A long-term effect of Trump is obviously to strengthen China, while weakening the international commitment to democracy. Even pro-democratic countries will align with a stable authoritarian regime rather than one that is threatening to attack them.
The Canada-China relationship has been distant and uncertain for nearly a decade.
We’re changing that, with a new strategic partnership that benefits the people of both our nations.

Also, when you defy Trump, you’re kind of implicitly making fools of the elite law firms and universities and media companies and billionaires and Congress, which is fun.

I think there's a legitimate social identity of despair in social media where you basically need to constantly perform (already existing but in a lesser form) despair in order to reaffirm yourself as part of the group
half the userbase of this website is addicted to the dopamine hit that comes with "all is loss" bad news. they want to spiral out and resent you when you tell them something tethered to reality.

Over the past three days he has gone from "I am going to have my armies take Greenland and there's nothing anybody can do about it and if you say no you'll be sorry!" to "I'm gonna tariff you until you let me buy Greenland!"
That is a backoff. That is a *massive* backoff.
