It seemed pretty out of left field. Like, okay… I’m not clicking on any of that. No explanation of why someone would message me this and as I expected, it seems to have been some sort of widespread spam.

That should be a cinch now that he’s pissed off most of our trade partners. It’s like yelling at your neighbors “don’t EVER park here!” and building an ugly high fence, then 5 days later knocking at their door “hey, can I borrow a cup of flour?”

Can’t even call it capitalism most of the time, just “liberals” which is confusing in US political terms.

Trump’s just a symptom. He’s a horrific figurehead, but the entire conservative political and media establishment are awful, along with their audience. I’m sure people would say “demorcats are as bad” or “they’re all (neo) liberals) but what passes for the left in the US is in fact not nearly as horrible as the right here.

What’s the actual problem then? You can’t name it either? Anyway, I’m not sure how you got from my post that I think the only issue with the US is this one specific degenerate.

Eventually the discussion came around to one basic question: Is Trump a reliable ally?

Why would anyone be wondering that? Of course he is not. Republicans and especially Tr*mp have made their views on Ukraine well known for quite a while now. This can’t realistically be a surprise to anyone.
