Actually, we're ALL preparing for War, but you go right ahead and think 'we all wuv you so vewy vewy much' you orange arrogant dimwit.
#BigHands is eroding the mere viability of #mairikkka and the #usd as a thing, with his dementia or idiocy or megalomaniacal narcissism or whatever things are going on in him.
America's "*Health Secretary*" thinks that "Beef Tallow" and "French Fries" are a "cure all" while watching kids die of preventable 'Measles'... and these are the same idiots trying to put Tariffs on Pharmaceuticals & Vaccines on Australia? What level of utter dipshittery are they thinking? Are these people officially The MOST stupid people on Earth or what?

So apparently that was just "Round 1" of the Tariffs, round two is about to start...
DT's arrogance in his escalating 'Tariffs Tantrum' risks losing Chinese minerals deal which US needs to survive..
"DT confirms 104% tariffs on Chinese goods as part of unfolding global trade war"

Now, you see, REASONABLE & LOGICAL nations would put these people in a mental health ward until they get well, but in the US however they elect them to office..
"The Republican US senator & DT loyalist Markwayne Mullin has evidently sought to backtrack from comments suggesting politicians could “handle our differences” with journalists by shooting and killing them, insisting he was trying to make a joke."

I'm locked out of my mom's Computershare account for an infuriating reason (another time). Comparing the price of her shares now from 2/5/25, when I tried to log in to sell shares for her (because I *knew*):
As of yesterday's close, they were down $12,494; as of today's close, down $22,900 -- they've lost almost 20% of their value in 2 days. (These shares are Dupont and spinoffs, from my dad's benefits.)
I mention this not for sympathy, but to put out a real-life example.

DT administration fires staff of program that helps low-income households pay for heating
"The DT administration has laid off the entire staff of a $4.1 billion program that helps millions of low-income households pay for heat during the winter, unnerving state officials who are now wondering whether they will still receive millions of dollars in expected federal payments."
Recession fears as a direct result of DT's trade wars wipes out more than $2 trillion in value from US stocks, many times over what DOGE has claimed to have 'saved'..

‘Nowhere on Earth is safe’: DT imposes tariffs on uninhabited islands near Antarctica
The US backing itself into a corner & throwing away allies with its trade wars and wrapping itself up in a warm blanket of paranoia..
"The U.S. government has banned American government personnel in China, as well as family members and contractors with security clearances, from any romantic or sexual relationships with Chinese citizens"

So, the idiot administration in the US has released their "reciprocal tariffs" that aren't actually reciprocal.
An economist figured out where they got their bogus percentages from; it would be amusing in its stupidity if it weren't so serious. No one involved understands what a trade surplus or trade deficit is, or what it means.
But they also announced rates on "countries" that aren't countries, just territories of another nation.
They announced rates on islands that have 0 human inhabitants, and 0 economic activity, and therefore cannot possibly have a trade surplus with the US.
They announced a tariff rate on an American military base.
It is a clown show.
The question is: where did they get this bogus data from?
Was their big chart of tariff rates generated by an #LLM?
Apparently DT has imposed 10% tariffs on the Heard and McDonald Islands and the volcanic territory between Madagascar and Antarctica.. where there are NO human populations.. 
The US is backing itself into a very small corner & throwing away allied nation after allied nation.. soon no allies at all.. making prices soar for americans & weakening itself more each day against both domestic and foreign actors, not long now until the fall..
Have cut ALL US products out of my life entirely over the last four weeks, everyone should. You cannot appease the unappeasable.
