What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

I mean yeah. In my parents' generation (including my older sisters) there was a sharp distinction between white-collar and blue-collar jobs, and only the latter counting as "real" jobs (though everyone wanted their kids to go into office jobs, so they "can have it better than the parents." )

To quote my Mom (RIP): "How are you tired and exhausted when you sit in a chair all day? "

Looking for a silver lining; at least Canada the UK and other countries in the free world will get their pick of well-heeled and talented foreign students.

(Unless the UK votes for Reform in 4 years time of course)

This is the heart of the problem. Sure the US looks on the brink of disaster...but everybody else isn't much better. And besides the US is still the heart of the world economy, as it goes down it will take everybody else with it.

There is no escape. The world is too globalized to run from the problems.

We would all be better off if the United States had not self destructed, but I think we (collectively) stand a good chance of not getting sucked under with it.

Just one example, I've been very surprised at how quickly grocery supply chains have adapted.  I now get my fruit and veg from Mexico and the Mediterranean countries.

And our local growers, who are just coming into season, are going to do the best business they've ever done.

dad was like that.

He never shown much respect for his brothers and sisters, or anybody who had white collar jobs, except for those that also shared the same interests as him and a side job or a serious hobby as manual worker.

A rare case where he points out who actually pays tariffs: American importing businesses.

Maybe the EU can gift him a mothballed A380, biggest aircraft in the world.

Just look at the way he misused the apostrophe in his truth social post There seem to be no limits to his depravity

'Hidden' Provision in Trump's Big Bill Could Disarm US Supreme Court

Sneaky Donnie.

.... I wouldn't object to massively disempowering the Supreme Court

I'd even ignore the foreign students at this point and actually just go for the academics given the pressure being exerted on Columbia, Harvard etc - I've mentioned before but I think this is a real opportunity or the UK. We have very, very good, well-resourced, English language, research universities that are politically well-insulated - and I'd hope Oxbridge, Imperial, LSE etc are out in the US trying to make that pitch.

Trump is handing China one victory after another: https://www.newsweek.com/harvard-hkust-china-college-international-students-offer-2076257

A Hong Kong college has promised "unconditional offers" for international students at Harvard after the Trump administration revoked the Ivy League's ability to enroll them.

Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) said it would help "ensure a smooth transition" for students who may be unable to enroll for the next school year.
