Donald Trump mocked French President Emmanuel Macron while claiming he forced France and other countries to raise drug prices by threatening trade tariffs.
Decades… fuck that, an entire lifetime of work to foster a strong transatlantic relationship has been undone by white nationalist christo-fascists and their demantia riddled geriatric figurehead. Disgusting.
Never forget that Trump didn’t appear out of thin air, this is what Americans as a whole decided they wanted.
That’s an oversimplification of what has been an ongoing campaign to perform a slow coup and brainwash a significant part of the population. It is also untrue. Setting the propaganda aside (which has been progressing since the 1980s), the Republicans have been worming and cheating through local politics in order to create a situation where, even when they and their policies are deeply unpopular, and fail to garner popular support, they still win elections.
*what the rich Americans decided and made the herd follow.
Did all Russians as a whole decide what they want? All Chinese?
This is a gross oversimplification.
It is and it isn’t.
Not EVERY American wanted this, but the electoral system and voters did.
The point is as a nation that has to deal with the US, this is what the people have given us, and we should assume that they’ll continue voting this way.
He’s making shit up as usual (“big strong men with tears in their eyes”)…murica elected a pedophile…he will do and say pedophile things.
Just smile and nod…sign trade deals with Mexico, Canada, Mercosur and move on.
… despite Trump’s repeated claims, there has been no official announcement or decision in France confirming any increase in prescription drug prices.
I’m not French but fkn infuriated. Only Europeans can mock Europeans. If they treat president like that, ask yourself how they treat average Pierre. It’s disrespect to entire nation and Europe.
