USA is so finished, Americans allowing this shitshow to continue is as ridiculous as the shitshow itself.
The checks and balances were never designed to manage a psychotic criminal administration. And that is still what Americans are relying on!
This! 👆
He basically is allowed to do whatever he wants. And people thinking that it is a distraction from the Epstein files, don't realize that he'd be able to walk away from anything they hold too. The problem is not Trump it's the enablers who won't stop him
All the smiles behind him in his inauguration are still smiling.
I have high hopes for the US population to slapping back at the midterms. Minneapolis has shown the world that ordinary people can stand up to power.
Having said that, the mayor in jaws was still the mayor in jaws 2.
Sure it was. They just didn't know that all three branches would be filled with psychotic criminals at the same time.
God damn it feels good to be the good guys. Cheers france, we'll have some eh
“Do what I say or else I’ll charge my citizens more for your stuff!”
It came to me guys. I was wondering why he was so obsessed with peace because it's not really something you'd expect from someone like him. Then I remembered all the beauty pageants. All those girls on stage babbling something about world peace.
It's burned into his dementia ridden brain by a bunch of exploited minors regurgitating the same bullshit lines over and over again.
He's also dying and knows it. He has spoken in the recent past about using peace to ve able to get into heaven. He actually thinks he can barter his way into heaven. The man has no concept, none at all, of human decency for the sake of human decency. He is the worst of the worst of our species and the USians chose to elect him not once, but twice. It says a lot about USian culture, and not in a good way.
Ah ya the ones he also raped
It;s actually a good thing we can keep those fine wines for ourselves now. The Amercians have no taste whatsoever.
they just need a little ketchup, that's all.
That's how they make the white wine red right?
No dumbass, they use fruit punch Gatorade.
Oh gods, delete this shit right now. I do not claim this energy. The ketchup wine will have no place in my mind. Begone from me!
edit: now that I think about it. ketchup should be considered wine. it's made of fruit, can get vinegary, and has lots of sugar in it.
May as well just make the tariffs 4000%.
Do it pussy.
So when are we tariffing the shit out of US products?
I'm sure every business in Europe suddenly having to pay 200% extra for Office 365 and mail handling will send them scrambling for a European alternative.
And they won't go back once they've moved.
been reading about several mandating open source in government offices. due to low quality, low security microsoft crap. give them more reasons.
Yes please, let's make foss default.
I had a talk about this with my boss today. We'd be fairly fucked in my department without Autodesk products. Sure, we could probably get a different software that can do similar things, but the department would become incredibly inefficient very quickly. Our product quality would suffer immensely, and our manual labour hours in production would skyrocket.
Didn't the supre court said that those tariffs were ilegal and the government is going to reimburse like a trillion?
I don't think so. I think some lower courts did, but the Supreme Court changed the rules to ban "blanket injunctions," so every wronged party has to bring their case to the courts and considered on a case-by-case basis. I think there's a case about tariffs that the Supreme Court is supposed to rule on but haven't yet. The admin, right now, can seemingly do anything it wants by just tying up courts with large numbers of illegal acts. They face no consequences for doing so, and the Supreme Court is mostly complicit (and illegitimate).
Also didn't he try that a few years ago and French winemakers didn't notice the difference?
I remember reading smth along those lines
Trump is having a speed-run on running the US into the ground as hard as possible. You clowns that voted this Nazi in 🤡👏
I'm guessing that the people who buy actual Champagne in the US don't notice the price and won't notice the tariffs. Plus $100, $200, $1000 per bottle - whatever.
And that's why the EU made sure there is now the Mercosur deal with South America, Canada free trade deal, deal with Australia, the deal with Indonesia and probably some I forgot. We all knew this moment would come.
Americans don't realize they are a minority
This is also what China is doing and the only loser will be the USA.
What a pissant he is.
Oh yeah you don't wanna do what I tell you? Just watch me taxe my own citizens than!
Gonna be the saddest shit ever if the EU placates this dementia-ridden chucklefuck. I'm hoping they can figure out a long-term viable economic plan that cuts out the US but I'm not all that hopeful they won't just appease him to maintain the status quo.
They really, really need to prioritize separating themselves from dependence on American tech companies and payment processors. That has to be accomplished to shield themselves.
Then they can and should embargo us and seize American assets until we get in line. After which they can resume trade, but keep the assets of the American oligarchs who have refused to defy the fascists.
A peace board to which he invited Putin? No thanks, any halfway decent politician should keep away from this.
france;; line them up;; 
At this point, we need such tools to surgically remove this cancer
Isn't that extortion?
Trump's always wanted to be a mobster, even though he lacks the skill.
This gives us the possibility for one of the funniest ends to this, where Trump gets in a pissing match with Italy over something, tries to extort them with tariffs, and the Italian mob takes him out for trying to squeeze in on their territory.
Someone needs to punch him in the mouth.
I imagine it would be like punching a rotten cantaloupe
What a big baby.
Had to check if this was an onion post or not
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. 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.
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.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
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.
