Oh it's a lot worse than that. Breaking decades-long international agreements unilaterally, and with insults and threats, means that any future trust and credibility has been destroyed. So even when the orange man is gone, it'll take many years to rebuild those relationships if ever.

- Waterluvian 1y agoLong term I think this may be good for the 95% of us non-Americans. It’s forcing us out of a cozy minima, building new supply chains and trading partners. All while everyone is eager to find someone else to buy and sell to, which makes it easier. Maybe it’ll be a net positive for the world as long as he doesn’t destroy the world in the process. In a way this represents a redistribution of wealth away from the rich, which is what I think a lot of people want (though maybe they’d wish it wasn’t away from them)
- dh2022 1y agoI do not get how this is a redistribution of wealth away from the rich (rich spend a very small percentage of their income, middle class and poor people spend almost all of their income on necessities and maybe a bit of fun, so at the end of the day rich will come ahead)
- EasyMark 1y agoThis does none of that. The rich will only get richer, that is the trajectory, until there is a civil war. In the meantime this is only going to hurt the middle class on down and they will finally come to realize their orange "benefactor" is actually a stooge for powers much smarter than him who want to see the USA and democracy utterly fail.
