        Listen, Americans need to fix their shit. It’s affecting the rest of the world in a bad way. If Americans can’t stand up to these assholes running their country then, yes, the rest of the world would prefer America fails quickly and stops being a drag on the rest of the world. Most people in the world would much rather Americans fix their shit, but it doesn’t look like it’s headed that way.

          Well maybe the world shouldn’t have relied on America for technology protection and all the other shit they do. It was short sited sited and stupid to let your companies be purchased by a foreign country.

          The onus is on you to show why that would preferable. It’s super easy to just say things would be better if.

          I’m curious how a collapse of the largest economy and sudden diaspora of the largest military on earth would be a non-drag on anyone else. Even if a wizard waved a wand and made the US disappear, there would definitely still be global pain.

          I wonder how unconcerned the rest of the world would be with an untethered Trumpistan south, freshly empowered by their de jure abandonment of all laws and any diplomacy, armed with nukes and infrastructure operated by hand picked loyalists.

    So his argument is basically “I can bomb a county but I can’t extort a country for protection money”. Amazing.

    “I can destroy the trade. I can destroy the country,” Trump said.

    “I’m allowed to impose a foreign destroying embargo, I can embargo, I can do anything I want, but I can’t charge $1.” In a bizarre explanation, Trump said he “was very modest in my ask of other countries”.

    “I didn’t want to do anything that would affect the decision of the court,” he said.

    “I wanted to be a good boy.”

    “I didn’t want to hurt you, but you’ve left me no choice.” He thinks about everything like a violent, abusive rapist. Probably because he’s a violent, abusive rapist.

    The US got the president it voted for. But I like that his leopard is eating a lot of republican faces too.
