Yeah I know what a liability is. The problem is that you consider humans to be liability. Oddly you don't seem to consider the possibility of humans to be an asset in your everything is money mindset.
As you admit Americans don't know anything about tariffs. Trump is doing a more extreme version of what all American Presidents do. The US is always doing shenanigans on trade.
Two thirds of Americans either voted for Trump or didn't bother to vote at all. You're facing down fascism and y'all are like relax, everything is going back to normal soon.
You don't realize that Trump isn't the cause of your problems, he's a symptom of a deeper cultural problem in the US. We all thought Trump's first term was an aberration. Americans got scammed by a con man. After Jan 6 and Trump being convicted of 34 counts of fraud it would be impossible for him to be President again. Turns out, Americans want Trump. It's just who you are.
When Trump is gone, there will be someone like him again. Probably worse. Trump is an idiot, a more competent fascist would be far more dangerous. We now know Americans actually want fascism. How else can you explain people voting for a criminal that tried to destroy democracy? If a fascist just kept the price of gas low, they'd be President for life. That's 21st century America. Hell even with Trump being an incompetent fool, destroying the economy, his associations with Epstein, about a third of Americans would vote for him again. You keep telling yourselves "look at how unpopular he is now!" when about a third of Americans would vote for a goddamn child molester because he's fascist and they want fascism.
You keep acting like the problem is that I'm "too excited." Sorry but no, the actual problem is that you're not upset. You see your country descending into fascism and pretend it's all going to turn out fine. It's not going to be fine.
I’ll be honest I didn’t bother reading past the first sentence in your response. Once again you’ve gotten too excited and have disregarded my reply and inserted your own straw man argument.
I hope you eventually learn to calm down and actually read the other persons response.
Ignorant American is proud of being ignorant. Typical.
Typical Canadian, not worth my attention.
