From a European perspective, USA only had a right and far right party. Anything on the left side was killed long time ago.

Anybody tried a steam deck with dock? Gaming and casual desktop should be doable with that.

To be fair, tariffs can be implemented in a clean surgical way or start tiny and slowly ramp up so everybody can adjust and anticipate. Tariffs can be used like a feather to tickle the market. Trump is using the whole chicken coup and throwing them in other people's faces.

Yeah, it's always ideology first. No argument or evidence can convince them otherwise.

They'll keep saying it's still a good idea butt just barely executed for years. That's what happened with Brexit in the UK.

Companies are going to lay off loads of people and close any department that costs too much just to increase the stock price again. For investors stock price is everything and they don't care much about consequences.

USA stock market crashing means the dollar is getting less worth compared to other currencies, so anything imported gets more expensive in the USA, what is most items. Things getting more expensive means less people buying stuff, less economic activity so more layoffs.

All those layoffs means people can't pay back there debt. Trump doesn't care about people in debt and somehow makes it worse. Banks get in trouble. Trump cares about banks and big businesses so they get bailed out. Taxes on everybody else increases to pay for bailouts.

To distract from all this, Trump starts challenging China and it leads to war. Marshall law is called and Trump starts funneling more money to the military making things even worse.

It's why we have monuments everywhere, memorials and a few national holidays to reminds us.

"He was just being hyperbolic." they told themselves.

Nope, turns out he was "saying it like it is" about what he was going to do and the "I don't care about you" was the truth.
