Note to Europe: when you stand up to Trump instead of immediately surrendering, he backs down.

Faktisestihan tämä tarkoittaa vallankaappausta.

"Checks and balances" tuhotaan. Päätösvalta rahankäytöstäkin viedään kongressilta.

Maamme ulkopoliittinen johto tekee varmasti sen, minkä katsoo selvitytymisemme kannalta välttämättömäksi.

Trumpilainen maailmanjärjestys on kuitenkin Suomen turvallisuudelle syvästi vahingollinen ja sen juhliminen tai edistäminen olisi meiltä puhdasta hulluutta.

Jari Ehrnroothin kolumni: Trump on nyt vauhdissa, ja Suomen pitää hypätä kyytiin
Suomen kannattaisi lopettaa vikinä säännöistä ja luistella kansainvälisen politiikan maalintekoalueelle leijonaksi Yhdysvaltojen rinnalle, Ehrnrooth esittää kolumnissaan.

Donald Trumpin diileissä on se huono puoli, että ne eivät pidä. Tämä näkyy niin liike-elämässä kuin politiikassakin.

Esim. USMCA-kauppasopimus oli Trumpin 1. kauden saavutus. Nyt Trump repi se palasiksi yksipuolisesti vailla hyvää syytä.

In a nutshell...

"Biden pardoned January 6 police officers,
Trump pardoned January 6 criminals."

After Biden pardoned Jan. 6 police officers, Trump pardoned Jan. 6 criminals
The new president agreed to let violent criminals back onto American streets, and then peddled discredited conspiracy theories and lies about the attack.

Biden preemptively pardoned J6 police officers who were beaten and injured, to protect them against retribution from the insurrection leader because they dared to testify truthfully before Congress.

Trump pardoned the thugs who beat them.

Just have to say that the $Trump meme coin is a gift to all of us who are not fans of his.

It’s just a matter of time until a lot of people lose money from this.

I’m a crypto fan. This is not crypto any more than Madoff was just buying and selling shares of stock
