He’s the president of the United States of America, and he’s putting the US first. What makes him a cry baby? Oh, suddenly the leftists don’t have anyone to pick cotton?
The general issue with actions like this is that you expend political capital. You can build political capital in a lot of ways, but many of Trumps actions burn through it rather than build.
Why this matters is that the USA benefits from being a/the world leader, but that can only continue while other countries want that. Once the US shows itself to be unreliable or obstructive countries will look to places like China instead. So short term gains, long term costs - just like how many companies in America act.
Political capital? Dude never had any. And deporting illegal immigrants was one of his campaign promises.
And world leader? More like the world’s ATM. We send so much money to developed nations it’s ridiculous. That’s why other countries are upset, the gravy train stopped.
imagine looking at US hegemony and control over the world’s economies and thinking you’re doing everyone a favor. I guarantee you most nations would be happier if the US stayed the fuck out.
Typical ignorant conservative seeing the world at face value. I’m glad to see some sense from your peers in this thread.
I’m not advocating for it to continue, it’s just too bad we’ll have to try to survive the collapse of the American empire.
There were ways to end it that won’t result in so much suffering but we’re doing it the hard way. The United States will never recover from this, hopefully its people can
Putting America first by putting it last, bold move let’s see if it pays off ( it won’t). Everything makes him a cry baby, he’s a butthurt snowflake and, like a toddler with a full diaper he’s making it everyone’s problem. Nice dog whistle. Don’t you worry about cotton being picked, the 13th amendment will ensure there is abundant slave labour to enrich the masters.
He’s putting himself first, and America last. He’s so weak he couldn’t deal with Colombia before trying to sneak abused prisoners into their country.
He got played by Brazil putting the last plane load all over the media. Leading to Colombia stopping flights in the first place. Because his pea brain only sees making more people suffer as the next step to isolate America from the world and destroy our alliances.
Did Trump not just run an entire campaign with the idea of reducing groceries being a major plank of his campaign? You’re arguing in bad faith. EVERYBODY wants cheap food.
Trump had promised cheap food, but instead is going to cause the cost of food to skyrocket. Because he doesn’t give a fuck about migrant workers, or about domestic workers, and doesn’t have a plan in place to deal with the sudden loss of 99% of the labour that harvests the food that YOU eat every day. Food you’ve been eating all your life and also never gave a fuck about migrant workers, but suddenly NOW you care about them, for SOME REASON. But you’re still eating the food. Bad faith arguments and bullshit.
“Won” as if it’s a competition. Still doesn’t make trump any less a snow flake cry baby.

Well if you guys are unhappy with it, and the US tax payer is unhappy with it, then why continue?

because only left wingers consume agricultural products, naturally…
No, but only Democrats want an oppressed people to work in their fields.
