It aligns with everything they click on due to a fricking algorithm. they keep getting a continuous loop feedback from it every day of their lives!

And then they tell everyone how bad their blood pressure is

When has Trump ever been an isolationist?

Trump is not a shrewd negotiator. He’s actually losing his grip.
Early signs of dementia?

If true, consistent with messaging.

If true, not a story.

I don’t believe He ever has been, but when it was soothing for his supporters to pretend that he was, they did. Isolationism had been a pretty large component of the MAGA attitude until it was necessary to shift.

It’s the same with the pedo stuff. MAGA was really vocal about their anti-pedo stance until it began to look like Trump’s administration was going to protect pedos. Now it’s all “pay no attention to the child rapist behind the curtain”.

No real principles whatsoever.

I’m MAGA to the extent that it serves my interests. Kicking the Chinese/Russian influence out of the western hemisphere along with their leftist ideologues promoting the Chinese model from within is in my best interest.

You disagree, clearly.

I don’t know how anyone can accuse Trump of having dementia with a straight face after Biden’s term

So you don’t necessarily have a problem with Trump’s policies, just his supporters?

Addressing the OP as asked, assuming the message is real, I don't have a problem with American hegemony and I don't have a problem with the POTUS prioritizing what's in the best interest of the American people. That's what he's supposed to do IMO. That's his job.

I also believe that, in this case, maneuvering strategically and proactively for military reasons is a good thing not only for the US but for the rest of the world. The stronger US hegemony is, the less likely conflicts are to break out internationally.


Could you address how this will tank NATO and not actually do the things you’re implying above?

That poster was actually excited at the prospect of voting him in for a second term.

Nowhere near as concerned as I am about the millions (maybe billions) of tax dollars being sent to Somalia.

My disagreement with you is mostly about method. Destroying alliances that have been mutually beneficial, even if somewhat imbalanced, appears to me to be a bad method for checking Chinese/Russian expansion. Look at the trade situation. The whole tariff thing could be effective if applied specifically to China, but Trump went full moron, and tariffed our closest partners as well. China’s trade surplus has actually grown as a result.

Andrew Johnson was the 1st president to float the idea of buying Greenland in 1867.

It’s only “crazy” because its Trump.

What’s crazy isn’t offering to buy it, but throwing an aggressive tantrum when told it’s not for sale.

You want a continuation of decades long failed policy and to continue capitulating to NATO countries that view Americans as nothing more than tax slaves that exist to serve their interests. It’s bizarre.

It has been effective. Anyone arguing it hasn’t doesn’t understand the intended outcome.

Ok. What’s the intended outcome? I’m willing to change on this.
