Trump and DOGE Defund Program That Boosted American Manufacturing for Decades

Donald Trump says taxing imports will strengthen domestic manufacturing. Hours before announcing new tariffs, his administration cut support for centers that help US firms do just that.

"in the 1980s, Congress established a nationwide network of organizations to advise small American manufacturers... Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP)"

"Trust doesn't return with a photo op, a handshake, or deals signed under duress. It is built slowly, consistently, through a pattern of behavior. #Trump broke that pattern. He salted the earth. And now he struts through the wreckage, calling it a win.

The rest of the #world sees it for what it is...

They'll smile for the cameras. But they won't forget. And they won't trust."

"The damage isn't theoretical... Trade routes are shifting. Investment is diversifying. Global power is rebalancing... All of it is premised on a hard-earned truth: the #UnitedStates cannot be trusted to lead. Not because of one man but because of what half the country has chosen to normalize. Not because of #Trump alone but because every institution built to restrain him failed & then got in line."

"Allies are preparing for retaliation cycles. Enemies are exploiting the vacuum. #Trump brags about getting countries to the table. But a meeting is not respect. A press conference is not a partnership. These aren't alliances. These are standoffs with better lighting.

...His statecraft is theater. His negotiation tactic is a threat. His diplomacy is extortion. And the rest of the world is reacting accordingly."

"None of these governments believes #Trump will keep his word. How could they? The man broke every commitment he ever touched.

The #Iran deal. The #Paris Agreement. #NATO cooperation. #WTO norms. Trade deals with #Mexico, #Canada, and #China. He walked away from each of them. Because #chaos creates attention, and attention is the only currency he respects."

We cannot rely on the US to protect or nurture the commons. Think of the US as a giant shopping mall with guns. That’s it. That’s the whole philosophy right there.

We want to safeguard the infrastructure of civilisation, we have to do it ourselves here in the EU before it’s too late. And we can start by acknowledging our own failures and redoubling our commitment to fundamental rights and democracy (and not limit our own potential by having every single decision framed by the fucking “Single Market”).

You want to end up like the US? Then let’s keep going as we are. You want something different? We must invest in the commons, embrace our diversity, embrace equity, and move to an inclusive, post-capitalist existence.

It’s up to us. The bacteria in places we haven’t even visited yet that will survive long after we’ve made ourselves extinct – should that be the route we decide to take (because yes, it is a decision) – don’t really give two shits either way.

Acc/to another informed source of #AFP, "hate & conspiracy messages" were blamed on the French researcher by #US authorities. An #FBI investigation into him was announced, for which "the charges have been abandoned," continues this source.

…This incident comes as… #Trump has increased his shocking announcements targeting the #scientific community (brutal #BudgetCuts, #censorship of certain subjects in subsidized research...).

Continued thread

…Acc/to an #AFP source, the incident occurred on March 9. The space #science researcher allegedly underwent a *random* check on arrival, during which his work #computer & personal #phone were searched.…Messages referring to the treatment of scientists by the #Trump admin were found. He was accused of messages "which reflect hatred towards Trump & can be described as terrorism". His professional & personal equipment was #confiscated & the researcher was sent back to #Europe

"National Institutes of #Health officials have urged scientists to remove all references to #mRNA vaccine #technology from their grant applications... in a move that signaled the agency might abandon a promising field of medical #research...

#Scientists relayed their experiences on the condition of anonymity for fear of professional retaliation by the #Trump administration...

It hurts me to say this, as an #American, but people need to avoid the #USA for 2 years, at least, 2027, when the #Democrats can get a majority in #Congress and stonewall #Trump

If that doesn't happen (which would be a serious tragedy), then 4 years. And if we get a #MAGA/ Trump president in 2029, write off this country for a generation at least
