Trade wars happen. Like any wars, much easier to start than to end. But this is what the American people narrowly voted for. They certainly didn't vote for invading Panama and Greenland but they did vote for Trump's cockamamie tariffs.

Absolutely. He's degrading the USA brand bigly and with two terms, the damage is going be super hard to repair later. You know, a key part of Putin's anti-western propaganda for many years has been, yeah we suck, but America sucks as bad as we do, so you have no grounds to criticize us. Tragically it's hard not to acknowledge that Trump is proving him right.

Trump realizes almost nothing about anything. He's great at marketing. He's garbage at governing. His attention span is about the last guy he talked to and now all those guys are loyalist often oligarchs. Fasten your seatbelts.

Well, he has announced that he actually WILL impose a 25 percent tariff on the U.S. closest neighbors -- Canada and Mexico. Tentative date -- February 1. Interesting that 25 percent sounds somewhat moderated from previous threats but 25 percent is 25 percent and not chopped liver. I bet the avocado toast generations are gonna love the prices increase.

Highly unlikely but we'll never know either way. In any case, history will show he made a huge mistake running for reelection in the first place.

You just described convicted felon insurrectionist Trump.

He said Spain was in BRICS, dude. So he either has dementia or he's a total moron with no business being president. You pick. Kay?

Trump being Trump is no excuse, dude! It might work a little in his insane speech. But pardoning violent criminals who assaulted police officers when posing as a law and order president is an ACTION. DISGUSTING!

Dementia.

Proved nothing of the kind.

It sends the message that he will rule as an authoritarian strong man in as much of a dictatorial manner as he can get away with. Consider his awesome power today. He can now order murders of opponents telling the hit men he will pardon them, and be fully immune from prosecution himself for the murder orders (thanks to SCOTUS which he owns) as long as the orders are done as part of his presidential actions. FACT.

Convicted felon Trump actually loves violent felons as long as they're white and doing the violence for him. Law and order president my arse.

If he does nothing, you're right, as he inherits the best economy in the world. But if he carries through with his insane destructive promises, it will be a total caca-fest. Based on day one, it looks like he's going for it.

No tears here. Some vomiting for sure.

Those are very nice but the men they're attached to are nasty. The topic is about the ceremony dress so off topic. As long as we're going off topic, why didn't Trump put his hand on a bible during the oath? Did he know he was lying or is he just a forgetful dotard?

Yeah. Atrocious. But apparently to the maga fascists, it's heaven. 'I'm in hell': Rolling Stone reporter unloads after being forced to cover Trump rally A magazine reporter assigned to cover Donald Trump's pre-inauguration "victory rally" had an intrusive thought that plagued him throughout the event. Asawin Suebsaeng, a senior political reporter for Rolling Stone, attended the twice-impeached convicted felon president's rally Sunday at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., and he found that he kept involuntarily scribbling “this is hell, we live in hell, I’m in Hell”over and over. "The jubilant Village People aside, this is a scenario that we were raised and taught in our schools to believe was not practically or legally possible in our time," Suebsaeng wrote. "This is, we were assured at school, something that occurs in Europe, especially in bygone decades of empire, world wars, and global cold war. Maybe it’s something that unfolds during the democratic backsliding of Latin American nations, particularly the poorer ones. The Middle East. The Philippines. Other places we can’t locate on a map without cheating or a hint, and in countries and regions we can barely deign to pronounce correctly."

Vladimir thanks you for regurgitating Kremlin propaganda.

The real question is how you could think that was a clever thing to say.

The misogyny, racism, and homophobia from some of the presumably pro maga snipers here is so very predictable. I get it. With the installation of the man many call DADDY, who is now going to SPANK people as Putin puppet Tucker Carlson crowed, who is actually called Donald Trump, pro maga people feel empowered to voice every kind of bigotry imaginable.

Stop lying. I think the last and probably only time I commented on M's dressing style when she wore that also BIZARRE message jacket and at the time it was the talk of the internet that everyone was talking about. I realize you love to insult but at least try be accurate about it, Kay? Jacket said -- I really don't care, do u? Travelling to see victims of a disaster. Weird then. Still weird. Will always be weird.

Completely different look and yes Lady Di was stunning, very feminine, and not at all bizarre in that.

You lost me, snookums.

That's an interesting thought. Trump is ruling through FEAR and INTIMIDATION now so that's actually an possibly true theory that she is mirroring that.

Many marriages are transactional. Trump is one of the most transactional person who has ever lived so OF COURSE his relationships are transactional too. Duh. Mary Trump has a lot to say about his psychology on that.

That's true. People are very diverse within stereotypes. I didn't say it wasn't fashionable though. I said it was bizarre and it made a statement. That it was bizarre is obvious but I'm not entirely certain of the statement. I took it to mean she wasn't happy that he won.
