Let me throw this at you.
First of i am originaly from europe so i know whats going on there and its a fucking joke and fuck merkel that cunt.
Second after moving to canada and living here for almost 20 years i can tell you china has its hands in everything here. China is very bad for us but our goverment keeps selling the whole country to them. And we get jack shit in return so we the people fuckin hate china and its goverment. Not the chinese people .
Our liberal politics ruined this great country where the only way out is to separate from canada which i can only hope for.
So i am on the trump train and the america first train.
If trufuckyoudodo would had not sent all our ppe to china and if he would closed the borders to china which he didnt due to chinese controll we would have a lot less issues then we have now.
US is doing the right thing by taking care of itself FIRST.
This whole help everybody and deal with your own problem later is what killed europe taking in million ls of migrants but their own people are living paycheck to paycheck etc.
I am rambling i have a headache and i am at work trying to finish my project and on the phone so with more time and sanity i could write you a nice asa
Well that's nice and all, but at the end of the day you will have to admit that the US's role in world politics has been diminished a lot under Trump. And that was even something Trump campaigned on, so it shouldn't come as a surprise now.
And "taking care of itself first" is also nice, but considering the case numbers and deaths in the US it apparently didn't work out at all.
The problem wasn't the "America First" approach, but rather a lack of expertise in the administration. Especially a lack of trust in science, which is also a trait Trump made abundantly clear in the election.
See, I'm a democrat, not in the US sense of Democratic Party but in the sense of the word.
I appreciated Trump as a populist who clearly stated his positions, much more clearly than presidential candidates before him.
And many voters liked that and voted for it.
Now they will have to live with what they voted for.
But when I read some comments here I get the feeling that some are not getting the connection between what Trump said over the past couple of years and the things that are now happening as a result of that.
China gaining influence is a result of Trump's politics.(1)
Europe distancing itself from the US is a result of Trump's politics.(2)
A pandemic going horribly in the US is a result of Trump's politics.(3)
And massive wealth redistribution from bottom to top is also a result of Trumps' politics.(4)
(1) He campaigned on leaving and fighting international institutions.
(2) He constantly attack the EU and the EU value foundation.
(3) He always rejected science and expert opinions.
(4) He literally ran on tax breaks for the rich and corporations and celebrated when hundreds of billions went into stock buybacks that made rich people richer.
This is what the people wanted, now they have to own it.
The Coronavirus is a catalyst for many developments that were going on anyway, but the things happening now aren't random. They are the predictable result of policies, words, and actions.
