Not just that, I did business in Europe during the Bush II administration and all the Euros disgusted by his policies noted that they didn't consider us to be that same problem.
Even some of the far right wing ones give Black Americans some slack but I ain't trying to hang with them
George Conway: Trump ‘wants to have revenge on the United States of America’
by Sarah Fortinsky - 02/26/25 11:32 AM ETConservative lawyer George Conway said President Trump’s bold changes to the federal government reveal an effort to “destroy” its institutions and exact “revenge” on the country.
“This is an attempt — basically, Donald Trump wants to have revenge on the United States of America,” Conway, a fierce Trump critic, said in an interview on MSNBC.
“He doesn’t care about what anything does,” he continued. “He’s appointed [Elon] Musk, given him free rein. Musk has no idea what anything does.”
Since returning to the White House, Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Musk, has taken several steps to shrink the federal government and curb waste, including mass layoffs likely to impact hundreds of thousands of government employees.
Conway was asked in the interview whether he thinks the president will change his approach now that he’s starting to see some resistance to his actions — including by federal workers who quit the department that became DOGE over security concerns and by Republican voters who have challenged their representatives at town hall meetings.
“My guess is that they just want to burn it all down,” Conway said about the Trump administration. “I mean, I don’t see any rationality in what they’re doing other than that it is a performative attack on the government, and it is an attempt to destroy what they perceive to be as the enemy, which is the very government that they are charged with administering.”

That's what Trump and Elon want
Don't we also have the least amount of resources that can potentially back the usd (for however long it holds up) if necessary?
A tarrif is a penalty to Americans for purchasing non American products but America barely makes shyt so it's not like mafukkas will just be paying tarrifs on shyt that they could avoid.

This is a strange game of chicken.
We import significantly more than we export, creating a trade deficit. In other words, how buy more than we sell. These US tariffs lessen our deficit, in theory, because it will encourage less imports......that's if you ignore the internal economic repercussions of making importing more expensive and the lack of home born facilities that could make up for the lost imports........or how this could eat into our export revenue, completely undermining the goal of the tariffs in the first place.
And if the EU decides to tariff us back, not only will this trigger a trade war, automatically making China a winner, our trade deficits would skyrocket. From there its going to be game of who can endure ther hurt more than the other. I think Trump is hedging his bets on the US winning. In a normal timeline, we would outlast the EU but everyone hates the US now and China exists.
China exports less than they import, our opposite. And they trade with untouchables like Russia and NK., not to mention they soft power "run" Asia. Trump setting up China to be the wealthy middle man. You notice how he ain't putting 25% on China right? China can take the pain for a bit. China is damn near on every continent and they setting up shop in our backyard in South America.
These tariffs alone wouldn't be as back but Trump is doing this a month into his term, while gearing up to add upward of 1 million Americans to the unemployment line, during rising inflation, while increasing government spending and getting rid of bureaucratic safety nets.
Its giving vulture capitalism
