It can't get any worse for the US, right?

Trump days that he is ending trade talks with Canada!

He just can’t stand being insulted or embarrassed!

1. with repukes it can ALWAYS get worse

and usually DOES

[SSJVegeta]

2. As long as we keep our basic democracy, much of this reversible.

However we will not be able to bring back the possibly countless lives lost because of it.

3. It will get worse. What if he closes that border?

4. TACO

He threatens and bullies as things get closer to the deadline. If Canada gives in just a smidge or just flatters him, he will fold and call it a win.

5. Bessant was blind-sided. tRump needed something to distract from the under-achieving bombing of Iran

He fired off a series of posts, the Canada negotiations post included as well as celebrating the Supreme Court reduction of nationwide injunctions.

Bessent did not have an answer when asked about the post this afternoon. If he had been briefed he would have an answer. Instead he dodged, saying he was "in lunch".

6. Yes.

Recommended.

We would do well to remember Paul singing, "It's getting better all the time," followed by John's, "Can't get much worse." One need not play Sgt. Peppers backwards to accept that this message helps define the current economic-social-political environment.

Some things will begin to get better. Others will be among the increasing tide of worse, at least until Thanksgiving.

The felon's only goal now is to hold the reins of power that allow him to destroy. There is no element of good in him, or his administration. None.

7. Of course it's going to get worse.

It will get a LOT worse before it gets better.

Everyone here needs to read "The Fourth Turning is Here" by Neil How

The last fourth turning was the Great Depression and WWII. Right now we're essentially in 1939. The Depression is mostly over, but there's a war in Europe that will get really bad before it finally ends.

Right now we're seeing Trump try to reshape this country and government to be just like one of his failed businesses. He only appoints completely unqualified people to whatever jobs. Good people are resigning en masse. Scientists are taking jobs in other countries.

I am strongly encouraging My Son The Astronomer to apply for an astronomy job elsewhere. I hope he does.

8. With catastrophic climate change fast approaching, it's going to get a lot worse

[Towlie]

9. The more things change, the more they'll NEVER be the same.

10. These are the salad days

Last presidency we ended up locked in our houses, printing money left and eight, and being told to eat horse dewormer, inject bleach, or shove a light bulb up your ass.

The chance of shit rolling down hill is 100 percent from here.
