He wants to be boss of the world, while his real boss in Moscow has tasked him with deliberately destroying American hegemony. He's struggling with the conflict.

He better figure out what he really wants, because while he's waffling, we're making plans to put him and everyone else he knows up against the wall.

it's like a much worse repeat of when he called up the prime minister of sweden to post bail for asap rocky, and the prime minister of sweden had to explain to him that not only do we not have a bail system because that's an absurd idea, _the courts are not a political organ_ and so the prime minister can not ask them to do anything.

Correction: Everything I don't like gets *threatened* with a tariff. Remember, he always chickens out with this shit.

Brazil is an independent country. The guy is a bit over the horizon on this.

Whatever happened to that lawsuit trying to block arbitrary executive tariffs? The law that Trump is using to threaten all these tariffs has a set of causes listed, something like emergency economic events, price shocks, crashes, etc. I'm sure prosecution of the president's friends is not on the list.

Here it is https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-court-blocks-trumps-liberation-day-tariffs-2025-05-28/

But that was a month ago.

He is just covering his dictators to help in the war against...literally everything else that is any good.

Man acts like the literal devil, lying about everything, trying to make everything the opposite of what it should be. If you want an objective measure of what is the right thing to do, just do the opposite of him.

He punishes the good, and rewards the bad. He is at war with all normal life!

It's a mob style government elected by a mob of angry, hateful people. Unfortunately for the rest of the world, the US was allowed to grow too big and now it's being weilded against you.
