    I am scared of the country called Europe. I don’t where that country exists but Trump makes it sound scary. Europe a country now? What an idiot. Reminds me of this who knew she was talking about Trump

    Yeah how dare people get pissed off that Trump is single handily destroying the economy with his dumbass tariffs. How dare people get pissed off that their retirement accounts are collapsing.

    The economy is tanking. Get a grip and look around you

    Anyone with money in the stock market is getting destroyed right now. If the economy was booming and people were obsessing about Trump then you would have the right to call them deranged.

    The economy is tanking and the Federal Reserve claims were in a recession right now. Folks have the right to be pissed

    Yeah you're not getting destroyed cuz its only been 3 months and we're still in the Biden economy. His dumbass universal tariffs are going into place next week which is when the pain will happen.

    Again none of these dumbass tariffs are necessary at all. He's single handily destroying the economy and you're yelling at people upset about losing money.

    People have the right to be pissed off at dumbass policies which is taking money away from them.

    Difference being at any point trump can cancel his dumbass tariff plan and the economy would be booming. Trump is single handily destroying the economy. Biden didn't destroy the economy with his dumbass policies. The stock market nd job market boomed under biden.

    I dont give a **** about culture war garbage. Trump deserves all the heat he's getting cuz hes destroying the economy nd costing people real money.

    Trump Wants More Trade With Russia But Less With Everyone Else

    Trump has spoken of deals and increased trade with Russia several times and is considering sanctions relief despite Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine and what a UN report called crimes against humanity that include disappearances of and attacks on civilians and the abduction of approximately 20,000 Ukrainian children.

    Trump has argued that the existence of trade deficits with individual countries requires tariffs.

    Two ironies emerge from examining U.S.-Russia trade data. First, U.S.-Russia trade flows in goods are small, only about $3.5 billion in 2024 and $36 billion in 2021. In comparison, total trade in goods between Canada and the United States reached $762 billion in 2024.

    Second, the United States runs a significant trade deficit with Russia, something Donald Trump has opposed in dealing with other countries.

    “If the United States is going to ignore the trade balance with Russia, surely it can do the same with Canada, the European Union and other countries that are simply guilty of supplying Americans with goods we need and want.”

    Experts say Russia’s business climate is unhospitable and even life-threatening for foreign businesspeople.

    “Russia has enacted a series of laws that effectively repress foreign businesses,” and the government has continued to expropriate the assets of domestic and foreign owners forcibly.

    Putin has played on Donald Trump’s “obsession with being seen as a master dealmaker.” Putin has encouraged Trump to seize Greenland, use American investors to take over the damaged Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline and partner with Russia on energy projects despite sanctions and the invasion of Ukraine. He quotes a veteran British diplomat who says Putin is “helping Trump be the worst version of himself he can.”

    Putin is manipulating Trump like Play Doh in his hands, and Trump is too stupid to see it happening.

    He has to pick from the current board of governors unless the Supreme Court rules otherwise in upcoming cases. Wouldn't lose sleep over it...
