And do you think that's going to be a deterrent to the pathological war hawks that drumpf puts into power?

All that guarantees is M.A.D.

u/Angry_Autist@lemmy.world · 13 points

You don't understand the danger of this rhetoric

He is laying the foundation for conquest

And all of you are just sitting here so self-satisified in his idiocy, convinced this is all a silly show

You will soon learn what happens when fascists get control of the largest military in human existence

Nice move from China and Canada. Hope the EU will do something similar.

u/justOnePersistentKbinPlease@fedia.io · 9 points

Thats what Canada did too. Applied light counter tariffs, told the moron that he can call us. Trump almost completely folded and Canada hasn't lightened any of its tariffs outside of the electricity one.

Only difference is that Canada is still playing nice.

I think what China did well was to let him fucking stew it it. The rest of the world has been putting reciprocal teriffs, but being clear they're eager to begin negotiations.

China put up the reciprocal teriffs and just said "reach out when you're ready to be reasonable. Don't wait for a phone call from us because it isn't coming."

I mean, this is literally what China has been saying everyone should do. They even made a whole video about it.

I guess, more and more people are realizing that yeah, that's what everyone's going to have to do.

u/Rin@lemm.ee · -7 points

Yeah. Sure.

the china tactic has been:

1. don't back down and keep rising tarifs

2. Appear strong, don't say anything to trump

3. Spread propaganda about how china doesn't *really* need america's money.

4. both sides say "actually, i REALLY need this particular thing for my military", make excemptions.

5. work in factories grinds to a halt. I mean, that's ok. We'll just expunge all the dissent as usual.

6. oh shit oh fuck the chinese factories are closing down for good.

7. Stop reporting finantial numbers out of embarassment to try save face

8. Come crawling back to trump to make a deal

i mean. Come on. If this is what being strong is, i would've wanted them to at least put up a fight for a few months. This is about as structurally strong as my shit is after taco bell

Careful with that doll, don’t you know beautiful baby girls, 11y/o baby girls are only going to be able to have 1 or 2 instead of 30?!

"arakhis, you gotta flush. I don't wanna be greeted by a log every time I go to pee. It's nasty"

Smh sounds just like Trump.

nothing, sounds like doesnt imply the topic is the same.

it was more about the type of communication and value of that.

basically toxicity

Depends what flavor of broken your brain is, for some reason coke was a study drug for me (not the soda)

Blame it on the rain, that was fallin′ fallin'...

Blame it on the stars, that did shine at night...

Whatever you do don't put the blame on you...

Around the same time everyone started SLAM'ing one another

When we let a wealthy manbaby who has never had a mole of discipline in his life into the highest office in the land.

u/comeonitsnotlike@feddit.nu · 3 points

It's just his brain using words of what happens to him on a daily basis. We ALL KNOW he shits his pants daily, he probably hates it, because it gets really "nasty" down there. It's just him projecting, desperately trying to escape the shame.

u/LePoisson@lemmy.world · 47 points

Dude definitely has some type of Alzheimer's or Dementia going on. That's on top of how much of an idiot he already was and is.

So that tracks.

u/doctortofu@reddthat.com · 9 points

He has too little mental capacity left, so he simply parrots whatever the last person he talked to said to him. He also has no opinions or stances of his own, so he's trivial to manipulate: just find the last person who talked to him while stroking his ego and you'll know whose words these are, because they are not Trump's...

u/cron@feddit.org · 68 points

Trump's comments mark a significant departure from his warm words about the European Commission's president last week, in which he praised Ursula von der Leyen as “fantastic,” adding he hoped that the two would meet soon.

This man is just a walking contradiction.

Trump has said so much shit, at this point why is it still relevant?

I’m bored of Trump said this, Trump said that knowing full-well he will say the opposite soon enough.

The man, himself, doesn’t care about he said. Why should the rest of the world do?

u/Jhex@lemmy.world · 19 points

This is just so he doesn't look extra bendy as he has folded like a cheap straw before China

Awe, does Cheeto Benito want to test out Europe's trade bazooka next?
