US Tariffs

April 4, 2025•119 words

🇺🇸 We expect the US Senate to take control of this situation, and to stand up to President Trump's sloppy and reckless trade policies before he destroys the US economy and all of our relationships with our allies. We already proposed new legislation that would require all new tariffs to be approved by the US Senate. We expect that legislation to become law sooner rather than later. We expect the Trump administration to negotiate trade agreements with our allies rather than engaging in trade war...

Sloppy and Reckless

April 4, 2025•61 words

🇺🇸 Every single thing the Trump administration does or says is sloppy and reckless, but that's not the way to run a country. Sloppiness and recklessness are the guiding ethos of this administration, and Americans are extremely annoyed by it. We are disgusted with President Trump's foreign policies, trade policies and rhetoric. We expect the US Congress to shut him down. ...

US-Europe Relations

April 4, 2025•247 words

🇺🇸🇪🇺 The Prime Minister of Denmark, Mette Frederiksen is wrong, the USA can annex another country if provoked. We do have the power to do that. We have a lot of power. However, the USA has absolutely no reason to annex Greenland, or to become hostile with a friendly ally like Denmark. Americans love the Danes and we love the Greenlanders. We do not wish them any harm, nor do we wish to impose our will on any of them. The US Congress would never allow President Trump to annex Greenland. Most A...

Project 2029

March 28, 2025•469 words

🇺🇸 We will create the US Wealth Fund if the current administration does not create it. We will shut down Elon Musk. We will confiscate all of Musk's assets, sanction him, and replace the billions in misplaced funds that were given to Musk's companies and return them to the American people. Twitter will become a public, state-owned company, Space X and Star Link will become a part of NASA and the Space Force, and all of Musk's shares in Tesla and his other companies will be transferred to the U...

The US Tariffs Act

March 28, 2025•34 words

The Anti-Russian and Chinese Corruption Act

March 28, 2025•123 words

🇺🇸 American Liberals propose new legislation that will make it illegal for US government officials to accept gifts of any kind from Russia or China. We will also make it illegal for American businesses and businessmen to take loans from Russia or China. Any businessman that has previously taken a loan from Russia or China is banned from working in the US government. Any current members of the US government that have previously had loans from Russia or China must immediately resign. Furthermore, ...

The Greenland Act

March 28, 2025•152 words

🇺🇸 American Liberals propose new legislation that declares that Greenland has the right to self-determination. Taking Greenland by force would become a criminal act, and the president, as well as his cabinet, will be held accountable for the crime if they violate the law. The USA does not seize territory from allies. The USA is not Russia, and we will not allow the current administration to turn us into an aggressive state like Russia. Americans are not imperialists like the Russians. We're not ...

The Winter Garden

March 25, 2025•93 words

🇺🇸 I am the kind of client that walks into an architecture studio with a scale model of exactly what I want the architects to build for me. The model of my winter garden is my latest artwork. It's a terrarium, essentially, a lush garden with water features, birds, and butterflies. It will be on display in the entry hall of my New York City townhouse where guests can sit down and marvel at the details if they wish before I take them upstairs to the rooftop to walk through the real gardens. ...

American Art Collection

March 25, 2025•55 words

🇺🇸 I found a brilliant Andrew Wyeth for sale at the auctions, and I discovered an African-American folk artist I never heard of before, Mose T. These artworks will be added to my American Art Collection at the Country Estate. It's so much fun to acquire an art collection for someone other than yourself. xo ...

US Presidents

US-France Relations

🇺🇸🇫🇷 Thank you President Emmanuel Macron for everything you have done for Ukraine. We hope we will not have to return the Statute of Liberty to France, which we love dearly. Thank you to all of the French people for being our allies over the years and giving us the lovely gift that has become a symbol and icon of the United States and everything we stand for. xo ...

US-Denmark Relations

March 20, 2025•132 words

🇺🇸🇩🇰 American Liberals agree wholeheartedly with the Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen about mass migration. In the past, we wanted to open our border and be generous and kind to migrants. It seemed like the right thing to do, but in fact it has proven to be very naïve. Rather than generate good will as we expected, bad actors simply took advantage our kindness and generosity. Vulnerable groups within our homelands have suffered the consequences. We have to protect our citizens first and foremost...

