This isn’t a trade war, it’s a Stupid Economic Operation.

Trump is just tracing from Pitin’s playbook.

I didn’t think it was humanly possible to see such a concerted effort to destroy an economy in my life. Even Hitler didn’t try to do this with Germany.

Once upon a time I couldn’t get myself to watch old 80s and 90s cartoons anymore because I felt too old and cynical for them… but now I realize that the villains on those shows have nothing on Trump and his dipshit cronies. Only they are somehow more fleshed out despite being literal cartoon villains.

It might actually go the Hitler route. He’s already made concentration camps for “illegal” human beings. It’s only a matter of time until they figure out that they are deporting a practically free workforce with no rights.

Even Hitler didn’t try to do this with Germany.

Hitler “fixed” Germany’s economy by basically borrowing a bunch of money and then attempting to destroy the people who had loaned it to him (Jewish financiers were a large source of the borrowed money, as was the Soviet Union - a little-known but majorly important part of the Ribbentrop Pact and related German-Soviet agreements).

Because the writers weren’t clueless. Trump is willfully clueless.

Yeah, no. Even if Kamala just continued whatever Biden was doing it would have been better than this.

Haha, of course I’m not serious, but a whole lot of bothsidering centrists and an unfortunate amount of leftists keep saying all this is the Democrats fault because they didn’t offer them a pretty, pretty pony last fall.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
