Trump Enslavement Syndrome - Orange man good. /r/The_Donald and any public demonstration of rabid pro-Trump enthusiasm in spite of all reason.

if Mexico gets fucked over, then more immigrants will want to come in or even illegally cross.
This will always happen regardless. If the Republicans actually put a stop to immigration (they won't), then the Employers (who want cheap labor) will support the Democrats next time, who will gladly oblige and take the campaign donations. It's a function of the U.S. being the World Reserve Currency; this is Capitalism.
 
We had a good conversation with President Trump with great respect for our relationship and sovereignty; We reached a series of agreements:

1.Mexico will reinforce the northern border with 10,000 members of the National Guard immediately, to prevent drug trafficking from Mexico to the United States, particularly fentanyl.

2.The United States is committed to working to prevent the trafficking of high-powered weapons to Mexico.

3.Our teams will start working today in two areas: security and commerce.

4.Tariffs are paused for one month from now.

This reads like a blanket declaration.

Also, Trump's statement with "deal" indicates he didn't get everything he wanted and is still in negotiations.

It really confounds me WHY Trump nominated RFK for that position, when his two pet initiatives are:

It’s Bannon‘s ‘Flood The Zone’ strategy, similar to the Russian regime’s vranyo strategy. You overwhelm everyone with crazy bullshit to distract and desensitize. They know RFK Jr (as well as Gaetz and Gabbard) has little chance of making it past the gatekeepers, but it placates his supporters that fell in behind Trump and distracts the media & pundits from real plays they’re making. You let loose a barrage of doodoo & vomit like GG Allin while your cohorts pick the audience's pockets.

”Democrats don’t matter. The real opposition is the media. And the way to deal with them is to flood the zone with shit.” - Steve Bannon

I can already hear the glazing..."Another brilliant Trump negotiation tactic!" Otherwise known as concocting a crisis, coming up with a permanent or temporary solution to that fake crisis, then doing a victory dance to take credit for solving a problem he created. Many such cases with DJT. And while everyone's distracted by it, unelected tech-billionaires take over the government. A few thousand more Mex border guards will do nothing when 80% of fent's coming through US ports...may even make the border smuggling worse as this gives troops opportunities to supplement their incomes.

I bet that's the approximate number that guards the border anyway. It's like government spending in the UK; they announce that they're going to fund something with x amount of money and the day after it's discovered that 3/4 of that was already earmarked for it anyway.

EDIT: somebody on the interwebz had the same thought as me but made it into a meme:

Port situation is supposed to be mitigated by Trump closing the de minimis exception loophole, which previously exempted any package with a declared value under $800 from tariffs. (rf. §2(g) of "Imposing Duties to Address the Synthetic Opioid Supply Chain in the People’s Republic of China")

Don't know how effective this is going to be at preventing fent from getting in, but it's going to kill Temu, AliExpress, Shein, etc. dead in the water, and it's really going to hurt for Amazon.

Tomorrow is going to be a very interesting day for the stock market.

I wonder if they're going to try the UK system where marketplaces (eBay, aliexpress, Amazon etc.) have to collect the import tax and send it to HMRC. All sellers are supposed to collect import tax on purchases of less than £135 and Customs send you the bill when it hits the border for purchases over £135. What actually happens is that everybody except the marketplaces either a. refuse to sell to the UK, b. never bother to collect the tax or c. they use a courier that does the import duties for them. Customs can't cope with the volume of stuff coming in so you're unlikely to get taxed for purchases under £135. I've bought something from the USA <£135 and never paid tax but the shipping was expensive af for a tiny thing so it might've been rolled into that.

For purchases below a certain value, it's a net cost to the state for customs to process them and send you a bill.

It is. That is what is already guarding there anyways and besides, isnt the US Army deployed there? Wouldn't that be redundant and technically speaking... oh I don't know. A waste since that would mean that those US soldiers are there for no reason now? MAGA of course doesn't realize this... just like how it's Patriotic to pay more...

Also, muh "these tariffs are non-negotiable and you will like it. You will eat the Bugs Mexico and canada!"

yet Trump backed out like a bitch after only 2 days... the exact morning as the Market began to crash.

