      Isolation of the USA just like Russia will be such a Bigly win for this pathetic pile of shit.

      Go on do it.

      Do it you filet o fish eating moron!

      I hope every nation inside and out of NATO tells agent orange to eat their ass.

    2. omfg, this guy keeps coming with worse ideas every time he opens his mouth.
      Well looks like a full blown trade war is about to start, because the EU will implement the “anti bully’s act” and so it begins.

      But seriously, why does this guy keep coming up with stupid ideas, and the worst part is that everybody loses this way, worse for the U.S. citizens IMH

    3. He is **so many** terrible things but sometimes I am most offended by just how monumentally *stupid* he is.

      (Kidding, mostly, because obviously being stupid is not more offensive than being a pedophile – just in case I need to point that out).

    4. I hope he actually tries to follow through on this “threat”.  His remaining supporters haven’t had enough pain yet.  It is pretty clear that his remaining supporters won’t stop supporting this guy until they feel more pain.  Let’s get that approval rating down to zero.

    5. Which is hilarious since they can easily just get their exports from other regions and countries. So he’s basically being the child who holds their breath to get what they want. Except it’s more like shooting their own foot to get what they want but hey, not like he really cares about the American people right? Only his own pocket! I am… SO done with this crap, can he please go away now!?

    6. First he “liberates” Venezuela on January 3rd, and by January 16th he’s threatening to tax French wine unless they let him manifest destiny some icebergs. I can’t wait for the 2026 State of the Union where he announces we’re levying a 20% “Oxygen Tax” on any country that doesn’t let us build a golf course on the Moon. We’ve officially entered the “Risk: Global Domination” phase of the presidency.

      He doesn’t have the power to do this. He didn’t have the power to do this in the first place.

      Start holding this mother fucker accountable.

      What even is the endgame with Greenland? I know Europe has yet to grow a pair when dealing with the US (or in general) but even this seems too much for them to just take it with a smile, they’re holding a lot of US bonds so this could really hurt all sides if it comes to it.

      Meanwhile, China is laughing its ass off at the West eating itself alive and salivating that they are too busy to help Taiwan right now

      Go for it. Trump seems to treat tariffs like a vigg that the foreign country pay for access to the American market. Other countries treat them as a cut to their sales and go find a new customer. Americans will just end up paying more for the things they need and buying less. Other countries will end up buying less from America. The demand is let me control the western hemisphere or I’m going to harm us both. I assume there will be few international leaders that see this as a valuable deal.

    10. As a Brit with only a basic understanding of the US system of government I struggle to comprehend how Trump can make so many seemingly unilateral decisions without obvious checks and balances.

      Is he simply riding roughshod over the law or does the Constitution genuinely grant this much power to the President as head of the executive? As an outsider looking in in recent times, it’s becoming increasingly hard to distinguish the goings on from an autocratic system.

    11. Supreme court dragging their feets on ruling on tariffs. It’s clear that Trump shouldn’t have this power, but the conservative judges are probably still deciding which of them has to justify why Trump is allowed to ignore Congress.

      Trump will conquer the world to get out of his illegal pedo protecting, and so the wealthy can continue their important work of exploiting and raping.

    13. Does anyone think this is good for US economics? I’m Canadian and always defended America, if I now absolutely hate America what does that say about the rest of the world? How does making the entire world hate you bode well for your soft power and economy?
