Republicans who are dismayed by this train wreck we are witnessing need to contact their representatives in Congress to resist these insane policies before our economy collapses.

Republicans are living in denial, and Democrats are living in fear. Exactly who is gonna be stopping this guy? There's no one left. Doom gloom and despair were projected yet he still won. This is what the American people were looking for. Let's see what happens now that they got it.

Regardless of who you voted for, can we all agree that this is entirely out of hand? Also, it's uncivilized. The Supreme Court is responsible for this since ruling that he can't be held accountable. Shame on them. A shame they will never escape, not will their descendants for time immemorial.

He is destroying America‘s soft power and reputation in absolute record speed and weakening America as never before. The US will learn the hard way that -if everybody else hates you- life will get a whole lot more difficult; no matter how big the US military is.

The Orange Crook is wrecking America's standing in the world, ruining almost 250 years of effort. How many $$ billions has he already grifted since being elected? More like a mob boss than a president. Just awful.

I guess I don’t have to ask anyone around the world to help Canada anymore. We are all in this together it seems. Have fun not having trading partners. We are stronger united my friends (that includes blue Americans - we can focus on red states)

Trump inherited an economy that was performing better than any other in the world and seem intent upon destroying it! He is so foolish and ignorant, it is shocking that so many people voted for the dimwit.

This is not going to play out how Trump wants it to. The US is going to suffer. Canada will be in crosshairs, but not as much as US -- that's a bit confusing to me, so it will be interesting to see what spring and summer bring.

Six of his companies went bankrupt and he doesn’t even understand what a damn car is he will create world chaos based on the depression of the late 20s and 30s

US 🚗 are hardly practical for the EU – they’re too large and/or consume excessive ⛽️ (especially given 🇪🇺 vs. 🇺🇲 petrol prices). As for Nazi Musk’s electric cars, neither I nor anyone I know has any interest in them.

Two things. One, how long do you think it will take America to recover from four years of tearing down bridges and building walls. Two, people overseas don't buy American cars because America makes crap cars so not importing them isn't the problem.

Anyone who's ever been to Europe and tasted fresh produce there understands immediately why Europe doesn't buy US agricultural products. And cars... please.... Europe has plenty of good European choices and if they can't afford it, there are plenty of good cars from Asia.

His job is to completely isolate the United States from the global market and absolutely shatter our economy. And you know what gang? This country deserves it. I know if you’re reading this you didn’t vote for this clown. But a lot of people did or were okay with it happening. So we deserve it.

“If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored (or Mexican) man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you!” ― Lyndon B. Johnson

Our economic arsonist expands his inferno to Europe, apparently alienating Canada and Mexico wasn't enough destruction for one week. Nothing says Make America Great quite like systematically torching every trade relationship we've built since World War II at least we'll die protecting pickup trucks.

What do a lot of us do when we’re driving and theirs a bad traffic jam. A lot of us just get off the road and find another route. That’s what will happen with a lot of the tariffs. Sovereign countries will just find new routes and trading partners.

Bloomberg - a bit like throwing stones at shoppers that won't buy your shabby fruit ! ! Mr Trump needs to understand, American Exceptionalism is "dead in the water". America losing ground BECAUSE OF THE IDIOCY THAT IS TRUMP. Trump throwing a hissy will not change anything........

Because the narcissistic toddler thinks he's smarter than everyone else, and judging by the people who voted for him, he's at least smarter than half of the population.
