The world is moving on to trade without the US

1. Trump’s actions have prompted some nations to seek alternative trade partnerships, reducing their reliance on the U.S. The shifting global trade dynamics finds numerous countries actively pursuing bilateral and regional trade agreements with major economies such as the European Union (EU), China, and the BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa), while the U.S. has made no new trade deals.

   This shift indicates a growing reluctance among some countries to engage in agreements with the U.S. under Trump’s leadership, due to concerns over policy unpredictability and the potential for abrupt withdrawal from commitments.

2. Good.

3. I know protectionism is super controversial, but I can at least partially understand it. However, the way the US is implementing protectionism is the worst possible one since the US today has not implemented the capacity to replace these imports.

4. That’s one thing I can’t wrap my head around with the Trump administration; global trade as it exists now is so vital to the US economic might. Yeah we need more factories here and need to shrink the trade deficit but for the most part it works, it keeps us at this incredibly high standard of living. He’s messing with the dial too much.

5. Other countries think that even if Trump leaves, what’s stopping the morons in America from voting in another populist MAGA like leader who will blow up everything the dems and sane republicans negotiate if trump is forced from power.

   multilateral long term foreign policy and trade agreements cannot rely on the whims of uninformed and uneducated swing voters from Pennsylvania every 4 years. The world is going to trade with countries with stable autocracies and healthier democracies like the countries in the EU.

   In the future deals with other countries will only be made with a duration of less than 4 years or with the understanding that nothing is guaranteed past 4 years

6. Surprised they haven’t done this already. Americans stupid enough to et him win again, deserve to be left behind.

7. Putin must be so pleased

8. Let’s not beat around the bush, Trump is destroying America for his Russian masters, just as they always hoped, dreamed, and commanded. Every action is a dream come true for Putin and a nightmare for average Americans.

9. Nice job electing this bag of shit dumbfucks .

10. The greatest reason Trump may behave in such a outrageously insane and insolent way is presidential immunity, allowing him to do the most abhorring and illegal things with impunity.

    So, if Trump is a 100% wicked and evil person, the chief justices of the supreme court granting him that presidential immunity are no less wicked and evil than him in any way.

    If we condemn Trump for his wrong doings now, we must condem those chief justices of the supreme court first.

11. Republicans had every chance to do the right thing and excise this Trump tumor that is the enemy within. But they have zero courage.

12. “You’re no longer hot enough to act this crazy.”

13. As others have observed, Trump tries for zero sum deals where there’s always a binary winner and loser. This does not work in a worldwide market where consumers can go elsewhere for just about everything they need. All it does is disincentivize everyone else to do business with us since we’re unreliable.

14. Because chaos and bullying and blustering only work if you want to be bankrupt six times.

    Soft power is so much more effective than bullying. Humans are hard wired to adapt to fear and bullying but DJT can’t understand that because he is deeply broken.

15. Trump is speed running the complete eradication of FDR’s legacy.

16. Putin got the US to essentially sanction themselves….

17. MAGA: Make America Go Away.

18. That’s a great thing. The World’s reliance on US should end. We should never make one country that powerful ever again. It’s dangerous.

19. Good! Maybe people will finally realize that Republicans are shit for the economy.

20. Vladimir Putin’s absolute dream scenario playing out. Thanks to that traitorous Trump and the maximum fools who follow him and fall for his transparent lies.

21. Good. The world should shun the US. We’re morons.

22. And this is how one goes from a powerhouse to powerless. It won’t happen overnight but historians will be able to look back and pinpoint the time – and Trump will win all the accolades for putting his country on the path to a has been.

23. He broke every business he ever ran and always had the banks, with his gaudy properties as collateral, bail him out. Now he’s breaking the country in his final, grand act.

24. We’re entering the Find Out stage

25. Hope the red states suffer the most when we get left behind. I know we all suffer, but I am vindictive towards dumbasses.

    The other countries need to do what Canada is doing. Tariff the fuck out of products made and exported out of red states. Starve the beast. 

26. Maybe this is drop-in-the-bucket type stuff, but my desire to travel to the states again any time soon is massively diminished. I don’t think I’m alone in that, so I wonder how badly tourism will be effected.
