I wouldn't be surprised if Trump announced tariffs on EU members during his Congress speech tonight.

Trump's presidency is a chaotic and divisive saga.
The post sets a basic framework for discussion but lacks specific topics or questions to guide the conversation. It would benefit from more detail to enhance community engagement.
Trump presidency
COVID-19 response
impeachment
political divide
critical backlash
The thread begins with discussions on the controversial actions of President Trump, including his handling of COVID-19 and his social media behavior. Members express their disbelief and frustration at his comments regarding protests and health policies.12
As the thread progresses, discussions shift to Trump's impeachment and the political divide in the country. Users note that both supporters and opponents of Trump are intensified in their views on his actions, leading to heated exchanges among members.34
In later discussions, concerns about Trump's legal troubles and the impact on America’s reputation abroad arise. Many users express a sense of foreboding about the future, fearing the ramifications of his ongoing influence and decisions.56
"It does make you realise in case you ever forget that he may be a pretty big symptom but he is just a symptom of a bigger problem."
"Trump is a loon, endorsing mad conspiracies. He’s morally unfit for the presidency."
Verdict
The thread reflects a strong consensus on the dangers posed by Trump's presidency, with fears about its long-term effects on America. Many feel that the political landscape has become irreparably damaged.
Must admit, I expected a lot worse from his Congress speech. I don't care what he does in America as long as it doesn't have a ripple effect around the world.
This is just weird though. Trump on Greenland.
"One way or another, we're going to get it"
And all the stuff about Zelenskyy now being ready to come to the negotiating table is just bullshit, Ukraine has always been ready to come to the table but they need security guarantees (Any country would that has been invaded by their much more powerful neighbour) - is Trump/America too dumb to see that or don't they care? And Zelenskyy was correct, peace is still very far away.
And the MAGA movement is frightening, it makes David Koresh and Jim Jones look like amateurs!

While I totally disagree with his vision for Gaza/Palestine, I don't disagree with eliminating Hamas, they are a terrorist organisation. I don't think threatening them on your social media platform is the correct way to go about it though.

Trump takes his first lose from the Supreme Court since becoming President. By 5-4 SCOTUS leaves in place a lower court order demanding the administration to unfreeze $2 billion in aid for work already done:

Whilst it's good this was stopped, the fact that this only won by a single vote is pretty insane - 'government should pay government contractors for work that's already done' is something that no one in a remotely functioning society would ever legally challenge, let alone be a hair's breadth away from prevailing in!
Supreme court rejects Trump request to continue freezing $2bn in foreign aid
John Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett join liberal justices to leave in place lower-court order on USAid cuts

He is an utter disgrace. New lows every time he opens his mouth.
Mark Carney has been elected as the new leader of the Liberal Party in Canada. Can't wait to see how Trump interacts with him.
I watched Carney's speech last night. He seems tougher and more direct than Trudeau, along the lines of "If you want a trade war, we'll give you one and we'll win it". Gloves very much off here.
