Outside of the business news circles a little noticed comment by Navdia's CEO was the implication that

[JohnSJ]

losing China is a huge mistake because China will fill the void, and we will be left out of that void.

I think from healthcare to scientific advancements, we will be left behind because of the draconian policies of this administration, and "American Exceptionalism" in all endeavors will be a myth as trump and his thugs propel us into a new dark ages.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

1. America First is America Alone which becomes America Behind. . . . . nt

[MacKasey]

4. Is a Nazi slogan from the 1940s

[Initech]

6. But hey, there's a golden age coming! Or something.

[bluesbassman]

16. Gold plated age.

Everything is fake with Felon47. Except of course the racism, bigotry, misogyny, greed, sloth, mental decline. Those are all genuine.

[biophile]

2. Totally the result of the anti-education and anti-science agenda!

It’s been very successful so far at purging, punishing and penalizing any academic or intellectual pursuits or achievements.

[Ponietz]

3. Libya, Sudan and El Salvador our only allies

Jesus wept.

[Initech]

5. Seriously, I want to know why the hell he hates China so much.

Aside from the obvious that they're ruled by a brutal tyrannical dictator, he seems to have his middle finger aimed at China, and I would presume this comes from the more hardcore insane conspiracy side of MAGA.

[Hekate]

9. Aside from the racism of the Yellow Peril propaganda? Racism, antisemitism-- all very useful to dictators & thugs

[live love laugh]

7. American exceptionalism is long dead.

[hunter]

8. The foundations of the U.S.A. have always been rotten with anti-intellectualism.

We've now reached the point where everything might collapse.

[liberalla]

10. That's the plan. Putin wants to destroy all areas where the US is seen as a leader or superior on the world stage.

[Magoo48]

11. As a nation, I don't believe we can blame anyone but ourselves.

The majority of us lost interest, we stopped paying attention, we became disconnected, we became apathetic.
Even now, it appears the majority of us have yet to decide whether we will allow ourselves to be inconvenienced enough to fight like hell for our freedoms.

[Irish_Dem]

12. This is common knowledge by anyone paying attention.

China will be the new 21st century superpower.

The US will take a back seat.

With Trump destroying the US, mission accomplished for China.

[hamsterjill]

13. Look, there's not much I'm an "expert" on in my old age, but I do know cats!

I've been in rescue for 40 years, and I can inequitably, undeniably GUARANTEE you that China and several other countries are miles and miles ahead of research and development in cat health and care.

Now, why does that matter to humans? Because a lot of the initial research into animal health is passed along and used for human health development.

We are being left out and left behind, and it is frightening.

[Joinfortmill]

14. Sadly, this may happen. Impeach this moron.

[Figarosmom]

15. Yeah i think so too

Brain drain is already happening. Look at rural America where the kids left and moved to the city for an idea of what's going to happen to the whole country.

[DENVERPOPS]

18. With all the Republican voter corruption in place,

the Republicans are at a point where they don't need their Trumphumper voters ever again. Their Republican voters are a huge block of Rural America, and he is already kicking them aside a little at a time, and he is accelerating countless things specifically aimed at screwing Rural America the worst:
Rural hospitals and Rural medical care is being obliterated big time right now by Trump and Republican Politcians and is accelerating........Same with Social Security, Disability, Food assistance, Utility assistance, etc etc etc

Much of Rural America only has their Republican U.S. Senators and U.S. House members for support, and they too will soon out grow their usefulness............... Have you ever seen a Legislative Branch in a Dictatorship or Tyranny????????????

Same for the U.S. Supreme Court/Justices.......Have you ever seen a Judicial Branch of government in a Dictatorship/Tyranny????

[spanone]

17. Well put!

[czarjak]

19. "The American Dream Is Dead."

Vlad told him to make sure.

20. What's "Navdia"?
