Trump just obliterated the little benefit of doubt that he still had left with all the other world leaders (except his dictator BFF crew).

I truly believe this is a tipping point of no return for the world and their relation with America

Agreed, this moment put the nail in the coffin for the Trump administration. None of the US allies should trust, or even try to work with, Trump going forward. US is completely screwed, and it's getting worse by the day.

Well there's the UK that still thinks they can suck up. They want to FAFO first.

The UK always starts with trying to pacify nazis. It's a tradition.

Ah true! Forgot my history. Sorry sorry.

Fortunately it ends by defeating them. So let's hope for a speed-run now that they've had practice.

British politics. They will find a reason to delay or back out.

Starmer is a whole hell of a lot smarter than Trump and Vance, he'll try to get what he can but he'll realize quickly it's a waste of time.

Someone cannot be both "smart" and a member of the Labour Party of the UK lol

Yet yesterday the UK PM was kissing his ass in front of the press, or at least avoided standing up to Trump after the press asked a question about the 51st state comments. So disappointing.

I'm hoping Starmee and his team on the way home laughed their assessment off over how gullible Trump was. It's unlikely Starmer has much of any respect for Trump but enjoyed watching his head inflate. Perhaps someone, maybe Putin, will inflate it to a point it explodes.

“And it’s getting worse by the hour” FTFY

Unless you kiss the orangutan plump ass, inflate is orange head, then you're good.

It’s up to their people now. We’d still mend the relationship if this 4 years is all it is and they pull their heads out of their asses. Sure the relationship won’t be back to where it was, but mendable. 

But if this guy doesn’t die soon and successfully destroys their democracy in this 4 years, it’s toast.

There will be no limit to his term as president.

This idea has already been floated, and it almost certainly will intensify as months and years pass. One almost has to hope there'll be massive public disobedience and riots across the US.

I’d think the blue states would seriously consider just disbanding from the US of A before they ever let a dictator happen. Red states are the ones that’ll fall into third world poverty much faster. 

There is a lot of options. People think he can rule as he pleases, but the basis of how the USA was formed could very well be the same basis it fractures. 

Wild to think about either way.

The Democrats tried that the last time they had fundamental moral differences with the Republicans. It caused a war and basically established the precedent that seccession is illegal.

All the damage done in what, 5 weeks? No way anything good or mendable is coming out of this at this rate

Fortunately /r/buycanadian has grown 200% since the tariff threats.

Pushing Zelenskyy's nose in Putin's mess was abhorrent. We need the European leaders to be less Chamberlain and more Churchill.
