As an American, I support this! 👍
The faster he fucks too much with the money, the sooner they get rid of him.
-
He's just a symptom. The people whose money he's screwing with are the disease
-
I don't know why they put tariffs on movies though.
Surely movies are the one thing Americans export more of than they import.
So they tariff them, we tariff theirs in response... American influence wanes around the globe.
I mean, I'm not complaining, half of Hollywood seems to be using shitty AI to write dogshit scripts. It just makes no fucking sense.

You fon't care for disney marvel movie numver 86 and star wars 23 and 20 year old remakes? How weird.

I watched that last Captain America one, and at one point my wife just went "Why are they in a car? Both of these men can fly!"
I knew it was going to be shit because Harrison Ford looked bored. Always a good barometer for any movie he's been in the last 20 years or so. He just can't hide it any more.

I took kids to Minecraft movie, one of literally just a few movie outings in the last decades as it's so expensive yet shitty, and during the ~30 minutes of previews, I think there was one preview of many that wasn't a sequel or remake, and all looked so cookie-cutter it was kind of disturbing.

Insert homer and pantsless ashamed Bart meme: "Greatest depression so far ☝️

You know what comes with a depression right? America is already setting the stage for its fascist phase. I wonder who the good guys will be as America turns heel.

that or the socialists

Just remember all the software (games and apps) and media that is produced in America
-
Just remember that Sony (PlayStation) or Nintendo is not American and neither is Ubisoft.
-
No matter how much I despise the US, I don't think I'd ever pick Nintendo or Ubisoft over American game companies. Those two alone are doing wonders to destroy everything we used to love about video games.
-
But they produce some of their games in the US.
-
-
Outside of Software, I can't think of anything I buy that's American.
I can think of American made versions of a bunch of the things I buy and the American made versions as always worse. Even American companies like 3M mostly manufacture in Europe since they can get good quality there unlike USA.
-
Sadly, a bunch of things people buy are American owned but sold under a more local brand name, especially food or snack items, but also many other things.
For example: A scary amount of Europeans don't know that Mondelēz International is an American company. It was started by Kraft, famous for their "processed cheese product". And they own brands like Cadbury, Milka, Toblerone, Marabou/Freia, etc.
Coca-Cola also own a lot of "local" flavoured drinks.

Yeah. The countries that can choose to not do trade with America and not suffer too much because of it.
That's basically Trumps politics, making people suffer. Imagine voting for someone just because you want others to have it worse than you do. Like there is nothing to gain and everyone loses.
It's not even stupidity, it just pure hatred and disdain for other people that fuels MAGA.
"Some of you might die, but that's the price I'm willing to pay for it". Literally Shrek-like cartoon villainy.

The US slowly turning into Russia. Already a propaganda driven oligarchy, and the bitterness will follow as those with a brain start to leave.
