Trump hating one’s, go on…

Exactly! The people support calling out a dictators actions. Rather than to participate in ritualistic billionaire butt kissing.

So which country is the “new” world leader snd why?

China has quite literally built physical real world ties across the globe with its belt and road initiative. They've shackled many developing countries with debt challenging the US' hegemony and trade. Not to mention they've 6x their power generation in just 20years and built a high speed railroad across their entire country in less than that. Along with a 97% literacy rate compared to US' 79%. If they continue on the same road at the same pace they're set to become the leader of the world whether the US likes it or not. We missed our chance to stay ahead messing around in the middle east and paying off banks in 2008.

Meanwhile, chronic illness, obesity, infertility, and mental health disorders are skyrocketing, and we’re told it’s just bad luck or “genetics.”

The real dangerous fluorides aren't the inorganic versions in tap water its the organic flourides aka Teflon that DuPont convinced everyone is safe to use in cooking pans and millions of other products across the US. That organic fluoride is what's building up in organisms across the globe contributing to a lot of these. Not to mention the entire same generations that went through the leaded gas phase. Those brain dead idiots are leading the country now.

Won’t go far. the first time a war starts or they need weapons or need “climate change” paid for or have a world problem they can never solve?

they come running right back to the USA.

That's because we built world respect and built the entire world trade around the USA and the USD. That trust and respect has been shattered by a dictator and his billionaire cronies.

Private and Charter Schools

Thats exactly why they're pursing this making education only the rich can afford. Dictators love keeping the populace uneducated. No one can challenge them if they're believing his lies, and willfully blinding themselves from his scandals. You wind up being a keyboard warrior like everyone's hated friend here. Blindly supporting the modern musallini, we can only hope it ends the same way for this dictator.

we voted for an American president not a globalist

Only a weak coward uses strength to bully the weak if thats who you look up to it's no wonder you openly supporting a dictator. History will won't how the Trump cult could ignore basic facts or history and believe in a fantasy. Thats exactly how cults work tho they have their supports defending it until they die.

Who ever said buying an election couldn't get a major public case covered up. Gotta hide the scandalous backdoor dealings. Not surprising that well over half his campaign funds were provided by just a hand full of billionaire donors looking for favors exactly like this.

Because we don't have a globalist President.

Exactly! We have an isolationist coward that makes America both look weak and like we won't honor our deals. Why should they sign on to our war plans if there is no guarantee Trumps gonna flip flop on our allies. That even if they sign a deal the old dictator is gonna try to illegally revoke it, while congress and the courts catch up.

No one is paying attention to this story but the libs

Because conservative outlets are too busy covering up his illegal actions and scandals. His mismanagent of the economy, trade, international relations. Have all rocked his administration and turned his presidency into the laughing stock of the last 2 and half centuries. History is going to be harsh on this dictator.

Perhaps Trump should devote his time to coming up with retaliation tariffs against Russia instead of our allies. All of these deaths are needlessly happening because he continues to aid Russia with sanction relief and withdrawal of military aid to Ukraine.

Wake up.

Is it finally time to start building the guillotines for the rich? So long as money continues to reign in politics the average citizen will keep loosing. It stems from Citizen United vs FEC, but very few are actually calling for it to be overturned. Nor for campaign finance rules to be changed. Instead we're stuck with bad actors and billionaires that attack allies with tarriffs.

I mean, if you’re living in or near areas with frequent bear sightings, why wouldn’t you carry it? We’re talking about a cheap, non-lethal tool that has been proven effective at stopping bear attacks and preventing reoccurrences.

If a bear charges a human or attacks in the US it is euthanized. Same if they loose their fear of humans or damage property. If they're allowed to proliferate to the point of becoming a nuisance, either relocation or euthanasia is the only way. Unless you want to start a foundation that neurters and spays wild bear.

Why does “science” need to “estimate”?

The same reason the load value of your roof and floor is an estimate. So they dont have to break it to find out. And just like house roof or floor once it's totally collapsed there is no fixing it. Instead like most that are facing climate change their winding up homeless or are looking to move to less inhospitable places. A luxury only the super rich can buy.

May it burn the Republican Party to the ground. Maybe something productive will come out of the ashes rather than billionaire butt kissing.

A figure that could have dire consequences for Japan economy.  

They're already weathering it fine, neither Toyota nor Honda stocks where damaged on the news. Trump thinks tariffs are some sort of military weapon he can wield and everyone will be scared. Instead it just drives up the cost of doing business with America. Which further isolates it and making it a risky place to invest and build in. Not to mention drives wedges between allies that we'll need to be very close. As more fear builds on the dollar and bond market Japan might look to get rid its risky debt holdings.

