Trump is putting BRICS nations on notice, threatening them with a full-blown trade war if they attempt to sideline the U.S. dollar in global commerce.

In a fiery Truth Social post on Thursday night, the president declared that any country backing an alternative currency would be hit with 100 percent tariffs and effectively cut off from American markets. Trump made it clear there would be no room for negotiation, dismissing any possibility of an international shift away from the dollar.

    Regardless of whether the world forgives us, it should never rely on us again.

      It’ll be for your own good too. Once exceptionalism gets a few black eyes, you won’t feel so emboldened to ram self-serving agendas on whoever you like. Not you personally of course. ☺️

      I’ve already forgiven. The last 4 seasons of The Dumpster Fire were absolutely wild, and I’ve enjoyed countless hours of the most bizarre entertainment I never even dared to ask for. The fifth seasons is already off to a great start, and I have high hopes for the season finale. Calling this a “wild ride” has already turned out to be the understatement of the year.

        We’re only 10 days since the inauguration. This feels like a speedrun to the end. I can’t even imagine what we’ll look like even 6 months from now.

          Speedrun + all the achievements, hall of shame + meme run + crazy modded challenges etc.

          • Give a public speech with literally only lies, zero facts

          • Promise to do something, but later actually do the exact opposite. For example, promise to support the coal industry, but actually end up shutting it down entirely.

          • highest concentration of falsehood, as in lies per hour

          • largest catastrophe ever caused by a president (economic, health, safety, moral, etc)

          • Longest section of a speech that makes no sense at all.

          • Cause maximum harm to the environment

          • Turn a democracy into a dictatorship. See also: Benito Mussolini

          I suspect that by the time Trump is done a lot of Americans have moved to other countries. Putin also did the same with all the smart Russians. Everyone who could leave, did so before the borders were closed.
