I realize many of you outside of the US see Trump as more of the same. But I can promise you had Harris won we would all be vaporized by now. You can see that by the fact that the Biden administration is still trying to hit Russia with missiles. They would have wasted no time lobbing projectiles at Moscow because the neocons for whatever reason think Putin doesnโt mean what he says. ๐
I have said this frequentlyโฆ Trump is NOT an intellectual. He is a billionaire construction worker. Which is why he is able to communicate very deftly with the American people. At heart the American PEOPLE are good people. However,sadly most of them are not deep thinkers or well, very bright. Both sides, people who identify as right and those who identify as left are pretty ignorant about things that go on outside of the country in their name. Add to that years of brainwashing by government educationโฆwell itโs just a mess. I actually had a two sentence interaction with a woman who said she hated Russia because they were communists. Sigh ๐
I voted for Trump not because Iโm a super fan but because I have grandchildren and I decided that they actually had a chance of surviving under Trump. My family were my motivation. Yes I know Trump is trapped in the 1990s when it comes to geopolitics. But heโs not an ideologue. He can be reasoned with. And therein lies the difference. We all know that Harris would not be running the country sheโs drunk and stupid. Hillary, the Cheneys, the Bush family and Larry Fink would beโฆuntil they too succumb to their own fate.
100% tariffs is stupid and will only hurt the US. At some point SOMEONE will have the courage to talk Trump out of this idiocy. He probably also isnโt aware that China is buying US dollars from US allies. And Trump also doesnโt seem to understand those dollars can be used against us.
America has raised several generations of stupid people and they are about to get an education. The difference is Trump may bankrupt the country, you can always try to rebuild whatโs broken but if you are vaporized thereโs no coming back from that.
