As expected, Trump easily folds to any kind of opposition. Honestly, our neighbors should just keep their retaliatory tariffs imposed on Trump and start choking his red state base out that may very well start turning them against Trump. Have to teach Trump that petty bullying attempts will not come for free

Our Canadian plan targets red state products with tariffs. In fact across Canada, red state consumer products like bourbon and oranges are being pulled from the shelves.

I hope you can continue those red state tariffs. And I live in (a blue dot in) a red state.

Same! In a blue dot in TX, but support this effort against Red states. Maybe THAT would get the Senators’ and Representatives’ attention! My emails and voicemails have not moved them.

They should keep it up. Not a government policy, but people power!

Will the world ever trust USA again after Trump re-elected? Hard to see it.

What Pro-Democracy Americans do to defeat the Trump-Musk-GOP ;Axis of Evil will decide many things. How the world sees the USA is secondary to how you eliminate this lethal threat.

USA was late into WW1 and WW2.....but when the bell rang....the call was answered and you took no quarter.

Democracies are standing up to the Orange DICKtator.........waiting for you to kick Orange butt.

It will take a long time to do so. Maybe, if the Republican Party is destroyed, gone, they might. Either way, it will take a lot of work to regain that trust. Obama fought that after W, Biden fought that and Trump term 1.

Trump is Goldmember but Musk is Dr. Evil. I believe Musk’s next move is to topple the German government for his far right Nazi agenda.

I have studied a bit of history and am deeply concerned to my American friends. Here's why:

It seems like Donald Trump is following a familiar political playbook. Compare his actions to those taken by a previous autocrat in 1930s Germany. Here are the steps.

1. Create a populous political movement.

2. Win a legitimate election.

3. Purge non loyal government officials.

4. Put loyal associates in charge of key departments.

5. Control all branches of government.

6. Court the rich to your side by making them richer.

7. Use government agency to round up undesirables, even those born in the country.

8. Put them into concentration camps like Guantanamo Bay.

9. Promote genetic supremacy

10. Annex neighboring countries by force and coercion

11. Next steps: Sway the military to your side.

12. Declare yourself the leader for life.

Look familiar?

A coup d'état (/ˌkuːdeɪˈtɑː/ ⓘ; French: [ku deta] ⓘ; lit. 'stroke of state'),[1] or simply a coup, is typically an illegal and overt attempt by a military organization or other government elites to unseat an incumbent leadership.[2][3] A self-coup is when a leader, having come to power through legal means, tries to stay in power through illegal means

"Sens. Schatz and Van Hollen pledged they would stall all State Dept. nominees, until Trump stops trying to close down USAID. Van Hollen went on to slam  Elon Musk, saying he “may get to play dictator of Tesla…but he doesn't get to shut down USAID,” calling it a “corrupt abuse of power,” that’s “plain illegal.”

Expand full comment

How does he get access to attempt these insane moves. He’s a South African lunatic in our country without any elected position in America. Just DEPORT HIM permanently!

I am a Canadian who is angry about the declaraion of war on Canada with his objective of "causing Canada to cease to exist as a viable country". If some country did that to you what would you do? You would fight back and that's what Canada will do. Be aware that we will not give up.

Yes definitely! We hear it and it’s awful understand it’s definitely not all of US!

I totally understand how you feel, although please remember not all Americans are like this ✌️

Hey MeidasTouch, AOC pointed out, on her live podcast yesterday, that the massive and gross tax credits for the wealthy are set to expire in 2025. Congress can renew them, but it will cost trillions. Now, Musk and others are looking at gutting systems like Medicaid to fund those giveaways to the ultra-rich. This needs attention—can you cover it?

Trump is such a whimp. Could have had him do the job but he has a person like Musk destroying the world. Musk is perhaps more evil than Trump. You are not the president or king Musk is. Musk is the Brain while Trump is Pinky.

Trump always takes credit from previous presidents. We knew he would do that, so no surprises there. But, do uneducated MAGA know this?

Nope. They know nothing about what is going on either.

That remains to be seen. Voters have shown to be powerfully stupid.

Problem with that is they’re so glued to Fox for their daily fix of ‘reality’ that they aren’t getting the memo. Yet.
