    Lowest IQ president in U.S. history.

    Also a literal traitor to our nation, its Constitution, and democracy in general.

    Pretty sure this is how racists determine a suitable client race. Abuse them & see if they come back for more.

    South Korea needs to tell the USA to pound sand & open those factories elsewhere.

    To any foreign entities, companies, individuals who haven’t caught on to the obvious truth: You are not safe here, your investments are not secure here, any visas, treaties, contracts are all 100% revocable despite any perception that they are legally binding. Do not come here. Despite the fact that there are good and rational people fighting to change this, the hard fact is that we are flaming out, and there is no telling what destruction and chaos is coming.

    Just look at the destruction and chaos we perpetrated around the world when our society was at its height and our population had the most accommodating economic conditions in history.

    At this point, I wouldn’t blame any company that immediately ceased expansions in America and started to consider moving existing production facilities to adjacent countries, like Canada.

    He really has got porridge for brains. It amazes me he can manage simultaneous walking and talking.

    Why on earth would foreign companies want to invest in the US right now? He is the one that’s making it less likely, there was plenty of foreign investment in the US under previous administrations then this moron came along and ruined it all.

    When Foreign Companies who are building extremely complex products, machines, and various other ‘things,’ come into the United States with massive Investments, I want them to bring their people of expertise for a period of time to teach and train our people how to make these very unique and complex products, as they phase out of our Country, and back into their land," the president posted on Truth Social, adding “I don’t want to frighten off or disincentivize Investment into America by outside Countries or Companies. We welcome them, we welcome their employees, and we are willing to proudly say we will learn from them.”

    You know what’s missing there?

    An apology.

    Y’all acting like Trump personally ordered the raid and is suddenly backing up, TACO.

    Trump told ICE, “You’re weapons free, you got a quota.” And they went for it. Because of course they did.

    This is Trump screaming, “Not like THAT!” Which is somehow hilarious and horrifying at the same time.

        Mother was a narcissist, not on Trump’s level, but I’ve never known another person so eat up with NPD. Impossible to overstate that these people cannot understand personal responsibility for their actions. Their failures are always someones else’s failures. They cannot fail.

        I was well into my 40s before it occurred to me, mother never once admitted fault or said she was sorry. Sure, some people act like that, sometimes, but you can tell they have a sense of guilt, a sense of wrongdoing. Sure, we’ve all know people who misdirect blame. A true narcissist cannot feel those emotions, cannot be wrong.

        Telling a lie is a falsehood you know is false. Trump has never lied. He believes every word that has ever come out of his mouth. It tears my brain apart every time he’s accused of lying or bending the truth. Anyone having a hard time with the notion I just described is suffering cognitive dissonance. Have fun with that, he can’t feel it. You can because you’re sane.

        Trump isn’t playing games. He isn’t a tactical or strategic genius. He’s simply a wealthy narcissist who struck political gold. He got dumb luck, like some of us do, and ran with it.

        To be fair, lots of companies wanted to do business with the Nazis. Most businesses now don’t have an issue with Trump being a fascist, but that it’s unpredictable. That’s bad for business.

            The MAGA voters were NEVER their customers. The extremely wealthy are and always have been the customer. MAGA has just been that “useful idiot” to get him in the White House. If you remember that the point is to run out all the foreign owned businesses and buy up what they leave behind for cheap, it’ll start to make more sense.

    Trump backs off

    The damage is already done. He got to stuff hundreds of Korean workers in one of his torture prisons while extorting the company and the country for their release. He’s not backing off. He’s pulling his fist back for another swing. Fucking headline journalists are too “TACO” pilled to see the next blow coming.

      Trump didn’t personally order this raid. He told ICE they were weapons free, here’s your quota. Now that the predictable consequences are hitting, “Not like that!
