Liz Truss Vibes.

Except that Trump will never resign, no matter how much of a hollowed out husk he presides over. 

Premier David Eby says British Columbia will pass legislation allowing it to tax U.S. trucks transiting the province to Alaska, as it ramps up retaliation to President Donald Trump's tariffs. The measure will be included in a legislative package that Eby said will also include changes to eliminate interprovincial trade barriers and to give the government "flexibility" to respond to Trump's executive orders.

Donald Trump continues to suffer from diarrhea. Apparently he walked back more tariffs in light of the devastating effects it has on the USA's stock market.

America has never been as weak as it is today. Siding with the USA's enemies, pushing away its allies. Constantly shouting about threatening others, then cowardly backing down as soon as things get serious. The world is laughing while Americans have to buy their eggs loose because they can't afford buying them by the dozen anymore.

It doesn't surprise me in the least that there's nothing left of the initial gloating over Trump's election win on this forum. All Trump does is losing, and he is losing bigly.

If Trump was President in 1940

Bit like what is happening at DOGE.

Elon Musk Suddenly Doesn’t Want Credit for Disastrous DOGE Cuts | The New Republic

Feels like Trump and Musk have been spooked a little recently, the funny thing is, this time around Trump didn't even get a fake win from Canada/Mexico of them claiming he is responsible for something they were already doing, Canada giving Trump credit for things they had already passed last year and Mexico giving him credit for something they were already doing, this time around it was simply "I had a chat" Lol.

Hopefully Canada keeps their tariffs in full force until this nonsense stops completely. He can't even stick to the reason behind them, it's the trade deficit, it's the imaginary fentanyl issue, now the new excuse is that it's all Trudeau's fault because he's trying to stay in power despite him stepping down from power and despite Trump being the one to issue the tariffs and despite Trump being the one who made the damn America-Mexico-Canada trade agreement in the first place in his last presidency, Lol.

US President Donald Trump on Thursday criticized the US-Japan Security Treaty, highlighting the fact that the US is obliged to defend Japan under the agreement but Japan does not offer the same security guarantees in return, even as Tokyo benefits from the trade relationship.

“We have a great relationship with Japan, but we have an interesting deal with Japan that we have to protect them, but they don’t have to protect us,” Trump said to reporters after signing an executive order in the Oval Office. “And by the way, they make a fortune with us economically,” Trump added. “I actually asked who makes these deals?”

Japan’s Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba countered the claim in parliament Friday, saying that Japan bears the burden of providing bases to the US. “Our relationship is not just one where the US unilaterally protects Japan and Japan is unilaterally protected by the US,” he said. Ishiba added that it was important to explain how much Japan, with its economy and pro-American sentiment, has contributed to US global strategy, and said that he wasn’t fretting about Trump’s comments.

Trump Criticizes Security Treaty With Japan as Unequal

Trump said Thursday in the Oval Office that other countries would not come to the defense of the U.S. — though they have done exactly that, in the only instance that the Article 5 defense guarantee was invoked.

"You know the biggest problem I have with NATO? I really, I mean, I know the guys very well. They're friends of mine. But if the United States was in trouble, and we called them, we said, 'We got a problem, France. We got a problem, couple of others I won't mention.' Do you think they're going to come and protect us? They're supposed to. I'm not so sure."

Trump Casts Doubt On NATO Solidarity | AP News

===

Talking shit as per usual and more outright lies to turn his stupid fanbase against NATO. The only time Article 5 was ever called upon was by America and NATO answered the call, we bled and died for America, entered into multiple wars for America, the Afghanistan War and Iraq War, all to help America. When we need help against Russia, America backstabs us and outright aids Russia, so maybe now we wouldn't be as eager to help America but that's because America spat in the faces of its allies, so if we didn't, Trump would only have himself to blame, but I bet we still would because Europe honours its commitments, unlike America.

Americans won't be so stupid to believe Trump while they saw again and again how America's allies sent troops even to countries thousands of miles away from USA to die in America's wars, right?

The only reason why USA's allies wouldn't help USA in a war is because of Trump and because of him destroying every good relationship between USA and other countries. So, if USA wants to be also helped in a theoretical future war, they should get rid of Trump... 

Republicans press Trump to resume military, intelligence aid to Ukraine

"“It’s a concern for the Ukrainian people. I worry more about how people on the battlefield” feel about it, Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), a leading advocate for supporting Ukraine, said of the pause on U.S. military shipments."

American CEOs Sour on Trump's Economy

"CEO concerns are largely centered around the president's on-again, off-again tariff plans, some of which have been enacted but others subject to temporary pauses and last-minute sector-specific concessions.

Struggling to adapt to announcements regarding trade, and whether to treat them as threats that may not evolve into policy, has frustrated Hassane El-Khoury, CEO of ON Semiconductor.

"You can't move a factory overnight," Khoury told Semafor. "It takes four years to build a [semiconductor fabrication] plant."

On the real impact of tariffs on foreign imports, Ford CEO Jim Farley said that 25 percent tariffs on Canada and Mexico would "blow a hole in the U.S. industry that we have never seen," and that what he had witnessed from the administration so far had been "a lot of costs and a lot of chaos.""

Feels like there's a little bit of pushback going on. 

A day after offering Canada a one-month reprieve on punishing nearly across-the-board 25% tariffs, President Donald Trump has threatened new tariffs as soon as Friday on Canadian lumber and dairy products. "Canada has been ripping us off for years on lumber and on dairy products," Trump said in an Oval Office address Friday, citing Canada's roughly 250% tariff on US dairy exports to the country. Trump said America would match those tariffs dollar-for-dollar.

"We may do it as early as today, or we'll wait until Monday or Tuesday," Trump said. "We're going to charge the same thing. It's not fair. It never has been fair, and they've treated our farmers badly."

Omfg. Shut the fuck up. Lol. It's like he wakes up every morning as a new man, tariffs now! Tariffs delayed! Tariffs back on! Tariffs are increasing! Actually they're staying the same! Tariffs are paused again! Tariffs only on a few things! Tariffs on more things! Tariffs Tariffs Tariffs. Literally the only tactic he has is tariffs.
