Oh no, are profits in danger? Finally something the DNC can actually be bothered to care about.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Leopards ate my face!
Oh no, anyway...
The authors are conflating two issues. They mention the reduced tourism, but that is not about being anti-American. People are reasonably scared of getting locked up; why would anyone risk visiting the U.S. if they had another decent option (like, for example, any country that isn't at war right now)? ... And this is a totally different issue from boycotting American manufacturers. It's about personal safety.
At the same time, the anti-American sentiment goes hand-in-hand with tariffs. If the U.S. charges tariffs on the EU, for example, people who work sales in the EU will be hurt by the loss of customers. And then when the EU issues counter-tariffs, US goods become too expensive to buy... And this is all about basic economics, not about feelings.
And then, finally, there are feelings. Many people think that Trump (who is in the Epstein Files) is an evil POS. And most large American corporations supported his rise to power and are currently licking his boots. Supporting that evil man is itself an evil act, many people would say.
Anyway, these are three different overlapping issues, and Newsweek should have good enough writers to describe the situation with greater precision. But if you bring in the non-emotional arguments, that makes the U.S. companies look like big jerks, right, so of course the magazine couldn't be bothered with that kind of analysis. Better to describe the broader international community as moody or some shit like that. Meh.
Very good points. Remember that Newsweek is a jerk US company that supported Trump and is currently licking his boots. Corporate media has very skilled writers who are doing everything they can to normalize what is going on now.
Anti-american sentiment is largely justified. There's concentration camps and masked men kidnapping people off the street. People are proudly wearing the maga-hat symbols of trumpism.
I hope all these fuckers running the companies get the day they voted for.
The absolute worst day.
This country sucks. Hopefully it splits up soon.
i'm joining the war on rising anti-american sentiment on the side of rising anti-american sentiment
Canada here. In our house we're still not buying anything American because their president threatened to invade and annex our country, and the government have yet to walk it back or even apologize. And even if the president of America did back off and say sorry, he's a rapist and a pedophile so he can still go fuck himself.
I don't think the powers-that-be in the US realize quite how much damage they've done to international relations lately. This isn't the sort of thing they can just say sorry for and expect to go back to normal once Trump is dead and everyone is pretending they didn't enable him for the last decade.
People don't remember tariffs from 9 years ago. People will never remember what's important.
Please keep it up. It's the only kind of support we deserve right now.
The issue is legitimately that they're all a bunch of massively racist fucks and were told for over a decade how the world saw us as a laughing stock (because we had a black man as president), despite being ridiculously popular on the world stage, and so they think just by having a rich white asshole suddenly we're respected again, even though he's truly the biggest laughing stock ever.
As an American, good. We have too many chuckle-fucks here who live in their own bubbles, thinking America can do whatever the fuck it wants without consequence, like we're not all a part of the same global stage. We deserve every ounce of criticism we're getting.
I've been in Scandinavia since early July and yeah, being American is basically a joke. If you can sit down and have a real chat, they know very well that our politics don't represent us but quick face to face? Couldn't give a single fuck about us.
Sucks to be a company who supported Trump and the GOP.
I'm becoming anti-American, and I'm American. I totally understand why the rest of the world hates us. I don't blame them at all.
You and me and a legion of other American citizens.
Gee I wonder where that could've stemmed from?
I'm american and am so fucking ashamed of this place right now. Hoping for aliens to come down --since they always land in the US-- and just start blasting...
If I was an alien I would stay the fuck out of America, lol.
This is proof that individuals do have power. Together we have a voice. Keep speaking.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
These stupid cunts didn't realize he was unpopular when they were doing photo ops during the campaign? Let them suffer.
And it's working! It's so funny to see companies like McDonalds advertise with: "Your burger is produced in Europe" or the like. At least they seem to acknowledge that they are biting off one of the hands that feed them, good.
Keep up the boycott. Make those scumbags pay.
As an American I say fuck'em. I have hated on America since Reagan.
"made in USA" is a warning label
Sucks to suck.
They spent billions of dollars and decades avoiding competition at all costs.
We can't have good cars or phones or anything really. All our appliances are designed to break so you have to buy another. Planned obsolescence. Enshitification.
Whenever I have a choice I avoid US products and I'm American. Because the products are either designed to fail or just worse. And for a higher price.
....how long until mcdonalds expand their business into the prison food racket??
