Oh no, what will I ever do if I can’t keep buying stuff I dont need.
“Americans might have trouble expressing greedy tendencies under a Trump presidency.”
The entitlement of americans is absurd. Palestinian children are killed with made in america bombs while our population weeps over its loss of made in china electronics.
Clearly the american dream is dead if you can’t replace your computer every year.
Your post right there? That’s one of the reasons Harris lost.
Of course people (not just Americans) are selfish. Doesn’t matter if it’s good or not, that’s just the factual truth. The Republicans knew how to work with that, by selling the voters a solution to the things that actually interested them. That’s also what helped Obama (“Hope”, though a bit vague) and Bill Clinton (“It’s the economy, stupid”) get elected (Yes, it also didn’t hurt that they were rock stars). Now the Democrats are perceived not only as a party that’s not willing to work on issues that concern them, but as actually criticizing them for wanting what they want.
It sucks the prices will go up, and I’m not saying I want this but I feel like they would go up higher than this based on what he said.
Trump’s not going to need to apply tarifs.
Biden has both Russia and China on the back foot with failing economies, and significant social unrest. Both are desperate to make a deal with Trump. Trump only succeeds in negotiation when he can bully his adversary.
If Biden had the faculties, he could have whipped both countries and probably avoided this mess.
Actually, I am really removed from the US domestic situation, and only impacted by the US foreign policy situation.
I’m just trying to point out that he can use his threats to get what he wants, which is the only tactic that he actually knows how to do. Unless he got smarter since his last tern.
The US has been losing its global grip. Especially since the genocide in Gaza the entire global south has fled to align with China.
In the past the US had power to sanction countries such as Afghanistan to their doom. Now those countries have the option to align with China and Russia. The era of western dominance is not growing. It is weakening.
Trump whipped Mexico really well into paying for that wall.
Trump just talks a bunch of shit lol. That’s actually why he won. Because he promised everything to everyone. He doesn’t have any real plans other than those related to genitals and immigrants. He never backs it up with any evidence either
Trump negotiated really well with Foxconn too. Remember that 10 billion factory they were gonna build thanks to Trump?
In fact, I’m actually willing to bet petrol prices and power prices will increase too. Because suddenly, batteries and solar have less competition and even if manufacturered in US, they can raise their prices
It’s just really dumb 😂
Trump talks shit, and he’s weak at taking action. That is my point. Here he can likely get away with talking shit, and his opponents will cave.
The wall was bs, but he did get nafta renegotiated by bullying.
He’s got a good chance at coming out of RU and CN negotiations looking good, despite not doing anything.
He’s nothing but a bully, which might actually work here. If it does, then the authoritarians shithawks are going to look really good.
The US is at least 40 years removed from any kind of real electronics manufacturing at scale.
This kind of thing takes generational knowledge to get right and we outsourced that knowledge a long time ago.
We are now several generations from being able to manufacture electronics on the level.
Either trump has no idea how anything works or he’s actively trying to destroy the American economy.
He likes Russia so much that he wants the US to become like it. He’s following the post-USSR playbook. He’s trying to destroy the economy so he and his billionaire buddies can buy up the scraps for pennies on the dollar. Which will turn him into an oligarch and will keep him in power after his term is up. And he isn’t going to pay for any of it. He will steal money from the people like he did in his first term with his golf course and his cult following will keep giving him money and buy his crypto coins. That’s why he wants to get rid of cryptocurrency regulation.
He will just give out stimulus checks to make everyone think the economy is good. Somehow that’s not socialism though it’s American!
yep, warm up those money printers. And too bad for anyone who has saved a nestegg for retirement-- thats all getting watered down now. ah well.
