Every day waking up to yet another insane declaration from Trump. America is losing the respect of the world

@HappyNewFeckingYear well mn must be powerful enough for putin to apparently waste time sending Russian bots in to us

Word is that they're struggling to get back the nuclear workers that they fired.

So it appears that the two axis of world power (US & China) are being threatened by a third upcoming power - Mumsnet
No wonder Justine wants us to pay.

I'd always thought that the third axis might one day be Europe up to the Urals.

They've started cutting support for veterans. I hope they continue because there is no surer-fire way to turn Trump's support base against him.

Gosh, Mnetters are responsible for Trump's presidency? Catch yerself on.😆 The Republican Party, Putin and Trump voters are responsible for it. Nowt to do with our wee site here in the UK.

And in today's issue of "WTF has he done now?" we have this. Oopsie.😱

An awful lots of Americans are beginning to understand what a huge mistake they made voting for Trump. A wake up call!

I don't think that's reflected in polling. He's pretty much doing what voters gave mandate to do

You've no idea how much. I used to work in an American organisation and a colleague was shocked that we didn't study American history in school. They honestly see America as the centre of the universe.

Unfortunately you could be right there - many Americans are very insular .

I very much doubt it. I can't imagine that people who voted for Trump keep up with current affairs.

I wish you were right about people waking up to regret, but I just don't see the majority of his voters admitting anything. Most Americans seem to have no idea what's really happening. I've seen lots of people saying that local news isn't even covering what DOGE/Musk is doing. I worry that they are really good at manipulating things so it's always someone else's fault.

All a distraction from the day to day lives of Americans with cost of living being forefront. We went over the border for lunch last week and prices are increasing- tariffs will hurt.

Can't imagine why, he's doing exactly what he said he'd do (plus a lot of power grabbing/anti democratic stuff that a child could have predicted).

Let's hope it is sooner rather than later. America needs to wake up quickly.

An awful lots of Americans are beginning to understand what a huge mistake they made voting for Trump. A wake up call!

I agree with Sparklingems let USA sort themselves out - if you are a lefty it's shit if you are right wing yahoo. If some of the free speech border vetting and trans nonsense stuff wafts over hear i will be grateful

"The majority on this thread, and others like it, don't seem to realise their own extreme rhetoric has pushed an awful lot of Americans to vote for him."

The cause of Trump's victory was the propaganda propagated by the right wing - the dodgy conspiracy theories on X, the right wing media (Fox news et al), racist rhetoric, 4 Chan, Q Anon, Facebook algorithms pushing pure lies... and all the rest. It's called brainwashing.

Don't try to blame it on people pushing back against it and calling it out for what it is.

Brainwashed, blind or deliberately obtuse. Trying to work out which.

US will pay tariffs on imports. Bigly intends this to decrease imports so US buys American. Other countries will either not buy from US or, if they need to buy US product, will pay the increased prices of US goods caused by the imposition of the import tariffs. Either way, its going to cost.

I may be understanding this wrong, but aren't tariffs on goods coming into America, not going out of it?

However, now Europe has been scared into upping defence spending, UK and Europe will be in the market for some big shiny bangy new weapons. Expensively made and traded by US of A. And as we demand lots more of it, Bigly will impose his new tariffs on the imports. Think like a Donald.

Sorry mate, the rest of the world isn’t going to sit by while your orange-faced baboon with his baby faced bearded deputy and their botoxed to fuck megalomaniac mate plot to invade other countries, disestablish the world, and bring some Handmaiden Tale shit to us all just so the richest county in the world can make more money.
We aren’t a revenue stream for the US - so go ahead and take back aid from people who really need it, fire all your sane government employees or at least the ones who won’t fall in line with the new world order, free the criminals who tried to overthrow your elected government… just leave the rest of us out of it.
Oh, and tell tangerine man that we don’t take your over sized, fuel guzzling, shitty cars because they’re too big, too expensive, fuel guzzling and shit. It’s not a mystery.

Happy Flag Day Canada - let’s continue to celebrate 🙌

Yes please! It's been dull, dark, wet and freezing cold for weeks now. The outback would suit me fine. I'm sure he would build a collection of Trump towers for us to live in.

@Turkeyneck101 well zekensky said oil prices mean putin can well afford to keep things going and he can draw on soldiers from other nations.

I don't think it's giving into putin at akk6, putin wanted Kiev and another Russian puppet government there.
Won't happen.
And once it's stopped completely the moment they agree to concede both of them, Ukraine can be properly armed.
It can get fighter jets in and propery arm the border.

Russia is winning this war and Ukraine can't win it

It's the Gulf of Mexico.
Canada is not a US state.
Gaza is not a real estate trade.
Greenland is not for sale.

The world is not American.
