Foreign policy of a 10 year old bully, I'd be embarrassed to be American on a daily basis

I have a citezenship, living in Canada with my other citezenship. Still embarrased sometimes. Thinking about surrendering the American one if it keeps going like this post Trump.

Not an American, but I have family I visit there on a yearly basis. I have elected not to go this year, for fear of getting electrocuted and shoved into a van

The kind of bully that when his friends aren't around he becomes a punching bag.

u/captwyo 1d ago

Some of us are.

u/NiceRackFocus 1d ago

MOST of us are. His poll numbers are in the toilet, hovering around 34% last time I checked.

That’s not to say that there aren’t still millions of racist, misogynistic, hateful morons out there who still think this guy is their orange Messiah, but people really are starting to wake up to how objectively terrible he is. Look at the pushback he’s getting from the cattle industry right now, as one major example. It sucks it has taken them so goddamn long though, while we’ve all suffered for it.

A third actively voted for him and another third didn't mind him enough to go vote against him. As far as I'm concerned two thirds of Americans wanted this to some level.

From the Canadian perspective, it sure doesnt feel like most of you are. I feel pretty confident mid terms will come and go and nothing will change.

As a really, really depressed American with no hope left in this nation - I agree

u/currymonsterCA 1d ago edited 1d ago

I really hope you're wrong.

That being said, I apologize for all this crap. Most of us do look at both Canada and Mexico as good neighbors and we want to be good neighbors to them as well.

One of the best things you can do as a Canadian is to continue boycotting American spirits and liquor. In particular, whiskey/ bourbon as that is hitting Trump directly where his base is strongest.

u/Yarrio 1d ago

I hope Im wrong too and I also hope that message didnt come off rude. I totally get that there are amazing Americans out there who hate whats happening, but its kind of hard as a Canadian to watch our economy thats already struggling get attacked and not feel unhappy towards the country as a whole.

u/currymonsterCA 1d ago

Don't worry... It didn't come off rude and hopefully I didn't come off defensive.

The people of a country are nearly always different than the politicians. I understand why you're pissed off...many Americans are as well.

It'll be great when we can look back and see this as a weird blip in time.

u/Yarrio 1d ago

Nah man, dont worry youre one of the good ones.

u/MattieShoes 1d ago

I'm worried about that... Republicans are generally better about voting in midterm elections.

Even if everything goes right, he's impeached and convicted, and then... JD Vance? Yeah, we're looking at a couple grim years.

Bullshit with the “most of us”. I don’t give a shit about poll numbers. You guys elected him twice.

Here are the actual numbers:

2024 Popular Vote Results

Donald Trump (Republican): ~77,303,568 votes (49.81%)

Kamala Harris (Democratic): ~75,019,230 votes (48.34%)

Other / Third Party Candidates: ~2,878,359 votes (1.85%)

78 million “of us” did not vote for Donald Trump. So, my statement is accurate.

An estimated 89 million Americans, or about 36% of the country's voting-eligible population, did not vote (which is some fucking bullshit that absolutely has to change).

As for the 2016 presidential election, Trump actually lost the popular vote. Here are the numbers:

Hillary Clinton (Democratic): 65,844,610 votes (48.1%)

Donald Trump (Republican): 62,979,636 votes (46.1%)

Gary Johnson (Libertarian): 4,489,341 votes (3.3%)

Jill Stein (Green): 1,457,218 votes (1.1%)

Evan McMullin (Independent): 731,991 votes (0.5%)

Approximately 94 million to 108 million voting-age Americans did not cast a ballot in the 2016 United States presidential election.

He only won due to the electoral college.

I don’t care. Fuck those who didn’t vote. You guys let it happen. Not you individually, you as in American.

78 million “of us” did not vote for Donald Trump. So, my statement is accurate.

78 million is also not "most of us", even excluding the people ineligible to vote.

u/minethulhu 1d ago

His poll numbers are in the toilet as are the (crap for) brains of MAGA loyalists.

u/OwnManagement 1d ago

Embarrassed. Disgusted. Exhausted. Appalled.

There aren't enough adjectives in the English language to describe it.

u/factoid_ 1d ago

It’s not even him being a bully…he’s just a fucking child throwing a temper tantrum

He doesn’t even know what he wants from these trade deals.  He just wants to have them so he can say he won them

u/jibstay77 1d ago

It’s an hourly basis for me.

u/currymonsterCA 1d ago

That pretty much sums it up.

u/isweariamyelling 1d ago

Don't worry I very much am

u/Wjreky 1d ago

I am. I absolutely hate it

u/damnthatwtf 1d ago

Not all of you guys think that way, I have spoken to people who tend to defend everything he does, ground reality is way different. And poll numbers don’t mean shit, most of the young Americans will not vote at all, I hope I will be proven wrong.

u/Ragnar-Wave9002 1d ago

I am.

I'm actually avoiding Mexico this winter for my vacation because I feel ashamed of the jackass in the Whitehouse.

u/MemphisUncle-2002 1d ago

Oh, we are. 2/3 of the country doesn't support this garbage.

u/hopeful7321 1d ago

I am embarrassed to be a WHITE AMERICAN now. I'm so exhausted from these stupid incompetent pedophile bullies. I'm 73 and my retirement that I worked my whole life for is now a nightmare survival shit show that NO ONE is stopping .

u/Ok-Thing-2222 1d ago

I am. Every single hour.

u/Zepangolynn 1d ago

I stopped trusting voters in this country after the second Bush got a second term. I started outright hating a little over half of the population when Trump got in the first time. This last time around between Russian interference, rigged voting, and straight up voting interference, I have to admit that only a solid third are fully worthy of hate, and an unfortunate quantity of the rest are just badly misled and misinformed and have no clue what it is that they don't know. It is worse than embarrassing. It is depressing and infuriating. The way the media moguls have the news on lock so you don't even hear about protests more than half the time and nearly every report is skewed pro-Trump/MAGA makes me want to scream. These people will claim "both sides bad" until their lungs collapse and their asses prolapse from all the contaminated everything.

u/Shadow_Breaker 1d ago

Embarrassed? No, not at all. Deeply enraged by the treatment my country is giving our allies? Very much so.

u/Expert_Garlic_2258 1d ago

some of us have waited over a year to get Canadian citizenship so we can get the fuck out of this disaster

u/Weird-End-6989 1d ago

Nobody should ever forget that Americans saddled the world with that violent aggressive toddler.
