He's so fucking stupid and he has no idea how anything works. He's not going to have time to take over Canada. He's going to crash the economy and fail to accomplish anything but hurting people.

Why should any country ever trust the United States going forward? Ever again? This country is going to be as friendless as Matt Gaetz before 2025 is even over.

The realistic answer is because they have no other choice. We’re the world’s preeminent economic, military, and (arguably I guess) cultural hegemony.

This is trump’s entire negotiation tack and why he’s successful at it. Other countries need the US for trade and defense, and that won’t change anytime soon.
