All the Trumpy FP Stuff So Far…
Trying to keep up with all of this, just on the foreign policy side:
- Withdrawal from the World Health Organization (very bad!!!)
- Delaying the TikTok ban (shrug?)
- Withdrawal from Paris Accords (very bad!!!)
- Pause in foreign aid (bad, and probably very bad!!!)
- End of birthright citizenship (very bad!!!)
- Drug cartels are now terrorists (there’s actual some sound reasoning behind this but the practical implications could get pretty fucking bad)
- Trade policy re-evaluation (the effects will vary quite a bit but on balance probably not good)
- Dissidents punished! (we can all find dissidents here that we don’t like but the sin was criticizing Trump)
The man is busy! Here’s a nice rundown on the overall damage. Or here, if you’re into the podcast roundtable thing. Some theory on what happens next. Generally speaking, tho, it’s bad. Not good, even.
