Do you think Trump is trying to unify the world by being the bad guy?

[Lynx122]

If he only put tariffs on China and Europe maybe he still would've gotten away with it. It would have caused trade wars for sure but it wouldn't have been a complete disaster. But by targeting Canada and Mexico and then also switching sides in the Russia/Ukraine war he's pissed off almost everybody. If he picked a fight with just a few countries it would have been fine but he's unifiying everyone against him now. It'll be interesting to see where this goes.

What do you think is gonna happen?

[Pet68]

I have a theory. President Musk and his goofy sidekick Donald Trump, were installed by the Deep State/WEF/NWO/Klaus Schwab gang in order to accomplish this very task; unite the world against a common enemy. Unrest is being encouraged within the US, separatist movements will be supported (ex. Calexit, Texit), and everyone will hate the USA. Siding with Russia and Israel, two other pariah states, will make this unity even stronger, and before anyone even realises it, there will be a unified effort by all the other nations of the globe to ignore their differences and unite under a single socialist world government. It really is quite clever. Do remember that back in the 1980's that other great disaster of a president (Ronald Reagan) said pretty much the same thing, but instead talked about an "alien invasion" uniting the world.

Anyway, that's my batty conspiracy theory! Like it? :D

[Lynx122]

Yes maybe they said we can't unite the world with the U. S. in a positive role so let's try the opposite. Makes total sense :)

[MisterWack]

No. You can unify the world by being a good guy with less the hard work.

I predicted North Korea would give Russia troops before it was confirmed and I was brushed aside as not knowing what I was talking about. In that prediction I said that if we let Putin take Ukraine, it will be making a repeat of the ‘appeasement’ mistake that led to World War II.
First Putin took Crimea, then he went on to take rest of Ukraine…. IF there is a ‘ceasefire’, Russia will keep the land it obtained and Ukraine will be at a weakened position to fight again. Our investments in Ukraine will pay off by preventing a bigger conflict.

We all know China gives Russia drones, Iran gives Russia missiles, and North Korea provides the Russians with troops. This is the modern Iron Curtain and if we don’t stand up to Putin now, Europe will fall and there will be no one to stand up for United States of America. Mark my words!

[MisterWack]

To put it simply for those that missed the mark: Iron Curtain taking over the world with a Communistic / Autocratic Regime when America turned their backs on the world is not unity, it is the destruction of freedoms & liberty & democratic values this Republic was founded on God Damn It!

[Caroline91]

@MisterWack. I'm definitely marking them, Wacky. And 13 years ago, no one listened to me when I said a fascist dictatorship could happen in the US after doing some comparative analysis of the speeches of Adolf Hitler and Richard Nixon. I said it would take the perfect storm of the right dictatorial mindset leader and socioeconomic environment. Annnddd... here we are!

[purplepoppy]

It's going to end up like one of those old whodunit movies. Trump assassinated and dozens of countries as suspects.

"T'was Belgium in the library with a sharpened candle stick."

[Lynx122]

Sounds entertaining :)

Read Samuel P. Huntington's "Clash of civilizations".

That moron is trying to start WW3. He is certainly not trying to unify anyone. He is trying to collapse the USA economy and make us the laughing stock of the world... which he has done.

The unfortunate thing is, usually the public elects a Republican. They then run the USA into the ground, then everyone elects a Democrat for 8 years to put everything back together and get things running right again. I am not so sure the Democrat's will be able to put the mess the orange traitor felon leaves behind back together again. He might break it beyond repair.

[grega239]

How is he trying to start ww3?

[exitseven]

I think that he realizes that war is bad for business just like the old time gangsters used to say. We could be building sky scrapers and hospitals. We could build the fusion reactor and go to Mars. Instead countries are spending billions and sacrificing thousands of lives and creating man made disaster areas.

Trump is right when he says he wants the killing to end. Too bad the democrats take the opposite position and want the killing to continue.

[Lynx122]

The problem is Putin can only be stopped by force, or at least projecting so much strength that he won't try to start a war again. And Trump is doing the opposite. He's threatening to leave Nato he's cutting support for Ukraine and reducing sanctions on Russia so he's not even economically punishing Russia anymore. And by the way tariffs are bad for business too but Trump seems to love those a lot.

[exitseven]

Tariffs can be good for business if applied correctly and for the right reasons.

[OneViewpoint]

No, I think tRump is a blind drunk imbecile stumbling through the darkness raging against all his perceived enemies because of his severe personality disorders due to his nightmare childhood.

I think it is exactly what it looks like.

[Lynx122]

What happened in his childhood? I never heard about it. I only heard his dad was rich.

