So Sad. The people Trump has f@cked the most are his own voters. How Trump's MAGA Agenda Is Already Sticking It To Red America The effects of DOGE and potential cuts to Medicaid are likely to hit communities where Donald Trump is popular. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-musk-cuts-red-states_n_67af8d57e4b0513a8d77218b
I'm not the "tough guy" here... Trump is. You better join Freddie's study-group or you're gonna fail your citizenship exam and wind up toting a shovel with the rest of the "no-maga" Canooks in the rare earth element mines of Greenland. Granted, it's not as bad as Siberia, but it certainly should be food for thought from where you sit. I wouldn't want to be sent there.
That's been the common theme of Trump's proposals and threats to buy Greenland, Canada, Panama Canal, Ukraine... He wants their valuable resources or wants to use foreign aid as a bargaining chip for access to their resources. Yet, Canada is a little different...there's already a South African Canadian in control of the United States government agencies who was not elected and did not need to go through any type of confirmation process, and trying to gain access to the U.S. Treasury Department. His name is Elon Musk. A coup by Canada (a Canadian) without using make shift weapons, without threatening to hang the U.S. Vice President, and without a violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol... He did it while making Nazi salutes and catering to far-right groups. Now lets see if Elon Musk or Tom Homan can stop thousands of illegal weapons being smuggled and trafficked from the U.S. into Canada. In my opinion, it's a much bigger problem than immigrants and Fentanyl crossing from Canada into the United States. https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/l...isis/287-11ebf9ae-6e11-4557-b6c6-f4902d4c016e ...United States smugglers often buy guns for $500 to $600 in the U.S. and sell them in Canada for $7,000 to $9,000, creating a lucrative illegal market.... Canadian authorities have traced more than 21,000 firearms used in crimes back to the U.S., according to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). The consequences have been deadly. wrbtrader
Another foreigner pretending to be an American after creating a new username. Yet, accordingly to my U.S. military buddies...grocery store prices, gas prices and inflation are already creeping back up since Trump's tariff threats and threats to take over other countries (by military if necessary...his words). Increasing prices for us Americans is the cost of living pain that Trump stated "could occur" because of his tariff threats. Actually, the cost of living pain is occurring after months of decline which is something he currently will not admit. Just as troubling, the cost of living pain is now occurring before tariffs officially kicks in because it's currently in a one month pause. Trump has underestimated what will happen when our trading partners get together and announce their own counter-tariffs. https://apnews.com/article/trump-inflation-tariffs-prices-consumer-50c4738216756499c8cdc17ab77d6d4f https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/busines...onomy-us-inflation-picks-up-ahead-of-tariffs/ The consumer price index increased by the most since August 2023, led by a range of household expenses like groceries and gas, as well as housing costs. The other negative, it decreases the chances for the FED to give a rate cut...as in later than sooner. In addition, tourism by Canadians to the United States has begun declining after many months of increasing...coping with uncertainty from the current economic environment, including the threat of tariffs. Now European tourism to the United States on the decline after Trump hinted to tariffs on Europe. When Trump was asked by the BBC if there was a timeline for announcing tariffs on the EU, Trump said: "I wouldn't say there's a timeline, but it's going to be pretty soon." That's lost revenue for the United States even before tariffs officially kick in. ~case closed or ~tit for tat wrbtrader
Come back to reality. You can see what Canadians think of you people these days at any hockey game where they play the US anthem. The only impact Trump will have on my life is it appears he's going to cut my daughter's tax rate ( she's a 1%er residing in the US these days ). Plus some trading opportunities I'm loving the commodity space in recent weeks.
Let's see how you feel about him in 3 years. Seriously he's a clown with zero understanding of the economy. Nobodies going to give up or give in to him other than cult members.
The World Is Tired of Indulging Americans Americans love to complain that the world "looks down on them." They think it’s about jealousy or anti-American bias. It’s not. The world is just sick of indulging them. Sick of the endless self-congratulation, how generous they are, how much they’ve sacrificed, how they work harder than anyone else. In reality, they confuse long hours with productivity, motion with progress, and sacrifice with entitlement. They believe their generosity absolves them of responsibility, yet much of their “aid” comes with strings attached. Meanwhile, they demand sympathy for their struggles while remaining oblivious to the suffering they’ve exported, economic, political, and environmental. Muslims and Russians would have been put to bed decades ago were it not for the proxy wars. The rest of the world carries on, adapting, surviving, and often outpacing them in innovation and resilience. And then there’s the strange phenomenon of unfuckable American men. So many of who having burnt their bridges at home, look abroad for company. In most cultures, men are expected to grow into wise, steady elders, the kind of grandfathers who pass down knowledge and perspective. But in America, too many men seem to age in reverse, regressing into petulant, self-absorbed teenagers. They chase youth, throw tantrums about change, and expect to be coddled for simply existing. America is still powerful, because of immigrant energy mostly, but the days of unquestioning deference are over. The world no longer sees them as a guiding light. They’re just another country now, one that needs to prove itself rather than demand admiration. The world doesn’t hate America. It’s just done making excuses for it, Bush's second term and now Trump? F Off.
