Give aid and comfort to dictators, and make enemies out of your allies.

For heavens sake not. It would mean the end of the "American Dream". Much of it was financed by "foreighners", buying US Treasury Bills/Bonds. If China alone would withdraw it's US treasury holdings, Wall Street would take the dive of the cenury.

 

As of January 25, 2025, China held $768.6 billion of US debt, making it the second largest foreign holder of US debt. Japan is the largest foreign holder. 

 

Which is not much.

He was elected due to dirty money in politics. THAT'S the primary reason, billionaires basically bought this election. A secondary but almost equally as important reason is the Democratic party has become just as corrupt and clueless as to what the people need. Harris would NEVER have been the candidate if a fair primary had been offered, she had already lost one primary, and was shoved down the voters' throats this election.

 

I will remember to the day I die an MSNBC talking head Michael Steele emphatically telling people "Joe Biden is going to be the candidate, so just suck it up!" Really? REALLY?!?   The people had been telling the Dem leadership that sleepy, pervy Joe was NOT who they wanted and you're going to tell them to "just suck it up?" Then when it became abundantly clear after that first debate how Sleepy Joe would lose, Harris was the only alternative? Pleeeeeeeeze.

 

I honestly don't see how Democrats will recover from this in my lifetime. They're flopping around like dying fish out of water. They could not have selected a whiter guy as the new DCCC leader (except maybe Mike Pence). Clueless.

 

To answer your question "What is so terribly wrong?" - It's dirty money and corruption from both parties.

 

I'm trying to figure out how billionaires bought this election.  Help me out.

I  am just gobsmacked so many people voted for someone who is going to throw them under a bus.

 

It's like the turkeys voted for Christmas, and that's what 50% of Americans are.

 

 

Which bus is that? Kamala wanted higher taxes, sloppy borders, wokeness and more Biden inflation.

 

I'm gobsmacked people still don't get it. 

 

Most Americans were better off under Trump last time. Why they elected him again.

 

Not hard to understand.

It's so absurd. 

 

"Intelligent people are the ones who wanted to vote a man who clearly had dementia and was also very clearly lying about it into office.  And once that fraud was exposed, the intelligent people wanted to vote for a completely incompetent DEI hire who had literally no policies and was unable to speak about anything."

 

This is not an example of intelligence.

Currently, Donalds approval rating is around 53 % in the US, while the rest of the "western world" wonders how something like this could have happened.

Wondering how a guy can put "the western alliance" in jeopardy that has benefitted all the members of this alliance since WW2.

 

In Europe, the Person that is named Donald J.Trump is being considered as a pompous, erratic, overbearing character. If not for his money and fame, he would be spending his time in a psychiatric institution for his own good. General consensus.

 

Europeans are still puzzeled: What is so terribly wrong with the political/economical system in the US, that has elevated Donald into the highest office that this nation has to offer?

 

Me, and the overwhelming majority of Europeans would just like to know why the American electorate came to the conclusion, that the time is ripe for a person like Donald. Or, in other words: What is so terribly wrong in the US that made them vote for Donald?

 

I look foreward to many contributions from US posters. The more, the better. It might help Europeans to better understand what is happening in the US. Europeans (and the rest of the "free world) hunger for an explanation, boiling down to 1 word = WHY?

 

Mix American wrestling and Sopranos, and you got the essens of the American mentality + God Bless the good American people for their rights to do what they want, the way they want.

We're not at the key 100 days yet, but Trumpf is on course for the second lowest first 100 days Approval Rating since Approval ratings were first recorded. At least he's 4 points up on that loser from 2017. Most US Presidents are given the benefit of the doubt when they first enter office, except that loser of a number 45. Most people don't want a US President to actually fail.
