    What's happening at home? From a foreigner's (Canadian) perspective, Trump's not doing anything crazy but the media is going crazy... Our Prime Minister has multiple scandals worse than anything Trump has done so far... From groping a reporter to multiple instances of blackface to firing the attorney general because she investigated a company who gave bribes to Moammar Gaddafi to nearly a billion dollars going to a 2 person software consulting firm to fake charities giving him and his family members millions of dollars and much more. Yet somehow we're held up as an example of democracy and the US, which defends democracy all over the world somehow isn't...

      Not sure what you mean; the things you list that your PM has done seems like just another day at the office for Trump. Trump has already done quite a few crazy things since his inauguration. And I'm judging that by what I'm hearing from people who are directly affected by his actions, not by what I'm hearing from the media.

      it's not crazy to suspend all federal grants, get us out of the Paris accord when the world is rapidly heating up, try to put RFK Jr, a vaccine denier, in charge of our health, rename the goddamn Gulf of Mexico, unconstitutionally order that people born on American soil are not necessarily Americans anymore, which has been the case for at least 150 years, withdraw from the WHO, launch hourly raids to deport people, many of whom are actually American citizens?

        Be a bit careful of "whataboutism". It is a cognitive fallacy Canada's civil society collapsing does not mean that the USA's civil society is not. Perhaps they both are? I think that the social fabric in both countries can take the punishment for a decade or two. It will be some time before they collapse.

        Could you please stop posting unsubstantive comments and flamebait? You've unfortunately been doing it repeatedly. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for. If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.

      Trump is doing things that violate some of the guardrails of the US system. For example, refusing to disburse funds allocated by the legislature. These separations are less of a barrier in parliments. At least in the westminster system. These boundaries have been redrawn before: the federal bureaucracy was basically invented between the 30s and the 60s and SCOTUS's role as we know it was established in the early 1800s.

Brazil's technological environment is stagnant and apathetic. And it has been that way since the tragic explosion that claimed the country's space program. It seems that all of the country's technological activities have suffered the blow. It is possible that now it will finally be able to manufacture its national tier 3 AI, using the outputs of DeepSeek.
