Since #WWII, the #USA had established itself as the anchor of the world #economy

This was based on #trust

#MAGA morons will never admit it, but in less than 100 days, #Trump destroyed it. He doesn't know what trust means

It's not coming back, for a long time, if it's coming back at all

The #USA will suffer greatly for it

But not MAGA morons

They are immune to shame

"Investors are growing concerned about a U.S. asset exodus as Treasuries and the #dollar decline"

cnbc.com/2025/04/12/investors-

CNBCInvestors are growing concerned about a U.S. asset exodus as Treasuries and the dollar declineThe combined decline of U.S. stocks, bonds and the dollar could be a sign of a broader shift away from investing in America.

Guess who is exploiting and taking advantage of my vulnerability and trust? My uncle. He can use any of my mistakes that he finds to justify bullying and mocking me. I don't even have money to pay for his liquid petroleum gas for cooking. I am really sad, and no one cares. I am still a student with so many debts that I can't pay. It's around RM50,000. What does he expect? Taking advantage of me? Using my inability to pay his bills and for LPG, and when I'm at my worst, it's time for him to kick me out of his house. I am actually homeless. But that terribly destroyed house doesn't count. My father wanted me to stay at my uncle's house for stable electricity. #FamilyIssues #Struggle #Support #Homeless #StudentLife #Debt #EmotionalAbuse #Bullying #Vulnerability #Trust #Hope #Vent #MentalHealth #IAmTheProduct #MutualAid #NoOneCares

Researchers concerned to find #AI models misrepresenting their “reasoning” processes

Remember when teachers demanded that you "show your work" in school? Some new types of AI models promise to do exactly that, but new researchsuggests that the "work" they show can sometimes be misleading or disconnected from the actual process used to reach the answer.

If trust is important for developing & maintaining complex economic relations, what happens when a key market player (the USA) is led by someone that its increasingly clear is not trustworthy?

Trump's malign influence on global economics may in the end be much more about the erosion of trust at the level of international diplomatic relations underpinning global markets, than about any specific actions or reversals!

America, how dafuq is anybody gonna trust you now?

How can you possibly expect foreign investors to invest in America?

How can you believe nations will forge any kind of partnership with America when they know the rug can be pulled out from beneath them without a moment's notice?

Excellent point:

Rep Suzan DelBene (D-WA) asked Jamieson Greer, the top US #trade negotiator, how any country can #trust the trade deals that #Trump is negotiating, given that he has “thrown out” previous agreements by imposing #tariffs, including the trade deal he signed with #Canada & #Mexico in his first term. Greer said that the #US was still “the consumer market of choice for everybody” [not for long] & the admin was having “several meetings” every day about new deals.

If the gives in to and requests to interfere into justified the result will be something I do not dare to think through today - and the last thing would be writing the explicit words (again).

... the current effects will be a faint compared to the complete loss of in the political system inside and outside of .
