      Nah, just his organization. He already had what he claimed was his personal Vietnam. It was surviving the 1970s without an STD.

        Honestly I’d hope they’d deal with trump’s business scams on their own. 😏

        Great country, I hope the USA learns a thing or two from Vietnam like this: https://apnews.com/article/vietnam-trial-death-sentence-anticorruption-campaign-943b7ab86e88905ebc7334c13cf123ff

    The irony of a guy who’s literal slogan is to make America great, slapping tariffs to “protect” American businesses, etc… Who is now investing billions in a country on the other side of the world instead of America. Hmmm

    The environmental impact on golf courses is huge. This is such a waste, especially now when we are “trying” to fight global warming.

    Hey, as long as the Vietnamese firm gets their money up-front, I’m 100% in support of countries taking as much money from the moronic grifter as they can.

      My dad worked on forest preservation in Northern Vietnam and conservation of critically endangered species and this kind of project is just going to make things a lot worse.

      If you fuck up nature, atleast make the masses reap the short lived benefits, not the wealthy few.

        Maybe if we’re lucky, they’ll forget to bribe the Vietnamese government and get the death penalty and their assets seized, like that one Vietnamese billionaire.

    Why didn’t he just divert funds from the hurricane relief for this? /s

    Seriously though, as much as he is screaming about it, he already or is planning on using those funds for his own personal gain. I understand that he is sowing discourse to shut these organizations and agencies down, but there has to be more to it. He has to personally benefit

    Vietnam can certainly use the money with China beating up their fishermen. Maybe a few more guns aimed north or boats on patrol.

A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). 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.

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.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
