#USpolitics #TrumpsMainProblem

To be fair; Trump has loads of problems, is loaded with problems and IS a problem.
That said...
choosing the tarriff 'solution' he is forcing on the world, including penguins, as being THE main problem is perhaps presumptious. Let just say it's one of many.
The mans way to finding problems is creating them.

So why disrupt the, relatively stable, world economy. He claims that others are taking advantage of the 'goodwill' of the US. And well, in no time, there's that word [again] "the other". but lets get into that at the end.

Trump claims that the EU is taking advantage of the US by buying less American and selling to much European. Now how come?
Americans base their happiness on their success and their possesions: consumerism. So they want to buy stuff and want to buy it cheap. As a reaction their manufacturing had to be cheaper, so manufacturers went where production costs were cheaper. Free capitalism, right. Americans got used to ridiculously cheap products from low wage countries. At their finger tips one day delivery. Don't ask me how [please not now, I already have an headache] but capitalism provided.
Europeans base their happiness on their well-being while in the same capitalist environment. We don't like american products because of their low quality and price. We don't like your cars because they're too big, ugly, messy and expensive to drive. We don't like your food 'cause it's poisened. We don't like a lot of your goods 'cause of your production style: highly exploitive and ever a bad bargain.
So Trumps problem, as I understand it, is that 'the other' is doing it wrong. 'The other' is taking advantage, as long as he can blame 'the other'.
American would be wise to take a good healthy look at themselves. First the political [republican spine] problem: get rid of Trump and MAGA. This has been going on far too long and far too far. But then you're not done: take a good look at your own individual behaviour: do you 'work to life' or the other way round.
Where does your personal productivity come from ? Is it from punching your card or is it from actaly achieving something, preferably as a team. Preferably with universal healthcare, paid sick leave, paid holidays and unions. [or are you'all that perverted that when you have the chance you'all get sick, all of a sudden ?]

So, what is Trumps main problem ? It is alsways blaming someone else for his own fabricated problem. But if that's the way you like it, soit [French for alà] BUT DON'T BOTHER US/ME WITH IT.
If you want to destroy your country, I can't do a thing to stop you.
You'll have to do thát yourself.

"Jul 13, 2025
The Hidden Reason Europeans Don’t Buy Many American Vehicles
In this video, we dive into the complex reasons behind why American cars struggle to gain popularity in Europe. From high tariffs and import taxes to differing consumer preferences and taste, the challenges run deeper than just price tags. Discover how trade policies and cultural factors shape European car buyers’ choices and why US vehicles face an uphill battle in the European market.
If you’ve ever wondered why European streets are dominated by local and Asian brands rather than American ones, this video breaks down the economic and cultural forces at play."

This is not about gloating of of peoples misery...
It's more about blaming yourself instead of 'the other'. About taking responsibility on your own faulty political standpoints. About self-accountability. Or will you find some other reason to not blame yourself?

So, you voted out of your pocketbook [sorry 'groceries', new word, just getting used to it]
And how did that work out for you, huh.
That was not only very stupid and short sighted,
but it also made you vulnerable for the easiest scam ever.
So with the other 49% of Americans you're in the finding out phase.
So next time take a good look at the policies BEFORE you vote. If there is even a democracy, justice system or healthcare left. You may be lying, left for dead, in a ditch [It can happen to all of us]

Want to be reminded just how bad collossal bills can be. One small oversite can have devastating results.
But even big and shameless effects on purpose WILL have devastating consequences.
Small, rural, hospitals closing [because they don't make money] will have a 'trckle-down' effect of very rough healthcare, overflow to remaining hospitals and huge bills. Which in the US are paid by YOU.
It's so bad that now even republican senators are noticing.

"Republican Scheme BLOWS UP As Catastrophic Mass Hospital Shutdown Exposed" [6:41]

Jun 20, 2025 The Damage Report
House Republicans scheme to pretend their bill will not devastate millions of people, especially in rural areas and likely Trump voters, gets blown up by Democrats and GOP Senator Josh Hawley as they warn the public of coming healthcare crisis and widespread hospital closures across the nation, which would create catastrophic ripple effects. John Iadarola and Brett Erlich break it down on The Damage Report. Leave a comment with your thoughts below!

"Republicans Threaten a Hospital Apocalypse"
by David Dayen for The American Prospect

-> prospect.org/health/2025-06-13-hospitals-senate-republicans-senate/ <-

"As we at the Prospect have reported, while the Senate’s version of the Republican budget reconciliation bill was widely expected to be more moderate than the House one, when it comes to health care it is more extreme. This came as a surprise to many Republicans, some of whom now want changes. And they all are highlighting the same area of concern. It would be “potentially really bad for rural hospitals,” Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) told The Wall Street Journal. It’s “going to hurt our rural hospitals and hurt them in a big way,” said Sen. Jim Justice (R-WV). Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) expressed “concerns about the effect on rural hospitals in her state.”
This is all certainly true. Senate cuts to the provider tax, a way for states to get more federal funding for their Medicaid programs, along with the House cuts that have been analyzed as leading to at least 11 million fewer people on the Medicaid rolls, will deeply harm the 700-plus rural hospitals already at risk of closure.
But that’s too narrow a frame. The entire health care provider network would come under heavy strain, and possibly collapse."

In the US they waste GOOD FOOD and somehow blame Trump, the 'Mexicans' and the Canadians.
Not only is this a crime against all poor people,
it is also a crime against the #ClimateEmergency.
In the end profit and capitalism are to blame.
