Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Already most international trust is gone, it will be at least a decade before that comes back.
If everything stays on the current track the US will self impose as much of a full isolationist policy as it can within this "presidential" term, this is to fully focus on the internal situation and destroy any option of rebellion and dissent.
Police/National Guard will be strictly enforcing presidential decrees and oppressing the American people .
Their armored personnel carriers and gatling guns will come in handy now.
In a few years workers will be forced into (cheaply bought up) government/factory housing because their own properties will be too expensive to keep.
And with the upcoming low wages the need for 4 jobs just to be able to buy groceries will keep them locked in fear of losing any pay they have or the house they may rent.
By the time the things inside the US are fully locked in, the tax breaks have fully caught up, losses of foreign trade incomes and loss of military sales all stack up.
So the US is declared bankrupt by the outside world because the trust is gone a long time now and the US makes it clear there is no intention to pay its debts.
This will cause the US to look outward again, not to make allies but to conquer lands for products/goods that it still has a (growing) shortage of.
If there was no moment for a true WW3 before this, it will be the moment it starts:
The US will declare war on multiple countries and attack them in small scale skirmishes. Meanwhile China has massively invaded Taiwan, the US will not be able to stop it. Crazy Kim launches missiles at Japan and South Korea just to join the chaos, Iran openly attacks Israel with backing of multiple other Islamic states, they have not forgotten Gaza's destruction. And Russia profits by invading eastern Europe unimpeded. Armies of 80.000 Europeans are no match for a force of 1.300.000 Russian cannon fodder.
This all sounds like futuristic doomspeak, but it all could happen within 8 years. China has been preparing for a large conflict to happen around 2030, even moving its industry deep inland. Trump is well on his way to demolish in 2 years any international trust that the US will do the right thing or can be called upon for help. He will leave/dismantle NATO and be excluded from a new NATO variant that buys its weapons elsewhere. Putin has proclaimed he expects to fight whomever within 4 years.
It is 2025 now, and things are very clear that Trump's hunger for power will be the catalyst accelerating everyone to a very destructive WW3.
