Trump is opposition (not incumbent) who makes all sorts of promises. Now he got elected and he carries them out and sinkies/americans complain

Oppostion in Singapore. They are making all sorts of promises. If they get elected and they actually carry them out, what do u think will happen?

Americans want a change. They vote Trump. What happens?

Sinkies want a change. They vote Oppo. What do u think will happen?

If anything, Trump is like a mirror image of some of our opposition members.

PAP is also no angel. But it’s a devil we know

Best. People say PAP cut salaries la. Trump donates his salary (at least first term). Any better?

Thankfully, Singaporeans have voted wisely over the decades. Let's hope everyone continue to vote wisely and Singapore sail through this storm relatively unscathed... Hopefully.🙏

The usual rant of the oppies.

PM Wong speaks to the nation about the seismic change in the world order, from a rule based one to one which is self centred, protectionist, and which for all intents and purposes is a clear abandonment of the old system which prospered nations. This is what happened when the US could only offer two old men, and later one dropped out and the best candidate it could find was that Kamala who was complicit in the bad policies made by the US under Biden.

The US has almost 400 million people, and that was all it could find. Choosing between Trump and Biden, and later Kamala was choosing between the deep blue sea and the devil.

LMW spoke about Ridout again, recently. Now! that's what you should be talking about Election is coming!

PM Wong spoke about REAL national issues, and ended his speech giving us hope.
If world wan go protectionist , sg also truly lan lan .., we export 3 x our gdp ...

Then pap can flee country with their earned millions n retire good life while singaporean deal with the ****

For a strategist, it is quite daft to lay out your true thoughts on a video. Competitors and people no need to analyse, can just watch videos to get the lay of the land. Unless, it is not a true thought. For the people on the ground, those macroeconomic movement of the world, although important, would giving absolute mandate helps? how does getting 100% homogeneous env help when everyone groupthinks.

Hope or no hope... we cannot do anything... I have gotten used to that especially we cannot control the increase in prices of EVERYTHING...even the necessities. He is talking about facts which can be found easily on the internet... any values add, Pappies?

He is just preparing everyone for the tough time ahead.

There will be more pay cuts, retrenchments and unemployment this year.

SG PM can only describe what Trump has done.
At least LW dares to say that the US is destroying the WTO system that they set up.
So far no other EU or Canadian leader dare to say this.

As a country, SG is too small to make an impact - even if we retaliate.
It would be meaningless.
So just sit back and watch the show as big countries/entities fight back against the US tariffs.

As of today, Canada and EU just Talk + Talk + Talk + Talk + Talk + Talk + Talk + Talk + Talk + Talk only,
Oh, I am going to do this. Oh, I am going to do that.
No solid action, No counter tariff, like what China did (immediately).

This is what Ronald Reagan said about tariffs in 1987.
See from 2:26 to 4:00.



In addition, LHL gave a good comment recently during opening of Singapore Maritime Week on 24 Mar 2025.
His comment is more solid than LW's response.

For decades, the U.S. has been one of the biggest champions of free trade, pushing for globalisation, signing FTAs, and encouraging open markets. Then suddenly, boom, it becomes protectionism.

So it’s kind of ironic because the U.S. is the one that helped build the global free trade system. Then it got upset when other countries played the game better and benefited from it.

Basically we are just screwed. Sounds more like political speech to me. What else can he do?

We no longer in LKY era.

Last time on might is right for physical war and now can apply it to trade war liao. Full blown trade war = Small countries GG.

Quoted"
The concept of "might is right", if applied to international relations, would make the world a dangerous place for small countries like Singapore, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said on Monday (Feb 28).

Is aiming at a few countries like india(serial protectionist and pusher to provide jobs to their people) and china(serial thief of tech and everything).

EU and the rest will just sit and wait to nego, they still allies

The tariff king Trumpet instead of MAGA will MAWA - yes , weak.
Trillions have been wiped out from US stock markets , tariff war will trigger global recession, US has lost respect and trust from its trading partners and military allies .
The global trading system has plunged into chaos thanks to trumpet. And make no mistake US, far from benefiting from tariff war will also be a loser
