Remember when Congress sanctioned Russia and Trump still has yet to actually enforce the sanctions?
So literally every connection to every organization the U.S. has built ties to in the last century are bad.
If my eyes could roll back any further they would literally snap off of the optic nerve, which would mean, I wouldn't have to read anymore horrifying stories about Trumpzilla's reign of orange terror.
So maybe not the worst thing.

Maybe Trump actually is an accelerationist like some of his dumbest voters.
Axios has obtained a leaked draft of a Trump administration bill, ordered by Trump himself https://www.axios.com/trump-trade-w...tes-d51278d2-0516-4def-a4d3-ed676f4e0f83.html
Link includes all 5 pages of the draft
Forget powerhouse, all those organizations have pretty much been created by the US and could considered the very fabric of Western liberal order. The idea that it's the US of all countries that wants to unravel it is just patently absurd - and yet that's exactly what this administration stands for.
At what point can Americans particularly minorites apply for refugee status lmao. I'm trying to get a head start
It's what Putin wants.
Bring the West down to Russia's level and enable the kind of mafia government they have.
So... with all three branches of government currently living in fear and obeisance to Trump, this is actually going to happen, isn't it? You guys are going back to a self-sufficient economy where everything is made in America and sold to Americans, while the rest of the world deals with each other. Except for real estate, which I suspect, for some bizarre reason, is going to be completely untouched and able to act freely with the rest of the global market, so that, say, 75% of New York properties are owned by Russians.
This has Putin's hands all over it.
Just like the NATO stuff, the trade wars with europe and all the chaos surrounding pulling out the troops.
No real american would do this. no one except for the guy being black mailed by Putin. how republicans dont see this is beyond me. this guy is so obviously compromised.

He doesn't need a back channel he talks to him on a personal unsecured phone it's well documented.
Is this some anti-(((globalism))) nonsense?
This is not just the US fucking itself over; the withdrawal of a major power could cause other nations to step back as well as trade walls go up all over the place and worldwide prosperity trends down.

Yeah but I don't think you can commit treason over the phone and get away with it.
More details, but again as the article admits, this is pure fantasy.
They know it, but they do not care because it's party over country, that's why they tried to stop Mueller's investigation.
Look at the bright side - Trump's presidency is the beginning of a world not built on US dependence.
Hopefully it means instead of the US dominating the world stage politically and economically, there will be more equality.
Trump's plan all along. That's how many d's of chess he plays.
No, congress needed. It's a fantasy pipe dream. All the GOP cares about is money and staying in power. This fucks both those up, as it would instantly tank the economy.
The US has been the beneficiary of rulings by the WTO far and away more than anyone else. So stupid
This is something they'd push back on, as the economy is the only thing keeping Trump's approval so high. He does this, it starts a 2nd great depression and he easily drops 10%, which is bad enough to cost them their jobs and Self preservation comes first for them.
Maybe congress is racist enough that money is not as important as putting colored people in their place now? If the military is willing to chuck aside decades of rivalry with Russia in the name of racism, then maybe the ones signing checks to politicians are too?
These are congressional republicans, not they voters they dogwhistle for. Their #1 priority legislation was a tax cut. They pull out of the international trade order and every corporation that bankrolls them will cut them off. McConnell wouldn't do it. He's evil, not stupid.
Exactly. He's been given his talking point and he'll dutifully parrot it.
How clear can Trump make it that he actually hates America?
Like seriously, he is single handedly trying to destroy the very institutions it helped build to ensure that its style of government and economic systems would be dominant on a global stage.

So how is Trump figuring out what is bad for the US? Who is telling him? Is it just as simple as "it's not just the US that's running the thing, so it's a bad thing"? Or is there someone specifically trying to get him to take those decisions?
He doesn't care what happens to the world, just as long as it benefits him personally.
No one?
Like literally all the corporations want globalisation, and free open trade borders. I doubt, even Trump's business's or Russia would profit from this.
I'd love to know who and how someone profits from this. Maybe Hedge Funds betting on this outcome, but thats about it.
