He is fully willing to deliver on his threats. He did it his first term. The tariffs are coming. You don’t rile up hundreds of millions of people with hateful lies to back out of promising tarrifs will fix everything. If you think Trump is all talk in order to negotiate then you are sorely mistaken and you are one of the suckers he’s selling to.
Why are you talking about world collapse? You stated that Trump’s tarrifs are just a threat and negotiating tactic and there’s nothing to worry about. I replied that Trumps tarrifs aren’t a threat and the he’s used tarrifs before. Your response is that it’s okay because the world didn’t collapse in 4 years? You’re moving the goal posts. The tarrifs are going to be bad. Will it collapse the world? It may for some that aren’t expecting to pay higher prices for goods, especially people that just voted for Mr Tarrifs because they blamed the previous leader for high inflation. Inflation is something no POTUS can do anything about, but tarrifs are. So in the spirit of continued high prices, yes the world is collapsing.
I don’t know if you’ve noticed the panic Trump has caused with xenophobia the past 20+ years but none of those voters believe in the phrase “Keep calm and carry on”.
Just because you were not directly affected by Trump’s first term does not mean you can wave away other people’s concerns as not problems.
Addendum: Also who is Trump going to negotiate with? Republicans have the government locked and are willing to push these poorly thought out ideas and beliefs.
> I can't understand the level of aggressivity and panic (from some) over Trump's reelection.
The guy tried to overturn the results of the 2020 election by any means possible. Trump called up the Georgia Secretary of State and demanded that he just add 11,000 votes to Trump's total. It's on tape. Trump's team set up slates of fake electors from states that Trump lost. The Trump team drew up a detailed legal argument for how Mike Pence could reject the real electors and let the fake electors vote, throwing the election to Trump. When Pence refused to go along with that blatantly illegal scheme, Trump riled up a crowd and sicced them on the Capitol, in order to physically disrupt and prevent the certification of the presidential election.
Trump has shown that he fundamentally rejects the American political system, and is willing to trash the entire system of elected government if he loses. Many people rightly view that as a threat to the continuation of democracy in the US.
