Four More Years!

"Every time that Mr. Trump opens his mouth, he creates new allies for all of us [leaders of other nations]. So let’s get organized! To fight back against a big, powerful bully, you need strength in numbers." - Jean Chretien (former Prime Minister of Canada), January 14, 2025

This is the part that Trump lies about all the time -- the leaders of other nations are laughing at him (and the US for electing him).

• Watch the footage of the rededication of Notre Dame in France; leaders were literally pointing and laughing at him.
• Look at how Denmark, Canada, and Panama have replied with disdain to Trump's threats of war against their nations. And, mark my words, saying you're going to use military might to annex some or all of a country's sovereign land is AN ACT OF WAR.
• Review how the leader of Mexico scornfully schooled Trump on the history of the Americas, trade in general, and how his own USMCA trade agreement ("NAFTA 2.0") works.
• Israel and Hamas are working hard on a ceasefire with a due date of January 20th because they both know how destabilizing Trump will be to their region.
• Watch all the videos of various leaders, both within and without the US, schooling Trump on how tariffs actually work because he doesn't understand the concept.

Oh, and all of this is BEFORE HE EVEN TAKES OFFICE! Imagine how bad it will be once he is sworn in and starts putting his plan into action.

The US will have to implement Trump's "America-first" plan because the rest of the world doesn't want to deal with him. The US's leadership role, which expanded and improved under Biden after the disastrous first Trump term, will shrink again. China will take over the US's leadership role again. The voters in America couldn't have done Xi and Putin any bigger favor than electing an idiot who doesn't understand business or politics, let alone international diplomacy, to office once more.

When you add to this all the (much smarter) business leaders in America and around the world scrambling to take advantage of Trump's idiotic policies once more, you have a recipe for the utter collapse of the US economy. During his last term, Trump had people who were smart enough to deflect and defuse most of his worst decisions and keep the economy running, even during the disaster that was his response to the COVID outbreak. This time around, he's only allowing sycophants and acolytes access, so the American economy will likely break, its international diplomacy will crumble, and America will be left all alone in the world, with everyone else pointing and laughing at Trump.

The US is in for another very painful four years, probably worse than Trump's first four.
