Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent trying to walk it all back after alienating our allies: "I wish to be clear: America first does not mean America alone. To the contrary, it is a call for deeper collaboration and mutual respect among trade partners." The art of the cave. 🤦‍♀️

Hmmm. Everything I have been hearing since Jan 20, 2025 states that the US does not need anyone, and they all need us. Other countries are all crooks and moochers. "We have the cards". Yeah, all bullshit.

I guess they are finally realizing that they can't win this trade war with a divided country, now he's warming back up to our allies. 😂😂

Oh now they realized that United States wasn’t just safe because of the oceans, but because of the shared resources from allies….

But now nobody wants to have anything to do with the USA. Trading partners need security and you can't provide that with the clown in the Oval Office.

Ehh.. right. The “adult” in the room all of a sudden? Bessent is an enabler in all the crazy. You’ll need plenty more than a sound bite on fox to convince any former allies and partners. Fresh out of fucks to give.

“Mutual respect among partners”….wonder if he’d like to explain to his boss the meaning of “respect”.

So now having allies matters? Fuck you. All I’ve heard for weeks is “USA! USA!” and “We don’t need you. Canada is a joke.” Canada should still keep strengthening ties with other nations. Being massive pricks has consequences.

I'm so confused. Does the man stand for anything other than obeying a moron?

Unfortunately - zero trust in this administration. Most countries have learned their lesson and will be changing how they do business with the U.S. And nobody wants to visit so tourism is going to tank. And good luck hosting FIFA and the Olympics.

At no point did anyone in Trump world mention “deeper collaboration and mutual respect.” The words, “China are corrupt, robbing us blind” were more accurate. Can’t wait to hear how Karen Leavitt spins this one today.

Respect is earned, not owed. And no one in the US administration deserves to be respected.

I hate the way they twist and bend, just like the russians! Why nobody stopped trump from acting like a threatening superior bully in the first place! Why they abandoned decency, normal respectfulness and diplomacy to begin with!

Damage has been done you clowns, you alienate and criticise your allies, side with russia and now you want to deeper collaboration and respect. Where is the respect that Trump, Vance, Hegseth, Witkoff etc has shown.

For 80 years the US government always pursued a politics of "America first" but considered the long term effects rather then immediate gains. Trump was the one who scrapped that and ignored any long term effects. For him "America first" was indeed "America now and only"

Didn’t take them long to cave. As soon as China called their bluff, it was oh we didn’t mean it the way it sounded.

So what the fk was all this? Will there be any accountability for this complete disaster? Betraying and threatening allies? Global trade wars? Wrecking export markets and equity markets? Destroying trust? No apologies or resignations? Nothing?
