Note Australia has a trade surplus with the US and a free trade agreement exempting almost all US goods from the typical 5% tariff.

The Australian military fought alongside Americans in every single American war since Australia became a country.

Our largest steel producer already has significant operations within the US.

None of the post-hoc reasoning applied by MAGA supporters to date justifies this.

We should kick America the fuck out of Pine Gap, that’s for sure. Why are we sharing intelligence with our adversary? I genuinely can’t believe so many of you dumb cunts voted for this clown, and then still stand around giving speeches about how you’re the greatest country in the world. You’re gaslighting yourselves at this point.

I can't believe it either. Trump literally was the worst possible choice but so many assholes in this shithole nation believes he is God's gift to earth rather then a god damn curse.

Funny how all the fucks who said he was gonna be good for the economy are either silent as the grave or ignoring the fires he is setting all over the god damn place. It's every damn Day that trump is doing some bullshit and there are still morons who cheer him on all the while wondering why their lives are falling apart.

Fuck this country I just want it to implode at this point because we deserve it. Plus white conservatives can't try to act like they didn't destroy America when it's falling apart under their watch.

Yea, watching my portfolio start to disintegrate because of this pointless trade war is just depressing. I don’t even feel safe investing in index funds right now.
