Difference is that in the US, people are armed to the teeth and a peaceful protect will quickly turn deadly.

Republicans don't care when there's a Republican in the White House. Then it's just God's will.

I know that a Canadian lawmaker offered to take Washington, Oregon and California as new provinces in response to Trump: https://www.kiro7.com/news/local/canadian-lawmaker-offers-take-washington-oregon-california-new-provinces/LPFT7I4AYBGCLHBKVOB2TIFQOQ/

Just FYI. Mette Frederiksen is a woman. And a much more competent leader than Donald Trump.

US stocks are incredibly expensive right now based on their earnings. If Trump messes up just slightly on the economy, the market will take a huge hit. To prop up the market and thereby his own ego, he's going to try to force Powell to lower interest rates even if it's not supported by the numbers.

He may or may not be successful. Good luck.

Didn't say he was. Just saying if he did such crazy things that even the crazies drop out, he could be removed. That's extremely hard in the US. You're basically stuck with the moron for four years.

And that's the problem with the US election system. In basically any other developed democracy, there are ways to call a new special election. The four years are often the max between elections, not the minimum.

If a new leader proves unpopular, you toss them out and install a new one.

Assuming you can sell the Tesla, doesn't that just mean that there are just as many people looking to buy a Tesla?

This is true. And right now, at least for the next two years, they have every bit of conceivable power there is. The President, the Senate, the House, the Supreme Court. There are no checks and balances of Donald Trump.

Assuming that they can sell their cars, doesn't that mean that there is an equal amount of buyers considering buying a Tesla?

 

Republicans are suddenly warming to the US economy. Democrats have become gloomy. The economy itself hasn’t changed much in recent weeks, but something else has: There was a presidential election.
