Trump Threatens ‘100% Tariffs’ Against Countries Trying To ‘Move Away’ From US Dollar: ‘Wave Goodbye To America’

It's too bad twenty something percent of voting age Americans voted for a Russian asset. At least it's just a small percentage of people who are that dangerously stupid. Unfortunately, though, the whole world will still pay the price for those fools' hate fueled idiocy.

Ah yes…. Isolationism… that’ll do *wonders* for trade policy. Businessman in the White House, they said. Run the country like a business, they said. That’ll make America great, right?

… right?

When there is a bully around. People gather together to defend themselves. The bully in question is in process of alienating his allies. Who won't be in any real hurry to come help. Especially as they also have tariffs put on them. The US general public are going to have a rocky four years. Strange that they didn't learn anything from the first Trump term. If the BRICS nations do decide to set up an alternative currency. It will take years of creating one or haggling over the use of an existing one. But they could easily switch to the Euro. Which would destroy alot of American power overnight. Because no one knows how much currency is out there around the world. Allowing them to print it and not really be accountable to the usual effect of inflation. But if large trading groups flipped. Banks would also flip. Countries all around the world would also start to flip. The end result could be a complete financial meltdown to a long lasting depression.
