Will the Trump Tarriff Attack on Thailand be met with backlash against American expats here?
It was his cult that promoted the violent clashes in the first place when he got ousted last time so time for a bit of payback me thinks -

Were they carrying any boxes full of paperwork from a certain collapsed building in Bangkok? -

Why are Cambodian people so friendly?
Regarding accommodation, you may find this website of interest (rather than me rattling along!). I believe it is an Australian/Khmer company - no Chinese- and is popular throughout Cambodia. Select your filter properties for example Siem Reap/apartments/ 250$ per month and see the results for rent or buy. Please remember less expensive apartments are rented very quickly and, as I previously stated, there are no tall condo blocks. I rent the complete first floor of a new villa in a suburb for 350US$ per month. There are two toilet/shower rooms, one in the bedroom and one in the lounge. I pay extra for electricity (which is more expensive than in Thailand because we have to buy from Thailand.) Government water supply is included as is waste disposal. I share the internet cost with my landlord. Fans throughout with air-con in the bedroom. https://ips-cambodia.com/advanced-search/ Regarding medical facilities, they are less advanced than in Thailand. There is one large Government Hospital in Siem Reap part of which has recently been rebuilt, with other areas modernised, from aid donated by Japan. However, there are many private clinics and some private hospitals, the most horrendously expensive being The Royal Angkor, Bangkok Hospital Group. ( Need I say more!). I use the Neak Tep Private hospital which is sufficient for most illnesses, but should I need more specialised advice and treatment, I and many Cambodians, cross the border to Thai hospitals in Ubon Ratchathani. I am also a registered patient with the private Ratchaphruek Hospital in Khon Kaen (Thailand) and recently drove there (7 hours) for specialist orthopedic treatment. I trust this information will be of use. Enjoy life - I do! -

The operative word being "could." Also, why are they only banned during Songkran? I would love to know how many actually get fined because I am sure they will out and about on those roads. -

Trump’s Tariff Strategy: US can no longer act as the world's economic shock absorber
Wow, very well written whomever wrote this. No other President besides Trump, possibly not even the great President Reagan, could have had the guts to impose these tariffs. If Trump is successful, he will go down in history as one of the greatest Presidents that the U.S. had ever had. -

If a president of a superpower wanted to destroy his own country, what steps would he take?
Yo, MAGAs...please tell us how Biden followed the ChatGPT outline and destroyed the US. Under Biden, the economy boomed. Growth was highest since the late 1990s, US growth from 2021-2024 was three times the average of G7 nations, post-Covid inflation was brought down faster in the US than any other major nation, more jobs were created under Biden than under any POTUS ever, 800,000 new manufacturing jobs were created, ground was broken on the first US chip plants in decades, massive infrastructure repairs took place, the US was respected around the world, the stock market performed well and even made hundreds of billions for guys like Zuckerberg, Bezos, Musk and Ellison, and the average American's net worth jumped (unless one was a MAGA, as they seem to have missed out on the greatest opportunity to get wealthy ever). Heck, even crime dropped, as it tends to do in times of abundance. So, MAGAs, go through the list generated by AI. Point out what Biden did per those lists and how that "destroyed" America. Those of us who saw our fortunes grow since 2021 wonder where this "destruction" is, but it would be nice to have more of the same, instead of the obvious carnage we are experiencing since 20 January 2025. It's quite clear that the crashing markets are going to hurt Consumer Confidence, already at a multi-year low. Over the next few months unemployment is going to move upward, probably to 6% before Autumn, and maybe 8% by 2026. The deficit is going to get even worse, as the combo of a declining economy and job losses at the IRS (the IRS itself estimated tax cheating is going to add $500,000,000,000 per year to the deficit, as fewer IRS staff will be unable to chase tax cheats), relationships with former allies are in tatters, and the US is in great danger of losing the foreign buyer of US Treasury debt. Who is going to step in and replace foreign money, and at what price? Oh, and MAGAs, please refrain from saying justice was "weaponized" under Biden. Al Capone could make a more reasonable claim than POTUS, who stole and lied about taking highly classified documents, tried to overthrow the results of the election, called his goobers to DC knowing what they would do, and then pardoning the very terrorists who beat and bear sprayed 140 police and tried to hang the sitting Vice President. He was indicted because all the evidence suggested he committed crimes.
