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.

'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.

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?

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.
