and Vice President.

Re-posting truth:

"Many of you probably watched what took place between Donald Trump, JD Vance and Volodymyr Zelensky.

Whether you're a Democrat or a Republican, you might be thinking to yourself, 'Oh, my God, Donald Trump just screwed up!'

Donald Trump has been under constant political persecution since the beginning of his first term. Over time, he has learned to be patient and calculated.

Zelensky was invited to the Oval Office. However, both Trump and JD Vance knew exactly what Zelenskyy was going to do:
He would use this opportunity, in front of the American people, to make a power play.

Both Trump and Vance anticipated this.

When Zelensky began appealing to the emotions of the American people, JD Vance stepped in, accusing him of disrespecting Donald Trump. This was brilliant strategy. It’s important to understand that Zelenskyy is trying to gain access to NATO.

Trump knew this but could not allow it to happen. If Ukraine joins NATO, the U. S. would be bound by NATO’s collective defense agreement:
"An attack on one is an attack on all."

Now consider the larger implications: Ukraine and Russia despise each other. If Ukraine were to become a NATO member, any future skirmish between them would obligate the U. S. to enter into direct conflict with Russia. This would mean World War III. And if that happened, China would have to choose a side—they would almost certainly align with Russia.

So what you witnessed tonight was a setup. Trump and JD Vance knew that the only way to achieve peace was to strategically align, at least on the surface, with Russia. Why? Because Russia would never sign a peace treaty if Ukraine were admitted into NATO.

This is why Trump dismantled Zelensky’s argument. And when Zelensky, seeing his play failing, tried to backtrack and offer a treaty, Trump refused.

Zelensky’s real intent was clear: He would not agree to peace unless security guarantees were in place.

But what was he actually saying? That NATO must accept Ukraine. However, Russia would never agree to peace, knowing that NATO, their historical adversary, would surround them.

Zelensky, Putin, and Trump all knew this.

Meanwhile, Zelensky, thinking he had Democrats' support, believed he could make this bold move on live television. But Trump and Vance saw right through it and outmaneuvered him.

They knew that, in the short term, Democrats and the media would try to use this moment against them. But they also knew they had two years before midterms to prove their strategy was the right one. So they held their ground, brilliantly so.

Now, Zelensky will have no choice but to back down and accept Trump's terms. But here’s the genius part: Trump is actually protecting Ukraine without dragging the U. S. into war.

By negotiating a mineral mining deal, President Trump ensures that Americans will be involved in Ukraine’s mining industry. This prevents Russia from launching an invasion, because attacking Ukraine would mean endangering American lives which is something that would force the U. S. to respond.

Trump played both sides like a grandmaster chess player. In the end, Zelensky will have no choice but to concede, because without U. S. support, Ukraine cannot win a prolonged war against Russia. And once U. S. companies have mining operations in Ukraine, Putin will be unable to attack without triggering massive international consequences.

Don’t underestimate Donald Trump. In this game of chess, he’s 10 moves ahead of everyone."

Trump is like the joker. He is a clown and when you see him do stuff you probably starth laughing. Then he starts doing crime and killing people and you are confused if you should be worried or still laugh because you still can't take him serious.

He makes america the most dangerous laughing stock in existance. Well dangerous for American citizens but still dangerous.

dustybiker2 · Accepted Answer

Trump, Vance are two men in a country. They embarrass themselves not the country. The rest of the world is intelligent enough to separate man from country.

One example. No matter what trump, vance or musk does I know Canada will not abandon California's agreements with them for renting their men and planes during fire season. Because that is how a real country is run.

Lliam · Answer

No, I'm not embarrassed. I agree with Trump on some things and disagree on others. It was the same with every president.
Biden was a far bigger embarrassment.
I think Trump is better than Dubya, Obama and Biden, even if I'm not a huge fan.

I agree with him on Ukraine, but it pisses me off that he's Netanyahu's poodle.

MisterWack · Answer

I’m not embarrassed to be an American, I am embarrassed to have a leader as moronic & dangerous as Donald Trump back in The White House.

I’m proud to be an American because despite of it all, we are a nation of good people and good morals for the most part. One idiot doesn’t make the whole bunch so.

lightbulb27 · Answer

you couldn't stand him before, so it's just a cherry ontop of a cake.

I am disappointed that in spite of all his effort, attention... and now rage... there is no traction or improvement. The only positive is Russia is beginning to engage diplomatically. That, is positive.

mattthefatbat · Answer

If you told republicans back in 2010 that a republican president would side against democracy, not fully respect the constitution and court of law, and bring in a team of people to tear down the u. s. government and strip away the benefits of americans day by day.

They would think we lost our minds, or let our enemies run the country.

Pet68 · Answer

I'm not even American and I'm also embarrassed by his disgusting behaviour. And Vance! "But you didn't say 'Thank You'". Actually, he did, on more than one occasion. What more does J D want?

Donald Krasnov is working for Putin. That's just a fact, and if you're an American who still supports this lousy "president", then you're either profoundly stupid or a traitor.

loveslongnails · Answer

It's even more embarrassing to think that 70 million people voted for that piece of crap. The one saving grace is that when you travel to other countries where people are actually informed about things, they ask "what's going on in your country" and don't automatically assume that you are one of the idiots. They're aware that half the voters aren't as stupid as the other half.

If you’re embarrassed then maybe you should leave to another one of these countries. Someone else will gladly take your spot. Stop crying like the feminine boy you are. Doesn’t matter who’s in office people will always complain. So rather than complain maybe you should think ok for 4 years unless something dramatic happens, how can I make things better for myself? For my family? But no you’ll sit there crying, acting like a victim.

More like disgusted by tRump and the entire morally bankrupt MAGA trash and a spineless Republican party that cares more about getting reelected and licking the ass of Oligarchs than serving the people they swore an oath to represent.

The embarrassment of being the "laughing stock" of the world under BIDEN, will hopefully soon evaporate under the long-awaited greatness of Trump, Vance, and Musk LEGITIMATELY in the Whitehouse. They've accomplished SOOO much already :))
