Global abandonment of Trump as he passes 1 year in office

A study by the Keel Institute for the World Economy, reported by the Wall Street Journal, found that 96 cents of every dollar in Trump's tariffs are paid by American consumers and importers, with only 4% paid by foreign exporters. This contradicts Trump's promise that tariffs would reduce prices and make foreign countries pay. Instead, prices have continued to increase by about 3% in his first year, and manufacturing employment has declined. The tariffs act as a consumption tax, disproportionately affecting lower and middle-income families who spend a higher percentage of their income on goods.

New CNN SSRS polling shows 58% of Americans consider Trump's first year a failure, with his job approval at only 39%. Historically, presidents with approval ratings below 50% going into midterms see their party lose an average of 37 House seats, significantly more than the typical 25-seat loss. This low approval, combined with rising prices (despite Trump's promises of reduction) and an unpopular deportation campaign, suggests a 'blockbuster blue wave' in the upcoming November elections.

Trump sent an 'unhinged' letter to Norway's Prime Minister, Jonas, stating that because he didn't receive the Nobel Peace Prize, he no longer felt an obligation to 'think purely of peace' and would consider taking Greenland from Denmark. He argued Denmark couldn't protect it from Russia or China and questioned their ownership rights. This was followed by public threats of 200% tariffs on French wines and champagnes after French President Macron reportedly declined to join a 'Gaza Peace Board,' causing immediate stock market drops. Trump also publicly posted private messages from world leaders, including Macron and NATO Secretary General Mark Rut, demonstrating a disregard for diplomatic protocol.

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem falsely claimed that 70% of ICE detainees had committed violent crimes. Actual ICE data, according to trackreports.org, indicates that 74% of detainees as of November have no criminal convictions, and a significant portion of the remaining 26% have only minor offenses like traffic violations. This misinformation is used to justify aggressive, militarized ICE enforcement, which has led to American citizens being physically harmed, dragged, and zip-tied for simply protesting or filming. This unpredictable and violent response to speech creates a de facto suppression of First Amendment rights, as citizens are forced to risk bodily harm to exercise constitutional freedoms.

A viral video shows figures like Tristan Tate, Nick Fuentes, and Myron Gaines singing along to Kanye West's 'Heil Hitler' song. The host points out the profound irony: under Hitler's strict racial and social purity laws, most of these men—who are of mixed race, non-Nordic descent, or Muslim—would have been classified as 'subhuman,' sterilized, or killed. Their embrace of Nazism is framed as a 'TikTok brain version of history' where Hitler represents 'power, dominance, rebellion, and owning the libs,' rather than understanding the fascist regime's actual ideology of racial bookkeeping, obedience, and erasure of individual identity.
