President Donald Trump said Friday he may impose tariffs on countries “if they don’t go along with Greenland.”“We need Greenland for national security. So I may do that,” Trump said at the White House.The comments show Trump considering applying tariffs, one of his favorite tools for leveraging his executive power over foreign countries, to his increasingly aggressive efforts to acquire Greenland for the United States.
You were proud to be American before Trump?
I was. You can’t conflate what politicians do and what the government does as “this is what the country is all about”. There are plenty of reasons to be proud of your country. The reason I am no longer proud is just the sheer amount of stupidity in people these days. It really feels like we are going backwards.
But here’s the thing, America isn’t the only country going backwards.
No kidding. The US was never “great” and I say that as an American. This country has sucked for my entire life and it’s only now that a lot of Americans are finally waking up to that reality.
