    It was all a trap.

    They just invited him over so they can try to bully him and attack his character with bullshit arguments in front of everyone so they can have that “tough guy” image for their moronic supporters. How fucking pathetic.

    No one will want to go over to the US to negotiate anything now.

      America is squarely in an age of decline now. Our allies will start moving on without us. We’ll start being left out of all sorts of deals/agreements. Our global power will decline. The future is going to another country. Probably China.

      All because dumbfuck conservatives care more about owning the libs than voting responsibly.

        “Decline” is an understatement. Trump is turning the US into a pariah rogue state, and he’s doing it fast.

        I may have a bit of a rose-colored view of the US, or at least its potential to have its conscience pricked by the notion that tomorrow can be freer than today, but if we don’t care about that anymore, then whatever it was that made America a more palatable hegemon than the USSR or China is gone. The USA is just another transactional actor, and not even a particularly reliable one. At this point, Trump has literally threatened more individual souls with annexation than China has.

      That doesn’t stop any toddler from saying they are disrespected at home… Are you saying he wants the numerous tariffs negotiations to fail?!?

      I tend to agree with you 100%, yet the stock market hasn’t reacted. 🤷‍♂️
