I love to see this shit. I have longed for the downfall of this shithole after I saw how people acted after 9/11. The racism, the jingoism, all of it. Then the Iraq War, Patriot Act, Drone Strikes, NSA spying, Afghanistan, Libya, etc.
I truly madly deeply hate this country. And the further it falls into collapse and obscurity the better. We are the ones with 800 bases around the world. We are the ones invading sovereign nations on a whim. We wielded economic sanctions with such abandon that we necessitated the creation of a parallel international economic structure in BRICS. We're directly responsible for that. We are the ones who have been blowing up schools and hospitals not for just the last 2 years but for more than 20. We are currently and have been the bad guys for at least since the Korean War.
We should be a pariah state. We should have no financial or international relevance. Treat us the way you treat North Korea. This country deserves that and then some.
Shun and exclude us. Make deals amongst yourselves. Take care of your own house and enjoy the schadenfreude of watching ours collapse. I'm gonna enjoy it and I'm stuck having to live through it. I can't afford to leave.
The older I get, the more I realize.
Doomers are bad people.
who let this nut case out of his padded room?
Is there any evidence that Qatar has formally pulled its pledge of $1+ trillion investment in the US? I couldn't find anything to support that.
Barely anyone cares. Retarded conservatives don't care when you point out their hypocrisy or dedication to a incompetent leader.
Democratic Establishment doesn't care they just want you to donate and vote to their campaign.
Campist Leftists don't care about the well being of the US economy.
Most normies probably don't even know about half of this.
Maybe 10% of the US population cares, and they're the ones posting stuff like this on social media to each other.
Art of the deal.
Look on the bright side! Soy products must be cheap in usa now ?
Maybe we can have a soy dictatorship the way others use cheap domestic oil to entice support /s
And yet the stock market keeps breaking all time highs
Why do you think it was the wrong direction? Depends whom it was for.
Counterpoint.
Insane we just allowed a Russian asset to take power and break anything he can touch.
If America still exists in 50 years people will look back at this time like we do with Nazi Germany today
We're much closer to a Russian oligarchy than we are to Nazi Germany

I do not want to give the impression that I support this guy, but is there any evidence at all of some gains?
Maybe I'm dumb, but I don't why they would willingly bankrupt this country unless theyre just betting against us and look to take full control. I'm not sure what the value of controlling a derelict former superpower country would be.
It's like vandalizing a fantastic house to drive the value down and then moving in. Great, you own a piece of shit that was once special but is no more.
There are three primary factors at play here.
-
Trump’s greed and need to line his own pockets. He will wreck entire economic sectors to add another billion (in bribe money) to his accounts.
-
Rich benefactors wanting more. They stay rich regardless of what the economy does, and have a ton of liquid. If it crashes, they can buy so much more of it up for themselves.
-
Foreign actors looking to upset US hegemony. They don’t have to go to war, they don’t have to fight economic battles…just incentivize the right people to do the wrong things at home in the US, and we destroy ourselves. It’s cheap and easy for them.
It's #2, first and foremost.
Tank everything so the rich can consolidate their power.
We know billionaires, they'll bitch and moan when their profits haven't increased as much as they increased last year. They wouldn't support Trump for his own gains or to appease a foreign agency for any amount of downturn. But to spend money on changing the rules and consolidating power, well, they haven't spent billions lobbying the government for fun.

I work in construction, and we've had no new bids come through in the past 2 weeks. That's never happened before, even during covid. I've noticed a lot less positive talk about Trump when I go into the office, though I doubt even this would be enough to make any of my coworkers reconsider their political views.
It's just teams at this point. Trump is just the quarterback that they're bitching about this season, they're not switching teams over it.

I realize it isn't technically foreign "investment", but international tourism to the USA is way down, which is having a huge impact on all the areas that rely on tourists.

And yet with nearly every story of someone's loved ones being deported, their business going bankrupt or their entire means of affording necessities being on credit,
if they supported this orange bastard before, they still do.
Seems like every story of a working class Republican voter getting fucked by Trump ends with them saying "but I still support Trump and trust things will turn around"
if they supported this orange bastard before, they still do.
He's got no meaningful opposition. It's vote for the Republican who says they love Trump. Or vote for the Cuomo-crat who says he loves Trumpism but thinks Trump is doing it wrong.
We've got two right wing parties. Their only critique of one another is that the other guy isn't business friendly enough.
Let's not be stupid and pretend for a second that the Dems and GOP are the same.
Biden and the establishment Dems are certainly corporation loving whores who are ok with atrocities so long as they make money off it. This is true.
But Biden et al didn't fundamentally end US democracy, mass revoke the rights of all US citizens, create the most well funded secret police to send minorities to concentration camps foreign and domestic, give full unrestricted support to Israel to complete the genocide and attack it's neighbors, alienate all of our allies, crash our economy nor launch the biggest domestic spy system in US history. (All of this since Jan 20th this year, BTW)
Let’s not be stupid and pretend for a second that the Dems and GOP are the same.
No, of course not. Dems rarely get any real power. They're controlled opposition.
Liberals operate as a placeholder for when plutocrats need to diffuse public outrage at the current leadership. And they are a means of temporarily gentling harsh, unpopular measures without actually removing them.
Most importantly, they're deliberately weak, incompetent, and disappointing. Merrick Garland is a great example of a modern American liberal. Pete Buttigieg and Kamala Harris, too.
But Biden et al didn’t fundamentally end US democracy
He ended it when he allowed his political opposition to go back to business as usual with no legal consequences. Ffs, Cruz and Hawley were glad-handing the crowd during J6. Charlie Kirk paid to bus people in - by extension making Foster Friese and Robert Mercer financially complicit in the resulting riots.
Never even mind Trump. You have a congo line of activists and financial bankers who organized a coup on the US Congress. Biden didn't do shit about them. Instead, he unleashed his attack dogs on... Columbia student protesters.
Biden ended democracy the day he walked out of his office and handed the keys to the Trump administration, fully knowing what they intended 4 years in advance.
