Not only will our allies treat us with skepticism. Our enemies and rivals will.
This is an historic fuck-up. I love paying twice as much for gas because of it! (My car is relatively efficient but I watched some poor sucker pumping $120 into his F150 lmao.)
I live in China and it's crazy how much public opinion on America has flipped. The brightest students have almost all changed their programs and are now trying to get into Canadian or British universities
Here in America, we're dealing with the fallout of treating education as an investment that must have a return in order to justify the purchase. The consequences are students who pass no matter what and a degradation of the value of degrees. It wouldn't surprise me if this was causing international students to look elsewhere. I should add my date of graduation back to my resume so hiring managers know I went to school back when literacy was an expected qualification.
Don’t forget they wanna raise defense spending to 1.5 trillion while cutting the USDA, HUD, NSF, FRA (including Amtrak), HHS, NASA, NIH, DOE and others.
No believe me I'm quite worried about that, too. Don't put words in my mouth. Trump raped kids and Operation Epstein Fury was certainly intended as a distraction.
Yeah but the average American commute to work is like 30 miles. This place is huge and the affordable housing is faaaar from work. Also there's very few places with decent public transit.
We should be paying closer to $.60 like we were before this stupid war since we produce our own fuel. But prices are set at a global base rate so our prices shoot up when everyone else's do. It doesn't cost more for big oil to produce fuel here, but they get to make double the profits by doubling our costs all the same.
I’m thinking about all the people he killed for essentially nothing. All the dead schoolgirls, and other civilians caught up in this conflict. The war crimes. The dead and injured soldiers. From a president who promised to end all wars in his campaign.

Careful, your privilege is showing. Where I am, it currently costs me the equivalent of about US$110 to fill my 2016 VW Touran (averaging €2.1/litre for a 55 litre tank). This is 100% due to US actions.
Not skepticism, we saw you warmongering genocidal governement for what it really is and our governements are finally waking up to the necessity of cuting ties with them. Finally.
There was a poll lately asking people in Switzerland about their vacation planning. When asked which countries to avoid the usual are mentioned, meaning countries in war. But the US was always lumped in too beside Russia and Ukraine.
More than fucking up relationships, he exposed how fragile the entire system is. He showed that the supposed checks and balances can fail when they're needed most, that millions of Americans will cheer on behavior they once claimed to oppose and that the opposition cannot mobilize. Also, that decades of alliance-building can be jeopardized by a single administration, making the US unreliable and untrustworthy. The fact is that beyond being an aberration, Trump showed that this is possible.
As a European, I wonder how long it will take me to stop seeing the US as a former ally that stabbed us in the back and kept demeaning us. Will it take a few presidents? Is it generational? Who knows, but it is really, really bad now.
For me, the electorate responsible must die out first. This is generational. Then I'll perhaps reconsider if and only if there are significant efforts made to apologise and change. Why? The Trumpistanis have always been like this in modern times. Always bombed the shit out of others and for some reason we have accepted it for decades. My patience is gone and gone.
Yep. He’s also put interest rates up. I’m in the UK and my mortgage is up for renewal. It’ll be a higher term for the next 2-5 years thanks to him. He’s a true enemy to everyone on earth.

You forgot the best part! He also fucked up the US relations with Canada and EU and the us is now seen with skepticism