US-Germany Relations

March 20, 2025•41 words

US-UK Relations

March 20, 2025•71 words

🇺🇸🇬🇧 Thank you Prime Minister Keir Starmer for everything you have done to improve US-Ukraine relations, to help the Ukrainians negotiate fair deals, and to provide the Ukrainians with security guarantees. We sincerely appreciate everything you are doing for the Ukrainians. The next US administration will definitely support and participate in a peacekeeping force. I am truly disappointed in the current US administration for not doing so. xo Response to: https://www.politico.eu/article/keir-sta...

US-Ukraine Relations

March 20, 2025•136 words

🇺🇸🇺🇦 The USA loves Ukraine. Ukraine must do everything they can to maintain friendly relations with the current administration and cooperate with them. I recommend selecting a European leader to invite to any negotiations with the current US administration. Ukraine has the right to invite others to the table if they wish even if the USA does not. I would recommend the UK or France, but the choice is clearly Ukraine's. The next administration will revoke, nullify, and/or renegotiate any unfair ...

US-Russia Relations

March 20, 2025•64 words

🇺🇸🏴 We will not normalize relations with Russia until they hold legitimate elections, and stop murdering their political opponents. We are tired of these disgusting Russian mafia scum believing they can do whatever they want. Any member of the US government, including the POTUS, that colludes with Russia, an enemy of the United States, will go to prison in 2029. You are forewarned. xo ...

US-Israel Relations

March 20, 2025•256 words

🇺🇸🇮🇱 The USA loves Israel and the Israeli people. Americans oppose terrorists and terrorism. We don't sympathize with terrorists at all. Hamas is a terrorist group that was elected by the Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip, meaning Hamas has the support of the Palestinian people, and the Palestinian people condone Hamas' terrorist activities. That was clear when we witnessed Palestinians cheering on the Hamas terrorists after the October 7 attack in Israel. That was when we stopped sympathizi...

Academics are Not Above the Law

March 20, 2025•309 words

🇺🇸 Peaceful protests are legal, and visiting academics have the right to participate and even organize peaceful protests. The Palestinian student at Columbia University, however, broke numerous laws while organizing the demonstrations that were held on the Columbia University campus. Any protest that makes college students feel unsafe and threatened is not a peaceful protest. This student crossed the line by organizing the intimidation and harassment of Jewish students on the campus, and that is...

US-Russia Relations

March 4, 2025•192 words

🇺🇸🏴 The only enemies of peace are the nations who start wars and the countries that align with them. It’s time to get real. Most Americans do not give a fuck about dead Russians. In fact, thousands of Americans have volunteered to fight for Ukraine and kill Russians. And the Russians deserve it. Russia started the war in Ukraine and lots of Russians are dying because of it. It’s called justice. As the Prime Minister of Poland, Donald Tusk, pointed out, there are only 150 million Russians, ac...

US-Ukraine Relations

March 2, 2025•483 words

🇺🇸🇺🇦 The USA loves Ukraine. We were so happy that President Zelenskyy was visiting the USA to meet with President Trump. We were so happy that the USA snd Ukraine had reached a deal on critical minerals. However, we are disappointed with President Trump and VP Vance's insulting behavior. We are very sorry for the way the meeting turned out. It's disappointing and disgraceful for a US president or vice president to berate a courageous world leader who is trying to defend his country from brutal ...

Reciprocal Trade and Tariffs

February 20, 2025•399 words

🇺🇸 American Liberals support reciprocal trade and a reciprocal tariff system. Most Americans agree with President Trump that if a country charges tariffs on US goods then the USA should impose equivalent tariffs on that country, regardless of whether the country is an ally or an adversary. That is fair. We also have strategic industries that must be protected at all costs, and the steel industry is definitely one of those industries. We can not make weapons or many other goods necessary for our...

Countering Russian Disinformation Act

February 20, 2025•125 words

🇺🇸 We wish for the US Congress to condemn Russia for the war they started in Ukraine. We propose new legislation that clearly states who is the aggressor and who is the victim in the Russia-Ukraine war. We wish for the legislation to condemn any alternative versions of this reality that a very small minority in Washington may believe. We wish for the legislation to declare that Vladimir Putin is a dictator who assassinates his opponents and does not hold legitimate elections, while Volodymyr Zel...

The Anti-Nazi Act

February 20, 2025•100 words

🇺🇸 Liberals propose new legislation that condemns Nazism and the use of the Nazi salute by Americans at political rallies anywhere in the world. Furthermore, we propose that any naturalized citizen of the USA that uses the Nazi salute be stripped of their US citizenship. Any naturalized citizen that would do such a thing clearly has no respect for US history and US values, and therefore they had no right to pass the naturalization process in the first place. The USA defeated the Nazis once and w...

US State Department
