Rally-style series of boasts does not include much in the way of plans to address affordability crisis

Donald Trump on Wednesday used a nationally-televised address to deliver a campaign-style rant in which he blamed his predecessor for the economic woes Americans are feeling a year into his presidency while offering little in the way of proposals to address the higher prices caused in large part by the massive tariffs he has placed on almost all American imports.

Speaking from the Diplomatic Reception Room at the White House, Trump opened by claiming to have “inherited a mess” that he was now “fixing.”

What followed was a partisan rant indistinguishable from the signature rallies that have been the centerpiece of his political movement, in which he rattled off a list of grievances while blaming his predecessor for the state of the country nearly a full year after he took the oath of office.

    As an outsider, you have a different perspective and your comment absolutely has a place regarding US politics. You don’t have to live here to hear the dumb shit that he says and to know how fucking absurd and stupid it is. I would argue that an outside perspective, if taken with and is accurate to current context, carries more weight than 35+% of US opinions. Especially being geographically near by, which seems less and less relevant as this dumb mother fucker keeps talking and bombing Venezuelans, I think the state of US politics is significant in the state of your country.

    Best of luck Canada. Fight the fascism. Fuck this turd.

      Yeah, as an American, every other country has a right to speak their mind on our politics. The bullshit that the US constantly pulls affects every single person on the planet via knock on effects. The countries closest to us are being deeply affected by the insanity that US leadership is currently undertaking, and their opinions deserve to be heard.
