I know many Africans and Nigerians like this dude, they claim, oh he loves America, he does what's best for his country bla bla bla. But the truth is, Trump is just an entitled white supremacist and all his followers are same. who will suffer for this tariffs ? The same Americans because Americans will pay that 15% on imported goods, not the exporters because it will be factored in the cost of the goods already.

Now the whole of Europe and Uk who are America's allies now want to do business with China and other countries because they can no longer trust the USA under Trump. I guess no matter how big an Empire is, one big headed leader can bring it to its knees if care is not taken.
You are wrong! white supremacist or not he is entitled to seek the best interest of his country which happens to be America. Where ever you are from you will do well to seek the best interest of your country. Countries whose citizens love corruption and do not seek her best interest will go under and they will scatter all over the world with no Ine genuinely seeking their interests. About time Nigerians wisen up and kick out the kleptocrats who have turned Nigeria into a barren land!
With bigntariffs strain them in the face America will start manufacturing what she needs thus generating employment. We will then see whom blinks first. America ismnot about togo on its knees. Instead it is Europe that is already roped in! Going forward you willmseemthat playing out.

The end is near, come midterms he would have little to no power left, the Democrats will control both legislative chambers and almost a 100% chance they'll try to impeach him. At the very least, they won't fund his immigration agenda thereby rendering him useless!

You spoke well. That's why, Islamically, you can't be threatening your spouse with divorce because you're teaching that partner to look elsewhere.
The world will reset. Sincere alignment will take place between countries. Bilateral agreements, Sincere trade pact and lot more .
No more US say Iran is bad through Isreali lobbyists and the whole of Europe will take arms and goto Iran.
Every country will think critically and carefully on what it will benefit from this and that..

Lies.

China had all the power in the world and Britain was seeing its recognition and trade, they refused.

US Imposes 10% Global Tariff On All Countries
This guy is mental unstable and unfit to be president. Supreme court just rule that your tariff is illegal and yet is rasing the tariff yet again.

How can a number 1 citizen be flouting highest court order . What blazing contempt of the law. Well what does one expected from ex felon.

His impeachment will be loud, because soon or later the Republican will realize how dangerous this guy is to their democracy and will join hands with democrats to impeach him.

No any regards for rules of law.

I always like as President Trump writes you will read: , "that I, as President of the United States of America", . showing he is in charge.

In Nigeria, you will read the Federal Government of Nigeria... showing it is the Federal Government that is in charge

Infact his days are numbered.

No respect for the rule of law again except his feelings. This is what Kamala Harris warned against during election.

He is going to be impeached by December or latest January after his party loses the midterms,he is a pathetic clown.

Whilst the contractors steal all the money.

They've failed an audit so many times:

grin

As of the December 2025 announcement, the Pentagon has failed its annual audit eight consecutive times. Since mandatory audits began in 2018, the Department of Defense (DoD) has failed to receive an "unmodified" (clean) opinion on its financial records, remaining the only major federal agency to never pass.

I remember when Joe Biden wanted to forgive Americans students loans, the supreme court said In a ruling that it was unconstitutional and that was the end of it. But it seems like this guy is basically saying the supreme court decision is not bidding on him and as you said just noise.

You can’t say you regret. You can never use that word regret so you knew.

You knew who he was and you just chose to ignore. Saying you regret is not acceptable.

What has he done that amazes you? He was projected to do all, and he is doing. So where did your regret come from?

I didn’t support him, but nothing he has done surprises me. He was about that life and didn’t hide it. You knew, you just ignored.

These political brouhahas between world powers have been causing the financial market to be in turbulence and unstable for the past 3 weeks so far.

Market conditions have changed so much that financial traders have been finding it difficult to get a hold on the actual direction of the market.

We all hope the storm will soon be over.

You would finally isolate the United States from the world.

Anyway, America movies I watch have made me believe that America is self sufficient as a nation. They got it all!! tongue cool undecided
No country in the world is selfsufficient.

In reality, the richer you are as a country, the more interdependant you are.

Self sufficiency doesnt make you rich, it actually improverishes you.
