"If Donald Trump had been president in the 20th century, so much could have been avoided. World War I, World War II, the nuclear arms race, the Cold War —
Trump could have prevented all of this. After all, his last name means 'Truce.' We know that all politicians are often perceived as narcissistic.
They can be arrogant and boastful. But Trump is a step ahead — he is shamelessly narcissistic.
As a species, we should be more grateful to Trump. Thanks to his negotiations with God, the sun rises every day.
Thanks to his mediation, ships can sail the ocean. Without him, gravity would not exist."

Not my word

⚡Hamas leader Osama Hamdan:

22,000 aid trucks are waiting at the crossings amid the suffering of the people of the Gaza Strip.

The occupation is deliberately preventing aid trucks from entering Gaza as part of a systematic starvation policy.

The US was the heart and soul of the free trade movement during the 70s, the US can be solely credited for opening up the Chinese markets to the world. President Nixon laid the groundwork with Shanghai Communique.

The US has a large economically attractive market, economically attractive in the sense that a larger percentage of it populations are high earners, this means there's a need to encourage and promote home made products.

How the current economic system continues to not only work but flourish is an enigma ? I don't know how sustainable it is in the long run.

Enter the protectionist policy

The need to promote and encourage home made products led to the US protectionist policy during the 20s.
"The 1920s US auto industry boom was significantly influenced by protectionist policies. While not the sole driver, the imposition of high import tariffs on foreign cars, starting with the Fordney-McCumber Tariff Act of 1922, shielded the domestic industry from international competition, allowing it to flourish. This protection, coupled with mass production techniques and increased consumer spending, fueled the rapid growth of the American automobile market. "

The protectionist policy encouraged all sectors of the US economy and it contributed to the early economic boom in the 20s.

This policy also partly contributed to the great depression due to retaliatory tariffs.

Why would the US want to go down that road again ?

South Korean authorities dismantled loudspeakers on the border with North Korea, which transmitted broadcasts criticising the North Korean authorities.

Earlier, South Korean President Lee Jae-myung ordered the suspension of propaganda broadcasts as part of efforts to reduce tensions in relations with Pyongyang.

Call me a conspiracy theorist, but it looks very much like the recent Israel/Iran "handshake" has sent proper messages to other vassals of the US.

When push gets to shove, your country go don collect wetin no good before your mother-hen even comes to your aid😹.

Add that to the embarrassment that the Trump administration is swallowing from the Kremlin, and you just might recognize the recent posturing of so-called allies of Uncle Sam.

Nothing other than propaganda is ever clear to that fellow.

Mikasaobi:
The USA can’t go down that road again, it’s not possible, times have changed. The labour market in USA is too high compared to Asia. The USA has a massive deficit problem, previous large deficits are associated with war or economic crisis. Right now the USA government is borrowing almost the same amount they did during Covid when there was no economic activity. They are borrowing to prevent recession, Trump is trying to solve the deficit crisis with tariffs and also hoping Ai will develop new technologies to improve the economy. In a few months or years we’ll know. In my opinion they should cut spending, balance the budget, let the recession happen, the zombie companies will die and the economy will heal.

⚡India releases statement after Trump says to raise tariff:

“The targeting of India is unjustified and unreasonable. Like any major economy, India will take all necessary measures to safeguard its national interests and economic security,” the statement says

⚡Czech President Pavel:

Ukraine, even with full Western support, is currently unable to liberate all occupied territories quickly without heavy loss of life.

It would be unfair for the West to push Ukraine into such an effort now—we want Ukraine to survive as a sovereign, independent nation, not face extermination.

If preserving Ukraine's independence means temporarily accepting that some territory remains occupied—without ever legally recognising it as Russian—then so be it.

It's the same for every of his posts about the US.

If it was Russia, he'll go straight ahead to condemning them. No beating around the bush.

But since it's the US, he'll write long articles about how the US built and became the savior of world before even condemning what they did. Even if they kill a million people.

I just dey observe am since.

I did, but wanted to give a small explanation before saying the tariffs are not meant to bring back manufacturing jobs, they are meant to pay down the debt. And the economic system is flourishing because of debt.

Bro chill

I specifically asked you what part is unclear to you ?
If you're going to denigrate any country, the least you can do is pick a book or two about it, learn their strength as well as their weakness.

I believe things should be made simple not simpler, for the sake of this conversation I'll try to make it more lucid.

I made reference to a point in history when the US adopted the protectionist agenda, everything I said is fact, if you think otherwise just point out a lie and I'll unreservedly recant.

The Protectionist policy of the 1920s was effective until the 30s, the protectionist policy also played a huge part in the great depression, a period of economic hardship for the US.

Ever since the great depression, the US has championed the free trade movement and Trump going back to endorse the protectionist policy again is the opposite of what the world needs.

The current economic model the US runs is nothing short of an enigma, how sustainable it is in the long run is something we all should look forward to, more bloated or bust, we'll see.

WritterNg:
No one asked for that long article. No one cares what good they have done in the past.

What matters is what they're doing right now.

You see something that ain't right, you condemn it and keep moving.
