That’s what I thought. But, I don’t trust our media to share much anymore.

If you don’t trust “our media” why don’t you click on foreign media websites to get other perspectives? I recommend Al Jazeera, CBC, etc.

People are protesting both to support non-MAGA Americans and because of the impact that the changes being implemented by Trump and Musk —from tariffs to threats have and will have on their lives.there have also been more specific protests such as the ones in Greenland. It’s not hard to find.

They can protest all they like. There have been protests against the U.S. since its founding 249 years ago. It won't do much good because most foreign countries need the U.S. more than the U.S. needs them. Trump is doing what he believes is in the best long term interests of the U.S. Feel free to disagree, but having won the election, he is the President right now and is setting foreign policy. Better yet, come up with another way to solve the problem that doesn't involve tax increases.

Actually, everything that Trump is doing will make other countries stop “needing” the US — and, perhaps more importantly, stop trusting the US. The US is now cut off from intelligence information, and that’s just the start. How long will it take before US military bases in other countries will no longer be tolerated? Or before more countries develop nukes? Or before terrorism increases — as more people who benefitted from USAID support decide that they have nothing to lose?

If MAGA wants to return to the ‘50s - start with the tax rates.

Other countries will still need access to U.S. markets for their goods/services. As for not trusting, the U.S. has far greater intelligence gathering capabilities than most, if not all other nations. More importantly, it offers some of the most advanced weapons systems and platforms available. If the EU wishes to evict U.S. bases, it is likely that the U.S. will withdraw from NATO - leaving the EU to fend for itself. Other countries will develop nuclear weapons regardless of the U.S. positions on the world stage. Just look at what North Korea and what Iran is doing now. USAID would not stop any of this from happening.

USAID isn’t supposed to stop those things from happening. The Secretary of State/DOS and Secretary of Defense/DoD is.

Trump’s tariffs are a tax increase.

Europe and others have been complaining for decades about tax harmonization, and Trump is implementing it.

Vietnam is lowering its tariffs on America to avoid Trump's tariffs. This is in line with what Adam Smith wrote in The Wealth of Nations.

Which chapter covered changing trade policies to facilitate the President building golf courses and hotels for his personally owned business?
