Simple example: water. The USA has a shortage of fresh water and that's why Trump is arguing the border between the USA and Canada is artificial and he wants to nullify old treaties in order to be able to grab the water from the Great Lakes unilaterally. The point is not about if other countries achieve autonomy, it's about isolationism which requires autonomy to work and Trump wanting to make the USA isolated like in the good ol' times when they could ignore the world.
Economically isolated US is unsustainable which will lead to collapse of the civil society. That's why Trump wanted so hard to expand into Greenland and make Canada 51st State. Critical resources are missing in the USA to make it totally autonomous.
Unnecessary. He didn't ask to be judged. He is venting the fact he wasn't welcomed and I just got the same kind of experience yesterday. My account is brand new and I just wanted to help with some problem reported in a post and was attacked by an asshole I blocked after trying to get an explanation for the attack. It's not about Lemmy, it's about people on the social media. Assholes are everywhere trying to find an angle of attack.
I have already moved to another instance and I was pretty new on Lemmy as a whole. I think I created my account about a month ago.
It spells a lot like 'not fit for the Office's to me.
Even if he had put his assets into a trust, that trust would have to be managed by a neutral party who can't be influenced by Trump. So, putting his assets into a trust managed by the members of his family doesn't provide the level of isolation required by the function. He is fully into conflicts of interest.
The USA politics and democracy is a fucking joke.
