Haha, If you guys read and actually believe this type of crap then there isn't any wonder you all post the stuff you do.

I think a few of could do with a TTO, a Trump Time Out, go for a nice Stroll on a quiet beach, look at the stars and listen to the waves.

Remember, Trump has already served 1 term and you survived, we all did, the earth didn't fall....and it won't this time despite what you read in 'the paper' 

He should be serving this term in the monkey house

Oh come on now, cool down. Trump is doing the (only) thing he knows how to - a TV show. The man makes a spectacle because he wants to be in spotlight all the time.

 

And you know that's the same as advertising... I don't care what you write about me, as long as you get my name right"

 

The rest of the World is forming new alliances and trade agreements at a much faster pace than was expected just end of last year, and I'm confident, eventually bypassing US and trading among themselves, coming up with their own financial systems. Who would lead that "new system"? China? EU? BRICS? Don't know, but the sad part is that many Americans will be far worse off much sooner than they are expecting. US doesn't produce much locally, due to the greed of early corporations, undercutting competitors with cheap Chinese labour, which forced much of manufacturing out of the US, and rebuilding something like that in the age of globalisation will be close to impossible during Trump's 2nd term, possibly 3rd if he manages to push that through.

 

During this time, US soft power will diminish, and the special treatment their companies and people get abroad will go away as well, the pressure US can slam on someone through threat of, or actual sanctions would disappear as others move to alternative financial platforms.

 

I agree with Trump that something has to be done about US economy and especially the debt. And I admit that I believe it's gone too far for any easy solutions so in his position, I don't know what I would do to reverse that trend, but cutting costs and increasing revenue does make sense from financial perspective. But what he is largely putting aside is the century of good deeds that US has done for the rest of the World, which has gotten it into the position of global leadership and respect, and it's sad looking at all that great effort being removed in a couple of months by acts that lacked any kind of medium to long term impact assessment, and are more than likely to result in devastation to US economy and the lives of majority of Americans.

 

The rest of the World will suffer as well. But unlike what some people think, the rest of the World is a lot bigger than the US, has 20x more population, and is more than capable to establish their own alliances.

 

You don't start a trade war, especially to those who are holding nearly all of your debt, unless you are self-sufficient, which US absolutely is not. Nobody can survive in isolation, no matter how strong. If you only trade with yourself, you cannot create any added value, you're simply circulating the same wealth between the same people, and only way you can grow it, is by printing more, which leads to inflation, and lowering the worth of it.

 

What's worse than retaliation tariffs on US is the boycotting of US products. When that happens, when consumers find alternatives, even if all of this is reversed, American companies will find it extremely difficult to regain the foothold, especially with perception of their government. And with negative perception or even anger of Trump, that is quite likely.

 

There are some very dark times ahead for the US. And that's exactly why the constitutions and laws are written so they separate power. To prevent unchecked acts to cause a major devastation to the country with nobody able or willing to stop it.

 

So yes, 2nd of April will be a Liberation day. Probably most celebrated in China, as the World will be "liberated" from the US influence.

 

A sad day, indeed, for the World, but especially for Americans, who will very soon start to notice how it feels to no longer be special.

You mention that something needs to be done about the US debt seeming to agree to Trump's tariff plan - the only thing he is planning for that is the income generated from his plan working (which I truly doubt) would pay for the tax break for the billionaires and their corporations, and not passed on to Joe Citizen. who seems to be headed for a recession caused by Trump and who can least afford to survive, unlike the rich.  MO and agree that the rest of the world will not be so rosy if the US falters totally also IMHO.

Maybe he's spending the weekend hanging out in the locker rooms at the golf tournament, and later on he'll be telling the press about their weenie sizes, which he has done before.

I only hope this is true, but for Trump to really have a "downfall," many US citizens will have to give up their support of him, and that will be hard for them to do. To do that would mean they would have to admit, at least to themselves, that they were wrong about him. That's going to be a real challenge for them. And then there are some who actually have the same values. They won't quit supporting him. But, I do hope he and his supporters do have a complete "downfall, " and that happens very, very soon.

I'm totally neutral in US politics but if Trump is the best candidate the Dems can come up with what's that say about the Democrat Party in general.

 

Totally ... neutral?

The constitution is constantly amended, relax.

 

It can survive a little modification.

 

No big deal.

 

27 amendments including the first 10 which were approved immediately.

So 17 over the life of the nation, hardly constantly.

 

If you look into the procedure for amending you will see that it is in fact a big deal and not easily done.

More difficult now with 50 states than it was with fewer states.

Per the topic heading:

 

Donald Trump standing in the White House Rose Garden saying that, with his Tariff and trade policy agenda:

 

"With today’s action we are finally going to be able to make America great again — greater than ever before ... Jobs and factories will come roaring back into our country."

Yep, as they all said the same thing about the need for immigration control while campaigning, but only Pres. Trump followed through and did something about it.

Just like Biden trimmed the bloated government bureaucracy a tad, but only Trump is really getting it done.

I agree that doing nothing is not a good way forward, and something needs to be done to get the debt, spiraling out of control, back in check. But HOW Trump approached it, destroying the global economy and doubling down on something that is very unlikely to work for US, and would probably affect US even more than others. So no, I don't agree with this tariffs. But agree with likely outcome of his ill conceived actions on Joe Citizen and the rest of the World.

I wasn't aware that Democrats wanted the government to take control of production away from capitalists and turn it over to workers.

Got a link to info that supports your characterization? Or is this just an instance of you spewing reflexively?

Remember the walls are closing in, prison awaits  etc  before he got elected again  same same but slightly different.

He will build his own prison. He won't be able to get out and nobody will be able get in to help him. 

Hopefully, he will become aware of this and will suffer accordingly as events constrain him.

The world can only hope.For most of us - Som nam na!
