Trump is tired of the US getting ripped off... everyone, and I mean EVERYONE uses the US for money...yet, most of ya'll would rather see your own country burn than support his "America first" motto..
Okay, change it how? Give people homes? Give them more money? Better education? Hold their hands and guide them in life? How exactly do you think we should change everything so that it benefits criminals?
A: Ashamed to be in this country, so when are you leaving somewhere else?
B: Don't live in this country and have spent too much time on Lemmy/Reddit where the USA is constantly attacked as the big bad wolf... until someone needs us, like Ukraine...
I couldn't care less what the name of that gulf is, however, Trump is right when he says that the US is the ONLY country that pumps money into that entire region. We protect it, monitor it, and it all comes out of American tax dollars. Mexico is just riding our coat tails. I can see why he'd want to change it. Also, the name "Gulf of America" technically includes Mexico..
It's a catch 22... literally. If they don't lock it up, half the shit would be gone within days. I've seen it. I work part time in merchandising, my CVS and Walgreens stores have people coming in ALL THE TIME, grabbing shit from the shelves and running out. It's fucking frustrating.
So, go back to how it was before? Is that what you're saying? There's either this way, or the way it was before. Ask the people of El Salvador what they prefer.
Because it's ONE SIDED around here, just like Reddit... if a Republican said this EXACT same thing, they'd be crucified.
