Best Posts in Thread: Can the USA regain the lost trust

Pretty obvious that Trumpedo is heavily implicated in the Epstein Files. Even a lot of the MAGA cult know this is the case - furthermore pedo protectors are as bad as pedos themselves.

 

As often is the case, when in trouble, cause a diversion.

 

The Epstein files will still come to light.
Trump still has a lot of support. I really don't understand how willfully blind people can be.
As a Canadian all I can say is ELBOWS UP!!

 

Arguably, the USA under president Trump has lost a lot of trust from the rest of the planet in different areas.

1. The trust in the USA as a reliable ally has been shaken to the core, in the aftermath of
   a) wavering support for Ukraine in its defensive war with Russia,
   b) threats to the territory of allies like Denmark and Canada,
   c) the publication last December of the new US National Security Strategy
   which made clear that the USA has lost its interest in and commitment to strong alliances like NATO.
2. The trust in the USA as a reliable trading partner has gone out the window with the abolition of free trade and the start of very protectionist policies as evidenced by the unprecedented tariffs on US imports.
3. The trust in the political stability of the US democracy is diminished greatly because the separation of powers between the executive, legislative and judicial branches of government is no longer respected even at the highest level of government. The executive governs by decree, the majority of the legislative cowers for the president, and judges who dare to issue verdicts that go against government policy get insulted and called incompetent on a daily basis.
4. The US government clearly doesn't respect the independence of the FED anymore, so they wish to control the monetary policy rather than leave it to the central bankers. What that can easily lead to is showcased in Turkey (sky-high inflation, collapsing currency value)
5. Corruption is out of control, the president and his family are raking in billions.

All of this taken together looks pretty dramatic to me. Frankly most of these are things you'd expect to see in some banana republic after a coup, not in the most powerful country on the planet.

I'm thinking we should all hope the situation will not devolve into another civil war, and that the road to recovery will start with the result of the midterm elections in November.
It remains to be seen however whether the loss of trust can be undone quickly. As an old Dutch saying goes: trust comes on foot and leaves on horseback.
