I hope we respond by putting tariffs on American pickups. Democratic nations need to cut the US out of the global economy entirely until they learn how to act right.

Apologies if there's any weirdness in this post, it's my first one.

First go round, yeah, Trump was distracting on purpose. The thing everyone seems to be missing is that, the man isn't in charge any more.

Look at his tweets, or whatever the fuck they're called, mostly focused and on point. Listen to his words, he doesn't ramble on and on and on. We only hear truncated quips.

Anyone remember how he got more and more demented as the election came closer? Anyone remember how his cognition dropped off a cliff in 2021 or so, and continued downwards, fast?

The Project 2025 people have got him locked in as a mouthpiece, nothing more. Competent people are now in charge, this won't be like 2017.
