Trump made the comments Thursday, in his first speech to world leaders since returning to the White House for his second term.

    “We’re going to be demanding respect from other nations,” Trump said.

    Respect needs to be mutual. He sounds like the typical asshole uncle that always acts like they’re owed respect be have never showed any in return.

      Most of the world had respect for America before Maga surfaced and it was revealed that it was full of Morons and Nazis. At least more than was suspected before.

      This how the aholes in my company treated our vendors. Vendors said go suck it, leading to increasing lead times to “yeah I dk when you’ll get stuff” for a year. The fact it happened 2x in a few year is mine boggling.

        Ah, did you work for a Volkswagen or General Motors supplier in the late 1990s and early 2000s?

        Because I recall that exact situation, and the resulting crash of quality.

          Rofl I won’t say much but let’s say I’m very certain they were rehired somewhere I know and then fired for the same behavior. Lessons here is don’t hire anyone from auto industry. They are just bullies.
