"Critique"
My critical comments on the current issues - politics, economy, society, statistics, sports...
2/3/2025 Trade war and the stock market (Washington Post)
https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2025/02/03/trump-tariffs-stock-markets-trade-war/
Trump and his Republican sycophants backed by uneducated MAGAs are ruining not only the US economy but also the world economy. Many people, including myself, will sell US shares and there will be more financial market crashes. I am furious at this senile wannabe dictator!
2/7/2025 Japanese PM's behavior in the meeting with Trump (New York Times)
How "pathetic" is this Japanese Prime Minister... Look at Ishiba holding the photo of Trump taken soon after his assassination attempt and praising him for his strength. Ishiba could not even answer the question from journalists about Japan's possible retaliatory tariffs against the Trump administration. Unlike other countries promising retaliatory tariffs, the Japanese government is considering compensation for Japanese companies using trade insurance without a countermeasure against the US!
2/9/2025 "Project 2025" and its dismal impact on public health (Washington Post)
--- it says in Project 2025’s blueprint. “This market-based reform would help reduce federal taxpayer subsidization of leftist agendas.” ---
Is biomedical research that saves people's lives a "leftist" agenda? Project 2025 criminal cult led by Trump, Musk and the Heritage Foundation should be the first to suffer from the consequence of this unscientific attempt based on greed. It will cause a significant loss of scientific knowledge to cure illnesses.
2/10/2025 Venezuelan immigrants who voted for Trump - its consequences (Washington Post)
https://www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/2025/02/09/trump-migrants-venezuelans-deport-tps/
Some Venezuelans who will likely get deported due to the cancellation of temporary protected status (TPS) by Trump still support him! How can you characterize their minds and behaviors? The problem here is it is costly not only to them but also to sane and intelligent people in the US and around the world.
2/15/2025 US Vice President Vance admonished European leaders while embracing far-right (Washington Post)
US reputation went down the toilet. No more US soft power, No more trust in the US controlled by MAGA criminals. Europe and Ukraine had better get rid of the US. The US under Trump only benefits Russia under Putin. It is a pity that the US has become a "rogue" state controlled by far-right and supported by uneducated MAGA mass. This is a tragedy not only for educated Americans but also for the entire world.
2/26/2025 US Defense Secretary does not know which countries are ASEAN members (South China Morning Post, Hong Kong)
Misery continues in the US when those without basic knowledge of world politics serve as Secretaries. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, a former military veteran and FOX News anchor, could not name any ASEAN countries. Just unbelievable...
4/21/2025 Japanese minister seen wearing a MAGA hat (Mainichi Shimbun / SCMP)
https://mainichi.jp/english/articles/20250421/p2a/00m/0na/012000c
This reminds me of the pathetic behavior of Japanese Prime Minister Ishiba towards Trump about two months ago. This time, the Japanese minister in charge of trade negotiations with the US was seen wearing a MAGA cap.... How pathetic and humiliating! I did not know that Japan was a MAGA country.
