Since he subcontracts all his thinking and none of his talking out of both sides of his mouth, I would assume someone somewhere must hire some at least half-competent analytics guy before it all becomes distorted through their cronyist chain of command.
I really wish we had done more - when we realized they were bipolar during the first presidency, we had ~8 years to do more.
At the onset they were still 70% trade partner, with a target end of this year to drop it to 50%.
We should diversify more, and even when we all collectively get 4-8 years of increased stability back from the Americans, we should never fully revert back; it’s not a problem they’re going to be able to fit, especially when they take the Department of Education and eliminate it as waste.
Except the can of pop is every can of pop that has ever existed.
Confirmed already; $1-5M lunch buy-ins with corporate execs per head - the topic? Tariff exemptions.
Who cares about billions and trillions of wealth destruction of the public coffers when he can make millions per day personally?
PC versus CP - at least one is demonstrably less malicious, but I’m inclined to agree this isn’t bullish for the future.
God speed. Hopefully if/when you can wrest control back your country can do something to bring sanity back to American politics, since it’s just bad for everyone.
Short of 2 decades and doubling the education budget, not sure what your options are though; going to be hard to undo all the international and reputational harm that’ll come out of it, even with the promise of 4-8 years of at least not outright malicious policy.
Privacy focused browsers can help (but don’t fully resolve). Not to redo the work of others, copy/pasta:
What makes fingerprinting a threat to online privacy? It is pretty simple. First, there is no need to ask for permissions to collect all this information. Any script running in your browser can silently build a fingerprint of your device without you even knowing about it. Second, if one attribute of your browser fingerprint is unique or if the combination of several attributes is unique, your device can be identified and tracked online. In that case, no need for a cookie with an ID in it, the fingerprint is enough.
A couple of useful articles:

There’s also a number of interviews with white and red hat hackers who delve quite deeply into the subject and how they’ve used this telemetry to go after black hats (mainly to emphasize that even with some degree of sophistication this can be difficult to evade, especially when compounded with other methods and telemetry already modelled against your identity).
Frankly already a moot point - your browser fingerprints are already uniquely identifying (even before IP, cookies, and backend analytics). Realistically, tho, just more info for them to sell, leak and then eventually pay $0.25 per person in Google Play credit in the class action settlement.
Sure, it’s absolutely valid that Trump has massively helped Liberals in the polls.
It’s also true that the Conservatives attempt to emulate Trump’s populist rhetoric also blew up in a post Trump victory, as they themselves drew the comparisons.
