This dude is such an incredible fucking moron. Deportations thatll hit the economy, sanctions that will antagonise historican and current allies. Moves to conquer NATO territory. Leaving the WHO. All in your first fucking week. On top of that your priority is apparently also ensuring trans women get raped in a mens prison.

Russia and especially China are fucking laughing their asses off. Absolute fucking nimwit

I think Trump is laying the groundwork for the end of the US empire. He's an inept leader making threats at America's allies and foreign partners, while pursuing dim witted economic policies that will only damage the American economy in the long run.

It's all threats isn't it........I can only assume he had the shit bullied out of him at that military academy he finished top of the class at.......

The problem with threats is that at some point you have to act on them and if the US takes action against every nation it's threatened so far it will damage itself for decades to come.

Good to know his foreign policy so far is still threaten until you get what you want… or still don’t and ruin things for everyone. Classic.

So because Colombian coffee will now be more expensive, ALL coffee will become more expensive.

Canada has bird flu issues with their poultry yet their eggs are still under $4.00C a dozen. Here in Murica the corporate grocers and wholesale egg supplier are raking in the dough using the supply and demand excuse.

Same thing will apply to the American coffee wholesalers and corporate grocery chains.
