This is also very concerning for Americans. Elon Musk is putting his fingers in all the pies in federal government departments.

The way he is going America will be isolated from lots of former friends, and the world will have a new reserve currency. His notion of American exceptionalism is off the chart, and he doesnā€™t appear to realize that other countries will hit back.

You donā€™t think, heā€™s just a puppet to wind people up, behind the orange-faced facade are the real villains , Elon and other tech giants ?

Heā€™s teed off so many Canadian citizens, i see alot of them on my timeline saying ā€œboycott all American goods and do vacation in other countries than the USā€

I think there are real, capable people behind Trump, and they believe in their agenda. Project 25, Miller, lots of others.

I think Trump is a racist scumbag, but he is also a base human being, without too many thoughts in his head. One thing he is clear about is enriching himself. Everything is for sale, and when his term is over I think he will be worth $500 billion.

It hasnā€™t got much attention yet, but his crypto currency has already made him tens of billions. It isnā€™t as regulated at bit coin and it cannot be tracked. It is ripe for anyone to buy favors. Trump was against Tik-Tok and it was about to be banned, due to security concerns. He had 80 Senators on board who were with him. But then money - lots of money - changed hands, and next thing you know, Tik-Tok stays open for business in America.

Extrapolate this out many, many times over. Business favors. Political favors. Geopolitical favors.

When his term is over I expect Trump to be worth $500 Billion. His other hope is for a political dynasty to go beyond Kennedy and Bush.

I donā€™t think he gives too much of a shit about anything, but as it happens, the extreme right has got him in power, and he will enact their play book because they will keep him in power while he enriches himself.

Trump is just a bully,like most of them will get the shits if anyone stands up to him.
Right now it looks like Canada might and certainly many friends in Canada seem favourably disposed to stop buying US goods as Trudeau said.
A few fast food chains may be the early recipients if that is widespead.

This is infuriating

I voted for the guy I am now praying wonā€™t do the things he made clear he would do, and Iā€™m angry about my vote after he didn the other thing he was clear he was going to do

When I briefly lived in Texas, I went for a dinner party at a clearly-rich early 40ā€™s Pakistani-American doctorā€™s house. He was a practicing Muslim.

He said he voted for Trumpā€¦just because Trump said he would lower his taxes.

Thatā€™s it! Never mind the significant and noticeable uptick in Islamophobia Trump ushered in (starting with the travel ban). Never mind all his own people being put in difficulty. Just for lower taxes.

Makes me sick.

As I have said before, the vilification of tax has been one of the greatest successes of the neoliberals.

Seeing a lot of this voting remorse across social media, and they can all go fuck themselves!

The thing is, the American public that voted him in havenā€™t got a leg to stand on. Unlike the Leave campaign in the UK that lied through their teeth prior to the vote, Trump was pretty honest in what heā€™d do and heā€™s been doing it since getting into office.

The dick heads that voted for him that are as thick as two short planks are getting what he promised - misery for the poor and prosperity for the obscenely wealthy. Live with it. They donā€™t have a single excuse except for their lack of intelligence.
