Donald Trump has upended millions of lives in his first 50 days in office

In just 50 days, Donald Trump has upended our world. He has ripped up rules, attacked allies and sided with enemies. A country we thought for decades had our backs is no longer a reliable partner.

 

We travelled thousands of miles to ask what that means for our lives and millions of others - from the sweltering backstreets of Africa to the frozen wastes of Greenland and Finland's tense border with Russia.

.

 

Donald Trump's supporters at home and abroad see him as the disruptor-in-chief who will bring peace and prosperity, putting America first.

But to many others we found he threatens chaos and a far darker future.

Media propagated hysterics of course. Remarkable how people are so easily manipulated by the media.

Wow, you posted this four minutes after the original post and you have watched the entire 56 minute video in those four minutes and decided it is left biased.

How do you expect to be taken seriously? You haven't even watched it!!

Which particular interview did you disagree with? Would love to hear your thoughts on why that interview is misleading or "leftist".

We can all be happy, even loony lefties that Harris isn't causing even more chaos around the world than Trump is.

 

BTW, Trump wasn't elected to be just another do nothing much Washington drone. So far pretty much according to plan, except for Ukraine. Can't win em all.

Disagree with all of it, as with anyone else who’s paying attention. The left is on a 24/7 loop repeating the exact same story line over and over.

Right. You disagree with everything you haven't seen and therefore have no idea what it is about. But it must be bad as the headline said something about Trump. Got it.

You failed to comprehend. There’s nothing new. Why don’t you go watch the video then rerun and let us know what’s different from what you’ve been drowning in with the media.

Can't say he's had much if any effect in my corner of the world so far. The media bleat about him, of course, but they always have, so nothing to worry about.

 

Which isn't to say that things won't heat up once he gets around to telling us to do a better job on the defense front. Something we have in common with Europe is that we are pretty financially embarrassed, due to loony leftie government policies in the past, IMO.

This is true. The lefties are not coping well.

Of course, though the left needs imaginary things to whine about. That’s what this is really about.

Hundreds of millions more likely.

 

Yet, although many of Trump's one-eyed supporters and followers are still wearing their orange coloured glasses, many others have come to the realisation that they have been conned by the snake oil salesman.

 

Time will tell.

The continuing resolution that Republicans are putting forth is yet another sneaky way for them to boost the power of Donald Trump and his financier Elon Musk, and pave the way for the pair to solely decide on issues.
The types of programs that would be cut hurt pretty much anyone you can think of, so get on the phone and pressure your senators to vote ‘no’ on this stopgap disaster.

In terms of nasty and reckless moves, one that stands out for me is the gutting of U.S.A.I.D., because it’s illegal and because it’s so flagrantly immoral and utterly self-destructive.

 

During the first Trump term, I would sometimes have to catch myself because even though I thought and think that Trump is uniquely despicable and dangerous, the fact remains that if you just want to look at the number of lives lost and global damage done, George W. Bush really outstripped him. Trump is maybe a worse person, but the damage that he did in his first term was much more contained.

 

I think that in the second Trump term he’s changed that very quickly. Not just by taking America’s soft power and setting it on fire in all sorts of ways, but really making these abrupt decisions that are going to kill hundreds of thousands and maybe more than a million people and he’s doing it in this incredibly arbitrary, careless way. I don’t think he has a coherent value structure as most of us understand it. I think we’re seeing a president who’s operating without anything any of us would recognize as a conscience. Truly.

 

It is about showing what he can get away with. It’s about showing his enemies that what they support, he can tear down. It is all about displays of brute strength. He gets off on that, and in that sense, it seems not so much an autocracy but a flexocracy. Let me show you how I can flex my bicep as I use it to power my fist coming into your face.

 

It’s not about any coherent values. It’s not about any North Star. It’s about showing that you can turn the boat 180 degrees around and that you can do whatever you want and you can bring the people who opposed you to their knees.

 

You see Trump’s approval rating, which was positive for the first couple of weeks of his administration, is already underwater, although only slightly. His numbers in polls on the economy are pretty bad. But the information environment is so bad that it’s not clear to me how much people are making the connection between, say, Trump saying that he can’t rule out a recession and the value of their retirement portfolio crashing. I thought it was a remarkable moment when Trump retweeted — or retruthed ——

 

Trump’s idea of power. If I can destroy, if I can defile and march on relatively unscathed and unpunished, that makes me powerful. Other people can’t get away with it, but that’s how dominant and superior I am.
