I love how he reminds his voters every day that when you do clownery, the clown comes back to bite 

I wish this was true but I’ve seen people say this is temporary pain to “save America!!!”

These people are beyond saving and deserve everything that’s coming to them. But by the time they realize it, it will be too late.

Idiotic. Praying congress can do something about this and remove the power from Trump

Congress can't do anything unless the dems win super majorities in congress in the mid-term elections.  With a super majority they can reverse all of his policies and can override his vetos.  In the meantime we're sunk, and it's far too long to wait.

It could happen in a bipartisan fashion. Cracks are already forming in the GOP. Time will tell if it amounts to anything.

There’s a bipartisan resolution that will be voted on this week or next week to terminate his power. He’s going to veto it but they’re going to try

I’m so sick of all the “he’s playing chess not checkers” arguments. Like, what do they think it’s going to happen? The rest of the world is supposed to tolerate this bully and everyone will be happy working their factory shifts with their factory wages to buy a phone they can’t afford?

He really just wants to ruin the world economy... and it's gonna hit the US harder than any other country. And yet Maggots still think he is good for their country, when he is openly working for Russia at this point, since nothing of this hurts them. The old US is sadly lost 

in my head it's just trump secretly shorting the entire stock market and profiting off of the bullshit.

Any american here to tell us what people in your country think of this ? Bc the entire world is just hesitating between busting out of laughter and being genuinly scared

I’m guessing over 90% of what makes its way into the US has components made in China. This will destroy the US economy but sadly the entire world is also going to suffer because of this absolute insane clown. And we also have Elon claiming he is aiming for a “free economy”. What an absolute nightmare, I can’t even laugh at them anymore because they are causing real damage and trauma to millions. People where commuting suicide during the last Global Financial Crisis and things were BETTER back then. So incredibly sad. He is dismantled everything and people still support him??!!

american citizen here.  i'm absolutely losing my sh*t both laughing and panicking.  damn near everything here is made in china, so it means the price of goods is going to soar exponentially to the point where only the 1% are going to be able to afford to live.  i'm genuinely terrified of the consequences, but cackling at trump's constant temper tantrums.

That’s what Trump’s reasoning is. Fact is the US economy going down is also affecting every other nation around the world. It’s selfish of them to think it’s all about “making America great”. When they have made themselves “leaders of the free world” for over 80 years now, this WILL have a massive domino effect on every economy.
