    France is an interesting choice as the first ones to threaten. They might be the country most willing to tell America to fuck off and spend an evening lighting Teslas on fire.

    DEI initiatives don’t really exist there like they do in the United States. Their constitution already bans employers from making distinctions based on race, gender, religion, etc. The closest thing France has that I know of is a requirement for corporate boards to be 40% women. They aren’t going to change that law because Trump threw a hissy fit.

    Plus, DEI doesn’t even really mean anything specific in the United States anymore. It’s just a dog whistle (like “woke”) Republicans use to signal that they’re racist and sexist and stir up racial animus. They use it when it doesn’t even make sense. Trump blamed “DEI hires” when an ARMY helicopter crashed into a passenger jet even though all the pilots and the air traffic controllers were white men. He blamed the LA wildfires on DEI.

    That’s a good way to have foreign companies that are currently invested in the US to pull all of their investments and fire everyone working for them over here.

    Everything he does is just making us more isolated from the world.

      That is why tariffs make sense. If you were preparing the US for WW3 then you would do exactly what Trump is doing.

      He’s stupid enough to believe that autarky is a desirable situation, without actually knowing what the word means.

        It can be under certain circumstances, its generally desireable for a country to be able to feed itself for example, and being able to produce products yourself is useful when negotiating trade agreements. The problem is when autarky becomes conflated with isolationism.
