Trump is either actually or pretending to be ignorant of the history of appeasement.

MAGA ignore the zero history of any achievement by the Buffoon in Chief.

You could make a board game where the aim is to go bankrupt and not pay your debts....call it Trump, the Game.

Seriously, apart from inheriting his wealth from slum land lord Dad, faking achievements at college , having allegations of association with the mob, allegedly having forced sex with a now ex wife, what has he done to "add value " to anything good.

Now, with his contempt for EU and other traditional US allies, everyone hates him, or at least, avoids him.

In Australia, he would be given the nickname "Nigel no mates "

1938 had Neville Chamberlin, 2025 has Donald Trump. The kindest thing that can be said about both men is that they had good intentions, although with Trump one has to wonder if his good intentions have been paid for by Putin.

Canada, Greenland and Panama would all be better off under US rule. As would the UK. Starmer is the worst PM we have ever had.

Basically, you described most politicians in NYC

Now, with his contempt for EU and other traditional US allies, everyone hates him, or at least, avoids him.

But they have to do business with him because they need him.

In Australia, he would be given the nickname "Nigel no mates "

Ok and?

with Trump one has to wonder if his good intentions have been paid for by Putin.

Stop listening to all the debunked liberal media propaganda

Just like the last time he was in office, he is WAY out of his league.

Why would all of those countries want a slice of the Trump Recession?
