Racism is expensive.

Republicans have screwed this nation with their hate.

True, Black on Asian crime can end your career.

Of course, they did.

They're smart enough to not believe a word he says.

This falling apart is just one small leading edge of how the entire Trump economy will fall apart.

When Trump dies, there needs to be a competent autopsy and the results need to be made public.

I don't care if the man expires.

I do care if someone in his inner circle murdered him.

Because that's the current, yet ancient, state of play in the MAGA universe.

I care about all the fascists surrounding him now, the Project 2025 monsters, and what they'll do. I guess all the power has been ceded to the evil billionaires and it will be up to what they want to inflict on the world

The US is no longer a reliable ally. It was bad enough when we broke more treaties and promises in the past, the dump is taking it to a new level of incompetence, along with the people that put him in office. No wonder China will be the new world order.

China is agreement capable.

The US and Israel...not at All.

Who wants to do business with perfidious backstabbers?

It's just a matter of time until they screw you and smile like it never happened.

Korea's leading press agency publishes accounts from the Hyundai/LG employees and execs who were brutalized, put in chains and subjected to hours of racist taunts by Trump's secret police... much of which was comically ignorant (ICE agents called them "Rocket Men").

The decomposing------------------- sure knows how to treat America's allies.

Dummkopf Trumpf sent a groveling envoy to ROK to apologize for the calamitous ICE raid caused by a female MAGA hippo. Note the US schmuck is smiling for the camera, the ROK minister isn't: en.yna.co.kr