Don’t have to accept or agree, but have a clear understanding to what outcomes are at stake.

Yes, a dictatorship that actively harms American interests and relations. An old man who's lost touch with the world surrounded by yes men and conspiracy theorists. Who's attack friendly allies with tariffs because foolish men are telling him it's sound economics.

The outcomes at stake is America's future standing and whether it will be the most hated country that lags behind in development while the rest of the world carries on. Or actually grows up to embrace our values of liberty, freedom, and prosperity for all. Though with our current leader it seems more that we'll fall to the fears and weaknesses of prejudice, envy, pride and xenophobia.

democrats insist all wake up and offer credible proactive political economic alternatives,

At the moment democrat opposition is wallowing in reactive policies, instead of generating proactive creditable change of direction to President Trump administration.

Your absolutely not wrong the people that prevented a Bernie Sanders ticket, absolutely created Trump and are in the democrat establishment right now. Schumer Pelosi everyone from both parties that bailed out the banks in 2008. They created the situation we're in and the rules they pushed through for this 50+1 nonsese is exactly what polarized America and made it to where we no longer compromise. It literally set up the dictatorship. But not calling it what is won't get anywhere.

A gun previously presented to him as an official gift was reportedly found next to his body.

Sounds like he was killed for dereliction of duty. Probably embellizing from the war effort. I bet they're looking at a lot of fat to cut now that they're economy is on the brink.

substance of his policies

There is no substance to his politics. Just a gerontocracy blindly lashing out at world changing around him. In fact that sums up the the entire MAGA movement.

Consider objectivity and pragmatism could be needed here.

Spitting nails at Trump will not change bring about compromise.

Don't blame me for not supporting a dictators actions. 2 courts have already ruled these Tariffs illegal. Dont gotta spit nails at the devil, he knows what he is. The only one not compromising or being pragmatic is Trump and the people whispering bad economics into his ear. Acting like these weren't idiotic ideas that harm the American people and drive up inflation is foolish at best, carefully designed destruction of international relations at worst. Not calling a duck a duck and instead trying to call it a trophy bull doesn't make it a lame duck.

It costs an and a leg to import a US automobile into Japan too.

over 30% in of the vehicle's price.

The duty for America is 10%

The VAT is 25%

35%30%

For Trucks and Vans it's a 50% duty if they're under 25 years

Could it not be vested interests approached the Trump campaign?

Vested interest indeed approach Trumps campaign these Tariff ideas came straight from project 2025. He also instilled many of those who worked on Project 2025 including his economics adviser who openly pushed for Tariffs long before Trump hoped on the bandwagon. Despite every economist saying that it's a terrible idea and will make international trade more expensive which hurts everyone. It's the American people that pay the tax after all.

There is a clearly walked through agenda, ruthless, overly aggressive, public, the lack political diplomacy unprecedented.

It's less walked through and refined than a cave man beating a rock with his bare fist. The bumbling idiotic dictator and his cronies came up with this plan to distract everyone while they set up their concentration camps and militarize the police. Not to mention the texting scandal, middle east payback scandal, and the hundreds of lawsuits pending against his administration.

To be fair 25% still generous compared that to unchanged 700% tariff that being imposed by Japan for US Rice.

Don't blame japan for stopping America from destroying their agriculture industry like they did to Mexico when they signed NAFTA.

This is a tax Americans have to pay to import anyway. It's nothing other countries actually pay. Isolationism is never the way for any modern economy to work. He's just sticking a big fat middleman into international trade.

Freedom of speech and freedom of the press are necessary and essential in order for people to have the freedom to make an informed choice at the ballot box. Censorship precedes dictatorship.

Freedom of speech does not mean freedom to defame and lie. Censorship is restriction of factual information, not restriction of lies. If it can killed by the truth it deserves it. Open lying and misinformation does little more than censor the truth. Thats the real Censorship in our society going on.

A poll? Which poll?

5 different polls over a 10 year period. Pew Research Center, EUAFRA, ILGA, GLOBSEC, Záveck Research, all showing the majority of Hungarians support LGBTQIA+ rights. Those in charge that passed these draconian laws are getting slaughtered in the polls.

Wildfires this season are gonna be brutal.

No point trying to sign a deal with a dictator.

What this really means is they want to censor freedom of speech to stop people saying bad things about them.

Or to straight up prevent lies, and foreign governments like Russia and china

MAGA voters getting what they voted for....

The Shaft...

Their neighbors, family, grandchildren, work, health, economy. All of it's getting the shaft.
