Boycott of US goods spreading worldwide poor donald

He couldn’t give a rat’s arse. He continues down this path for his own gain and not because he cares about all of his “blind” supporters. 
Bring on the mid-terms.

In giving Israel a carte blanche to commit genocide in the Gaza, Trump has engendered hatred for the US and support for terrorist organizations throughout the Middle East which will last for generations to come.

Not genocide.

The left claimed there would be no more elections if Trump was elected.

From the Financial Times, “The Costly End of the EU’s ‘Peace Dividend’”:

Europe enjoyed its years of low military spending thanks to a prolonged period of protection from the US, allowing it to build one of the most generous social security systems in the world… Across the EU, social protection has grown as a share of total government spending, rising from 36.6 per cent in 1995 to 41.4 per cent on the eve of the pandemic… While higher borrowing can cover some initial outlays… the cost of rearmament will ultimately be shouldered by taxpayers and beneficiaries of the continent’s social security nets.

Teslas for example - hang about, aren't they made in Shanghai?

I believe the name has been changed by Trump to Tesler.

Nobody needs Trump and few outside of the US want him around, except of course Russia, China, Iran etc.

'Unfortunately it seems many Americans think aggressive nationalism is the solution to their issues which will bite them in the arse'

 

Why as an AUSTRALIAN NON AMREICAN do you think you speak for actual Americans? You speak for nobody but yourself.

Stop the projection ., you are obessed by the Orange man who is NOT your President 

 

Again read the forum rules, your repetition of uninformed views are tedious. What goes  on in USA, even domestically, can flow through to international policy decisions. I I am concerned US domestic policy decisions are setting very poor examples for Western democracies with the creeping authoritarian trends in the US.

Trump does not need Canada.

 

However, even the Canadians know, Canada needs Trump.

 

 

Canada supplies 50% of America's oil. All the electricity for the north-eastern corridor, including New York.

 

What have you been smoking?

Some time...

If price of oil rises due to some cut-off of Canadian oil to the USA, then this will be a very good thing for America and the World.

Let the Canadians keep their shale, which is the dirtiest among hydrocarbons.

 

And, America needs to stop using Canada's oil...like...

TOMORROW...

Duh...

 

Americans still don't understand this key point.

US stocks and funds in a deep drop after January meanwhile Europeans are going through the roof. I will avoid investing in America for the next four years.

Canada has oil sands and shale. The oil sands are Canada's most prolific source of oil.

 

America has shale.

 

Weaning America off oil is like taking a baby's pacifier.

You can have BK and Wendy's.

• ARPANET (1960s):

  The US government's Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) developed ARPANET, which was the first operational packet-switching network and the precursor to the global internet. 

   

  World Wide Web (1989):

  Tim Berners-Lee, a British scientist working at CERN, invented the World Wide Web (WWW) in 1989, which made it easier for people to access and share information online.

Just so you folks don't get me wrong ......  

 

I love America and I love American people, I have a two American friends who I have a beer with. 

 

But I don't like American Trump and some of the things he's implemented.

And I certainly don't like Musk or Tesla cars. 

 

I love you guys but it is what it is for now anyway ....   

 

cheers   !

i'm on my 4th bottle ... Lol

Easy.

Just give it a slap across the face.

 

Yes.

Oil Sands.

Should have said oil sands.

But too lazy to spell the extra word.

Thought nobody would notice.

Both dirty, however.

And highly polluting to extract.

Human Beings are complete and utter FOOLS.

So...then...Die.

Haha.

We will probably all go due to Space Wars, anyway.

Nukes in Space is not a good idea.

Militarization of space is a worse idea.

Humans will never learn, and this is what makes this species so dangerous.

Once they have killed almost everything, and nothing much left to kill, then...

They just begin killing themselves.

 

Evolved this way, of course.

I'm American and considering the Putin loving fascist government in D.C. (freely elected or not) the time has come for Americans to need to feel the pain of their horrific mistake in order for there to be any hope at all at recovering.
