I still give that title to the concentration camp deportation ASMR or the deported lady Ghibli AI frame. This is just giving rapist which is somehow a tier or two below the most unhinged it has gotten thus far
It's also a lie as the EU announced retaliatary tariffs and now it's back to 10%. The retaliatary tariffs have been suspended however.
Is the the "bargaining" stage of grief? They realized China is about to show the world how powerless the US has become against them and so they beg through threats to all the other nations to make them look strong.
The US could do better to make themself look strong rather than making obvious threats. They could hide their threats to weak countries or disguise the threats as mutual partnerships. They could use soft power for rich countries. They could coerce one country at a time. Even a novice politician will know that an overt threat to all former global empires is a foolish act. Donald Trump likely has a different goal and interest for the alienation of the US.
What a pathetic timeline we live in
This has to be a satire account, right?
Sometimes I forget that a super-majority of twitter accounts are literally robots!!! Explains the absolute sludge people are responding with...
I thought about it and it's giving me vibes like a wikia mod gone mad with power, rather than a global capitalist empire. It comes across delusional, unhinged, and like you expect them to go on an all caps rant about lizard people at any moment. And considering the othering they've been doing already, I'm not sure the last part is far off from the reality anyway.
