By that logic Canada, Panama, and Denmark should ban X and Meta.



those countries are not our geopolitical adversaries, but if the people of those countries want them to be considered as such, it would be reasonable to pass a similar law


Trump has openly stated plans to annex them in part or whole against their will.

That sounds pretty geopolitical adversary to me.


Is Trump still going to force Mexico to build that wall he promised in his first term? Dude says all sorts of things, he probably doesn't mean or remember 80% of it.


> Dude says all sorts of things, he probably doesn't mean or remember 80% of it.

Rather you don't remember the agenda and just roll with the flow.

Trump and Boris Johnson are both total arse clowns, much smarter that they appear to be, and masters of throwing a dead cat on the table.

Trump is a _very_ good carny grifter, he can grab attention like few others can.

Remember that pledge to fix Ukraine within a few days of taking office? Probably not - he tangented off on seizing Greenland and the Panama Canal.

Meanwhile, that basket of deplorables is being sworn in.


Trump has also said that wind turbines harm whales.


I mean, we could be getting closer to that point. According to a recent survey, 26% of Canadians now consider the US to be a “threat” to Canada and 6% consider the US to be an “enemy”. Those numbers is up from 6% and 1% two years ago.

Not even that, every country on the planet is now greenlighted to force USA companies to sell themselves or banned. Every country on the planet can take control of Apple, Tesla, Intel, Qualcomn, Amazon, Nvidia, Microsoft, Google, Meta's entire company, all assets, branding, IPs, technology, code, patents, cash in accounts. Everything is up for grabs. Countries can use it to help their citizens by so much, they can end hunger, end poverty, end homelessness, enable free health care, free education, balance currency and trade, elevate tax revenues, end deficits. Protection of inventor's idea, work and assets is not important. Protection of private asset is not important. Supposed communist China only does 50% JVs, and allow foreign owners control of brands, technology, IPs, revenue and profits. The supposed capitalist USA is 100%.
