this saga is so long-running it makes having 'the last word' seem like a kindergarten romp... pre-school tantrums abound on WHO.

I’d say wholesale reductions in global economic growth is pretty disastrous.
 
 
Economic growth is not a divine right - it's a calculated expectation.

All Trump has done is changed a few parameters pertinent to the country who's voters put him into power.

Up to those outside the USA to deal with it...or not.

goose wrote: 08 Sep 2025, 07:51 The question was ‘how has Trump been a disaster for the world’. I gave an answer, you can challenge the answer but don’t talk about a completely different question.

if you wanna talk about his impact on the US it’s been done to death - jobs market, increasing inflation, increasing national debt, reduced growth etc etc.
ask the 40+ blue chip companies who have reduced their profit guidance because of tariffs.
In that case, Trump has NOT been a disaster for the world (or it's economy). Businesses are still trading, people are still working.

What has changed is predicted performance/growth/profits and they are not actual events, they're...predictions...guesses...hopes.

Expectations people had before Trump simply need to be realigned with the new relationships he's decided on for how his own country's economy  operates.

And that is Expectation Management, and someone's expectations are nothing to do with Trump.

He's primarily America's President elected to do his best for his people and his Country first and foremost. He isn't responsible for other Countries economy if it does have a knock-on effect.

If trump wants to rearrange the US economy and the conditions that rest of the world's nations need to meet in order to trade with them, that's entirely up to him and those who voted him in.

It's perfectly "fair" as nations don't have a right - divine or otherwise - to trade with/in other nations (or, indeed tell them what to do or how to behave).

Doing so is a business risk choice and a good business owner will already have contingency ("what-if?") plans prepared for such changes.

Can anyone highlight how Trump has been 'disastrous' for the world. What exactly has he made worse than what it already was?

For fuck's sake.
He's by far the best option. A bit like Trump was for the USA. Not a particularly nice bloke, but will make the difficult decisions this country needs that the other 2 parties refuse to make.

Trump is very hit and miss for US,but an absolute disaster for the world

You said it may be disastrous but that you’d prefer it
I pointed out it would almost certainly be disastrous with his Liz Truss style economics
Farage is typical of modern politics & life where the hard of thinking treat running the country as like voting for who should win Love Island 
Have said before the standard of politicians is abysmal
If Starmer, Badenoch or Farage joined your company would you see them as anything but a minor middle manager? Maybe trust them to be in charge of ordering paper clips 

 
I know you're desperate not to admit it, but this country has a huge problem with illegal immigration.

Who do you think is the best leader to try to fix that out of the 3 major parties that are likely to get voted in next general election?
