cathodekazim: And then European nations retaliate with their own 250% tariffs on U.S. goods. Who bears the brunt of this trade war? Certainly not the politicians making these decisions, but the everyday citizens who rely on these goods and services.
Trump, in his usual fashion, seems to believe that the United States is immune to consequences—as if the global economy operates in a vacuum. He envisions a world where America dictates terms without repercussions, forgetting that international trade is a two-way street. What goes around always comes around. If the U.S. slaps excessive tariffs on other nations, those nations will respond in kind, and in the end, it's the consumers and businesses that suffer from rising prices and economic instability.
But beyond Trump’s flawed approach, this escalating tariff war should serve as a wake-up call for all nations. Too many countries have built their economies on dependencies, relying on imports for essential goods rather than investing in self-sufficiency. This kind of over-reliance has made them vulnerable to the whims of global politics. Instead of constantly playing defense in trade wars, nations should focus on strengthening their industries, producing what they need, and reducing their dependence on any single country.
The world needs balanced trade, not economic brinkmanship driven by ego. If leaders continue to treat international trade like a game of dominance, the people will continue to pay the price.
Trump is fighting for level plain field.
Europe can sell cars in America but they don’t take American cars.

Wallade: United States of America runs a democracy that has been tested over time and is protected with institutions and designed to check and balance situations.
USA president and institutions can't defy the courts, especially the Supreme Court.
There will be severe consequences for such president. It is enough ground for impeachment.
Even if Trump tries it, he will still be messed up because the system will disappoint and checkmate him.
What trump said is not fully wrong, he said if the parents are immigrants they have to be in the country legally, at least one of them and if one of the parents is a legal resident.
The 14th amendment can be modified to what its in the , EU , Africa UK and Australia, where citizenship is automatically granted if one parent is a citizen or permanent resident. Again the Supreme court will decide
The birth right citizenship was passed because of slaves and red indians. When the rule was made they were not thinking about u in africa or chinese, it was for there own sub class of people as of the time. The matter will drag for long and reach supreme court. The Supreme court of the US can stamp the amendemnt. Having said that i am neither for or against it, Wetin concern me
The truth of the matter is that it encourages illegal migration mostly from central and south america.
They havent even mentioned chinese and indians those ones are abusing the system massively with theri billions of population. India is worse than Nigeria as abusers