Trump Derangement Sydrome seems to have lost it's meaning at this point as a majority of the sane population has every reason to dislike him.

He'll still keep trying though. There is a theory that the heads of Canada and Mexico may be complying to Trump's demands.

It seems like trump backed off. However, MAGAtards won’t see it as that. They will see it as him “playing 4D chess”, but I’m sure his advisers told him to cut the shit.

It is the same thing they did in 2019 with 15000 National Guard troops.

So it is less than before, and the big win vs. Canada is that he got more border security that was already on its way and funded in December last year. So he got nothing.
American goods are being removed from Canadian store shelves; the sentiment of not buying American goods is growing in Canada and Europe. I know I am canceling all my American-based subscriptions, I know my mom is, and things like Tesla are no longer the car we talk about buying when I have beers with friends.

At my job, we have an unofficial mandate not to buy from American suppliers during this procurement and testing round because if we make something and a trade war starts, we can not guarantee the price, availability or what ever else retarded thing happens.
 
The thing about "Trump Derangement Syndrome" is it mostly applies to Trump and his supporters. Trump says the most inane stuff, and then his supporters trip over themselves to agree and amplify the loudest. There is little critical thought, because MAGA created their own echo chamber in friendly media and social media. Basically they are parroting information back at each other, given themselves the illusion the rest of the country agrees with them.

While I can agree with many issues on the right, I can see Trump and Musk's approach is going to do a lot of harm. As bad as our system is, completely throwing out all the guardrails and letting the President act like a dictator is much worse.

Anyone who thinks they’re going to benefit from unchecked Trump/Musk power who isn’t a billionaire is huffing some pure grade delusion. We tried to warn ya’ll. Don’t come crying when your quality of life (whatever that may be) is severely diminished.
 
Mexico completely fucked Trump on that "deal"

There already was 10000 Mexican national guard on the border thanks to that Joe Biden guy who did it without almost crashing the stock market.
It’s the Art of the Deal™. Make a bunch of noise, get in an even worse position than before, make more noise that you won bigly and pray no one pays attention. A guarantee with Trump tards.

MAGA retards don't care. Their whole political stance is "if it will upset liberals, it's good". Even if it ends up with them homeless on the street because Elon wanted their money, they still would think it's worth it.
 
Personal anecdote - I was talking with my father over the past weekend. He's not hardcore maga or anything but he considers himself conservative and voted for Trump in the past three elections. I offhandedly mentioned the new tariff policy and how it could potentially be disasterous for our finances. His response was just to shrug his shoulders, lament "Oh, I really don't pay attention to that stuff. I'm not an economist," and move on to the next topic.

It's good for us who are terminally online to remind ourselves from time to time that we're living in a bubble. We live in a weird situation where your average idiot American can afford to completely tune out politics and insulate themselves from our governments poor choices. A lot of Americans don't actually know who Donald Trump really is outside of short, ten second clips where he promises to lower their gas prices or when he mockingly calls Joe Biden senile.

It's an unbelievably dumb world we find ourselves in right now, and I think the last few years have shown that the Democrats are woefully unprepared to tackle the Trump problem in our new age of quick internet content. But there's always hope things will get better. If you had travelled back in time a decade and told republicans that Donald Trump would soon have the entire party wrapped around his finger, they would have laughed you out of the room. There's always the potential that someone else can rise to political dominance and actually work to make things better for the average American as opposed to grifting off of Bibles and golfing while everything progressively gets worse.

ResetEra BTFO'ed. "Oh, I refuse to vote for Harris because she's going to ignore the genocide in Palestine." Good job, idiots. Now it really is going to get ignored. Israel is getting a free pass to do literally anything they want and the United States is going to fund the whole bill. This isn't a cost cutting measure, it's an eyelid sewing shut measure.

The only role that the Ammurrican regime plays in international organizations is to block any attempt to protect human rights on behalf of its jew masters, so yes, this is fantastic news. US out of the UN, US out of Hawaii and Ryukyu, US out of everywhere.

Lol, so exactly like Biden?

The only change is that this is one less international body where the US will interfere and veto any pro-human action on behalf of the jews.