[OneViewpoint]

Read his niece Mary Trump's book, "Too Much And Never Enough". His father was a tyrant asshole and a flaming racist. Little Donnie was desperate for his father's love and approval but daddy treated all his kids like shit. The entire extended family was severely damaged and dysfunctional. Little Donnie grew up to be his daddy. That's where the misogyny, malignant narcissism, and sociopathy came from. He always underperformed in school and he had to cheat his way through with help from daddy. It left him with massive feelings of inadequacy. Hence his desperate need to be the biggest, best, smartest, richest, etc. He's always been desperate for acceptance by the NY elites. They shit on his toxic personality his entire life.

[Miristheiss]

What is BAD?

Securing our countries border. Following the law and deporting those that shouldn't be here, setting trade to be more fair to our country instead of us being ripped off.

If this is bad... in peoples' eyes...

[Lynx122]

Capitalists complaining that the free market is not fair, that's pretty funny.

[Friendlybro79]

I think he's going to further embarrass himself and our country and eventually have to remove the tarrifs. Somehow he will say he was victorious even though he wasn't and still blame Biden, Hilary, or Obama for whatever failures happen under his administration. The guy is a parasitic drain on our society and is the worst "leader" the US has ever endured.

[elTAHAwy]

He thinks he is a smart and strong guy and the whole world should obey his orders without question maybe because he used to be so in his business but there are a lot of old and big countries overthere with rich history that just have honor and do what they want

[DryGermanGuy]

As in, knowingly? Hello, no. Remember, his professors called him the dumbest student they ever tutored. But Trump is achieving that result involuntarily, anyway.

[BonzoInBitburg]

You're giving him too much credit. The tariffs were a miscalculation. He didn't expect the entire world to stand up to him. The rest of the world got together just for trade and I think they enjoy watching the market crash

[Joshydavid25]

"But by targeting Canada and Mexico and then also switching sides in the Russia/Ukraine war he's pissed off almost everybody."

You do realize that Zelenskyy conceded right? He now wants to do the deal, after Democrats "persauded" him not to.. Trump is seeing that these "allies" are low key swindling the U. S and he's try to get then to give their fair share or to at stop letting things like Fentenyl through the borders..

[Anonymous]

The only people musk has hone after in the "fat trimming" plan are people that went after them or their businesses in the past, with a lot of other groups tangled in there too. They are unbelievably transparent.

[alice55]

He's more trying to make the third world war happen and once Europe is on the verge of winning he will come and act like a hero asking us to give him territories...

[CandyRattt]

Apple moved their production plants to China so they could take advantage of slave labor. Obviously, the slaves can’t afford an iPhone, so they then ship them to America to sell them.
Trump fix that. They can keep using Chinese slave labor, or they can build their products in America and not have to pay a tariff. So Apple has pledge to invest $500 billion in American production. Seems like a smart idea to me.

[beefcakebradybatson]

He's doing a great job of being a villain !!!

[Lynx122]

Yes they should give him an Oscar :)

[DrPepper12]

He has indeed unified the globe against us. He's a putz with chutzpah.

[Anonymous]

*scratches my balls before answering* so, like, um, those other countries, meaning Canada and mexico ALREADY imposed tariffs on US goods, and in some instances outright refuse some American goods to enter their countries. I have yet to hear one non-full-of-complete-shit answer as to why it's cool for other countries to tariff the US, but not the other way around. Okay... go. Let's hear it.

[DrPepper12]

Ideally there should be minimal Tarriffs and only for comparative advantage or protection of domestic industry. It's not cool in either direction. Does that help?

[SofaKingsMart]

Unify? Nope

Bring to heel? He’s trying

[grega239]

He only cares about america. He made that pretty clear.

Europe is also more pro trump than you'd think.

Not sure why he'd care if the rest of the world hates him

[Lynx122]

Well America is gonna suffer. He's already had to delay and make exceptions for the tariffs because it would've caused too much damage to the U. S. if he didn't. I wouldn't be surprised if he has to cancel the tariffs on Canada and Mexico completely in the end.

[grega239]

Why would he cancel the tariffs? Canada tariffs the u. s.
Canada also can't compete with the u. s. so they will back down if the already haven't. As will mexico

[Dargil]

Trump is being MAGAutocratic in behalf of the USA's interests. Every country should see themselves that way. Self interest is a unifier.

[SuperZonicGUY1992]

All I know is I want Eva Longoria she is hot to be our president in 2029!

[Twalli]

You think he's pulling a Lelouch Lamperogue?
Look up Code Geas if you don't get the reference.

[SmokinAces2000]

Yeah Unify the world against us. He’s an idiot with horrible foreign policy

[Elena85]

It be war between the haves and have nots. Like In 1920s-30s during prohibition.

[Pterodon]

No he’s just saying America isn’t taking the worlds bullshit anymore

[Ariesman81]

A man liked by all is often respected by few.

[Ladsin2]

Reciprocal tariffs only make sense. How do they not?

[slatyb]

Trump cares about only one thing: Donald Trump.

[Nerdvana]

He's not that smart

[NathanDavis]

lol...

[Agape93]

Lol nope
