I would prefer this not be posted as well, but Trump picking fights with foreign leaders is undeniably on topic.

Honey, Trump isn't the one picking fights with foreign leaders. THEY'RE picking fights with him because he won't do what they want him to. Read the room. Zalenskyy came into OUR home. Disrespected OUR leader, and suddenly it's Trump's fault? Nah. Fuck off with that.

Oh wow. The world enjoys iPhones and the world ending movies takes place in New York, and for some reason people speak in Ebonics in foreign lands. Such power.
And It's debatable to even claim our media holds any power these days with hollywood on a very obvious decline right now and foreign media from europe, korea, and japan taking prominence. The US used to control video games as well and now China is taking over. US soft power is non existent, all we have is hard power and we can hardly use it without anyone whining.
 
The "soft power" the US has just makes me hate Woodrow Wilson even more. His presidency has been a detriment to modern day politics now more than ever.
Probably should blame FDR more, Wilson, the nigger faggot that he was, at least tried to be isolationist until the banks took over. FDR outright wanted to put the US on the global stage
 
If it passes the legislature, good, but if it doesn't, its gonna be abyssal optics after 4 years to be the president to decide that english isn't the official language anymore.
If this was a higher-priority issue I'd agree, but I doubt most people would even notice one way or another if it was reversed due to how limited most peoples' interactions with the federal government are.

However, one big benefit is it starts to normalize this being the policy for as long as it's in effect. It's easier to pass legislation if people are used to the change and see it's not particularly disruptive and overall beneficial. The other piece that's needed is limiting immigration to put more pressure on non-English speakers to learn English.
 
The french are so lame they are making him look good while trying to paint him as a "tyrant" or whatever they are saying, I dont know, I dont speak surrender.
They're all fed nothing but Leftist news. You ask a Spanish who their Fiscal General del Estaso is, or a brit who their MP is, they'll have to Google it. But if you ask them who Kamala Harris is, they sure as fuck know her and will call you a bigot for not voting for her black ass.

Most of yall and even trump dont understand how fucked and globohomo the "chip" market is, im sure most of you know tawain makes alot of chips but did you knows its 90% of all of them in the whole world?
I'm sorry I'm double dipping in this post, but your take is so incredibly retarded that I can't resist. This isn't how trade works. Heck it's not even how business works. Those machines and their maintenance parts don't get to Taiwan unless Trump fucking says they do. I just charge outrageous tariffs on the Dutch cargo crossing the Canal and they're instantly fucked and shit out of luck. They now have to put these parts on much more expensive vessels going either around the horn of Africa or the Magellan Route. Good luck getting container capacity in those lanes without bankrupting yourself in shipping costs. If you think some Dutch faggoty company could ever engage in a trade war with America who has control of their cheapest and fastest trade lane with Taiwan, you're absolutely astronomically retarded.

Edit: Disregard, I'm hungover and retarded.

I’ll share my thoughts on the Zelensky suit debacle, from what I think it’s Trump’s POV. I won’t follow up on anything else and frankly I don’t give a fuck about the war.

Zelensky has been sporting a rugged “wartime” look ever since Putin invaded Ukraine. The first few weeks were a lot more theatrical, and you could tell the guy wasn’t sleeping, so it was much more believable.

However it’s been going on and Zelensky even showed up at Nortre Dame dressed like that. At its core, beyond if you support him or not or think it’s ridiculous, it’s Zelensky’s way of saying the war is still going on.

Trump obviously wanted to take credit for being the first guy whi forced Zelensky in a suit, but it was also symbolic. If Zelensky wears a suit, that means the war is over. Zelensky even said it himself. It’s also a new leaf—Trump is a peacemaker and wartime Zelensky is a relic of Biden’s era.

Zelensky fucked up with that message. Trump will likely force him to get a shave next time they meet, if ever.
 
I get so tired of people saying "were giving up our soft power"
I mean the thing with our soft power is that so much of it funded globohomo that in the end it was more of a wash than the liberals would like us to believe.

The real things when it comes to soft power is stuff like Ukraine, aka europes breadbasket. The bulk of international aid and imported food that went into Africa, comes from ukraine. If you want to talk to someone online, in many countries your choices are Whatsapp and facebook, both American companies, and you'll use them from an IOS or andriod, american products.

Thats the real soft power: being able to connect your allies to eachother, and making ecosystems you control. All this USAID silliness doesnt matter that much
 
That's exactly it. For the most part we get the worst parts of American culture, like outside of NATO we get pretty much the bad shit. BLM? we get that. Trans shit? we get that. Shit TV? we get that. Shit Music? we get that.

Imagine if you got the cool parts, like free speech and guns. Imagine.
 
If you read any of Art of War AND any of the Tao te Ching, it will be impossible to remember which verses goes with which, because they’re basically the same.

It’s all self congratulatory poetry. Every verse promises you’ll win at everything if you can understand the mystery behind simple statements of opinion.

One that comes to mind, and to illustrate my point that they’re indistinguishable, I can’t remember which one it’s from, is “it is not the pot which is useful. It is the emptiness within the pot which is useful.”

Ok, the emptiness lets you put shit in it. But the purpose of a pot is usually cooking, right? And you can cook on a griddle, which is flat and therefore does not contain emptiness
Machiavelli's Art of War is better. It does typically have a caveat of “these are guidelines, your situation may call for flexibility”.
 
Sandnigger terrorists and retarded faggots who worship sandnigger terrorists do not deserve the same rights as the rest of us, unironically. I’m ok with full on McCarthyism purge, send them to abu graib. The reason we torture terrorists is because they’re so unbelievably destructive. When you catch one, you have already saved like 20 innocents from death or critical condition/maiming. We should just be able to kill them, it should automatically become wartime rules if you catch a terrorist.

EDIT: and that should extend to ANYONE funding terrorists by, you know, buying their merch
Don't get me wrong here, I don't disagree with this one bit. I was more talking about how easily they will (not might, WILL) label "MAGA" as domestic terrorists in the future and do the exact same to us.
 
I rewatched the 2016 debates and Trump seems to have a special hatred for Hillary, he went after her harder than anyone else during his whole circuit. Why though? I mean there's a hell or a lot of reasons, but what specifically? Trump is basically a 90s Democrat as the saying goes and she is married to THE 90s Democrat.
 
The stock market has been in the red for 2 weeks now. There will be pain but you’ll be paying it, it only gets worse starting the 4th.
Biden made the economy suck so that all his commie buddies could get free cash. Trump is making the economy suck because the long-term good he wants to achieve requires some up-front pain. I'll take the latter.
