The Trump Presidency - Part 2

Waiting for Taylor Swift to tell them what to do. But you’re dreaming if you think a crowd who couldn’t bother their arses going out to vote against a second term of Trump, are now going to mobilise for protests.
I was talking about those that voted against Trump. Must have been a couple.
 
Where‘s the opposition at in the US currently? One would assume massive demonstrations from the get go but from the outside it appears rather quiet.

Many of them are in the "let's all blame the stupid minorities for not voting biden" or the "let's all hope bad things happen to minorities who voted trump" phase.

These are the people who watched their guy commit genocide and just shrugged. They haven't realized the politics of hate trump brought to the table has also affected them.
 
Why would they demonstrate against a lawfully elected president? Trump is the one the majority of people wanted.
Should we cancel every protest or demonstration in every democratic country?

The US is speed running into an oligarchy run by a man with clearly authoritarian intentions and a lot of folks are about to have their lives turned upside down. I think those are pretty valid grounds for protest mate.
 
And just think, this is the bit we’ll be wishing we could return to a few months down the road. Truly bleak times ahead, unless you are in alignment with people like this.
 
So seems like the danes considers that Trump is serious about Greenland

Surely it depends a bit on what they mean about serious?

Do they mean he’s gonna bluster and tariff and if they just hold out for 4 years, there will be a return to a more normal person?

Or that he’s literally going to invade? Not much Denmark can realistically do in that scenario but you feel it would be the end of the western order and Europe should start to see the USA as a genuine enemy. China would start to look much more reasonable around the world too.
 
Certainly is not worse than genocide. Still horrible. But i prefer my family to be ethnically cleansed than killed. Keep trying. Some of you dont get it. What is worse than genocide?
Belief that genocide would not have happened under Trump. That's simply fairly tale thinking. You'll discover soon enough anyway.

Edit: What do you think will happen to the families who refuse to be "cleansed".

You pretty much summed it up.

Military invasion appart that would be a declaration of war to the EU (and france has nukes).

If he menace denmark with tariffs as the same way menaced spain eith 100% tariffs (bc the moron thought it was BRICS). Will see the EU how it reacts when individual countries of the union are individually targeted
 
Really interesting video that blows a hole in the theory that the US can be oil independent, not political in any way, just states facts that most people have no idea about, well worth watching

 
They are not theirs (ddnmark) to give or sell

I was obviously not bekng serious

I mean, by now we should have learned that nothing can really be ruled out in case of Trump and the US. Normally, invading a EU country should be economic and thus political suicide but he could probably just blame the others as the aggressors, claim they'd left him no choice like NATO did to Russia and all his acolytes will cheer him again. So sadly, I don't think an invasion is completely impossible.

At this point, nuclear weapons seem to be the only reliable option to ensure your country's sovereignty since the biggest powers in the world seem to act unpredictably.

They should protest against the democratic party being completely incompetent. Demonstrating against Trump would be fruitless
 
At this rate, he's going to absolutely demolish the USA's relationships around the world. The America's and Europe...what's next? Japan or Australia?
You do get the feeling that he is a Russian agent sometimes. Baffling how he can do this shit to his neighbors and allies.
 


They also export $3t. Tariffs can work in both directions.

I also assume the export figures don't include US based companies with franchises in other countries.

Would love to see this pigheadedness backfire, rather than seeing world leaders appeasing the geriatric nonce*.

And certaintly with a 67% tariffs, the imports (also exports) would plumet so he would not cash in near that money

Countries are takkng notes of this bully behaviour and will comply in short term till they find alternatives elsewhere
