He obviously lives in a manufactured reality that only he truly understands.

Straight out of the authoritarian playbook...blame all of society's ills on others' mistreatment you and he's the only one who hears you and knows how to fix it. The uninformed and uneducated eat it up.

How you get the MAGA regime to fall is to get the rest of the world to work together for better trade deals among eachother. There is nothing you need from the US you can't get from someone else. You get a wide world boycott of the US market and you throw that nation into a great depression. That is how you get the American people to rise up and take this government down.

It was, you just could not see it because the orange ape had half of it behind the podium.

If it wasn’t it only means it’s temporary to help PP.

Everyone gets 10%. So does that mean 25% on everything plus 10% for us? Or just 25% or just 10%.

What in the f.

I switched to CBC and they believe it is 10% despite not being in the chart. Will have to wait for confirmation.

I haven't read any of the Project 2025 playbook, but for anyone familiar does it include a plan to fully isolate the USA? It seems that is what he is trying to do while screwing all his allies along the way.

If that's the case, does anyone realize how impossible and massively stupid that is? Do these people just all get into a room, come up with some hairbrained nationalist idea, and they all clap and bark in unison like trained seals?

I just can't grasp the sheer idiocracy taking place. It's surreal.

He verbally assaulted Canada, right after japan and toyota, specifically talking about dairy, then made a jump to egg prices.

I haven't been able to find a full picture of the board. But as Dissentowner said, the board was mostly covered by the podium. Based on what can be seen, I thought Canada may be second from the bottom.

No, no, P25 is a red herring. This comes right out of "Foundations of Geopolitics" by Aleksandr Dugin.
