Sometimes, Americans need reminding that they’re only 4% of the people. And the other 96% are starting to get pretty tired of them acting up.

No wonder people are looking for alternative brands to US products and switching off to events over there.

Yet the United States makes up 25% of the world economy. Think about that from this point of view if the United States quit spending money with any foreign country 25% of the world economy would crash. So yeah we only make up 4% of the population but we support 25% of the world

@dale74 25% economy and supporting the world be 25% is not the same thing.

Also, give it a month. Many more days like today and the number will be much lower.

@HeidiA such as the point that Canadian prime Minister last night came out and said they will reduce every single one of their tariffs to zero if the United States will take off their tariffs because it will crash their economy. So think about that they've been happy charging us extra all this time but the second we do a reciprocal tariff meaning we're going to charge them what they've been charging us they're now worried about their economy collapsing. Israel also removed all tariffs toward any us product yesterday. That's all Trump wanted is a playing field that was even if we don't charge you to sell your product in our country we don't expect you to charge us to sell our products in your country that's all he wanted but none of these people would agree to that until he threatened tariffs and they still didn't believe he would do it.

@dale74 Not all the countries on this posted today charge tariffs on American goods, so what’s the justification there?

Either way nobody is going to be moved by Trump. The rest of the world will learn to trade amongst themselves. He’s in no position to make demands.

@HeidiA we'll see

@dale74 Yes. We will. And if you think people power doesn’t work, look at Tesla and then pretend it’s happening to the US economy as a whole.

@HeidiA Tesla's not people power that's criminals causing destruction and if you support that you have no civility

@dale74 I don’t support the attacks but people choosing not to buy Teslas because of who the owner is, the brand slump and market value spiral - that’s what happens. When people refuse to be bullied.

More is coming.

@HeidiA and you don't see people panicking over here so whatever musk doesn't care one bit about Tesla or X or anything he cares about what liberals did to his child.

@dale74 Give it time. Cars that nobody will buy and rockets that explode one in three times….

@dale74 Why? Doesn’t it align with you ideology?

And the rest of the world makes up 75% of it. Guess which one can survive without the other.
