The U.S. is currently being run by a child who throws tantrums at people who disagree with him and, like a child, does not acknowledge his mistakes.
Man git blame is humbling some times.
I’m tired of the highly-publicized threat to add tariffs and surcharges, followed by the quiet and ignored backtracking of the same. I’d like for leaders to stick to their word so I know what to expect day-to-day.
This constant pissing on each other’s legs as a show of dominance is fucking exhausting. I’d like off of this stupid merry-go-round.

  I kinda feel like you are creating a false equivalence (perhaps unintentional) between what Trump is doing and what Canada/Mexico/etc are doing with this line.
  
  That’s a fair critique. I definitely don’t feel like Canada and Mexico are doing anything wrong and the fault is entirely with the Trump administration.
  I’m just tired, mate.
- This is meant to up-end the Canadian economy. He feels the US economy can outlast this but Canada's can't. It's war but he won't declare it cause he is a coward.
  
  I understand that Canada doesn’t want to cause harm to anyone and also wants to protect itself, and that’s why leaders are backtracking, but it’d be nice if they did what they said they’d do.
  
  It's meant to undermine both economies. Russia believes a weaker US is better for them. And US policy currently aligns with Moscow. Moscow more than New York, LA, or Chicago.
Trump got cucked by Trump.
Impressive.
Is this the one where he signed on the wrong spot and everyone around him was trying not to laugh?
- I think so.
