Could International Boycotts of US Brands Indicate a Decline in US Cultural Power? | DW News

Feb 6, 2026 | US President Donald Trump's return to the White House and his tariffs have had a seismic impact on global markets. Trump's own personal brand is growing - from cryptocurrencies to merchandise and real estate - but his policies are also creating "reputational risks" for other American companies.

Long before Trump, many US brands were able to capitalize on the "cool factor" of being American. But since Trump's terms in office, international movements to boycott US products have spread around the world. Is this backlash causing an actual decline in consumption of US products?

I called for a boycott of all American products and services back in early January! Click here.

WE CAN DO BETTER / WIR KÖNNEN ES BESSER MACHEN / NOUS POUVONS FAIRE MIEUX

The world is full of unnecessary suffering and deaths. Let us at least try to understand each other better and minimise the suffering and tragic deaths. One death is one death too many! Can’t we do better than this? / Die Welt ist voller unnötigem Leid und Tod. Versuchen wir wenigstens, einander besser zu verstehen und das Leid und die tragischen Todesfälle zu minimieren. Ein Tod ist ein Tod zu viel! Können wir es nicht besser machen? / Le monde est rempli de souffrances et de morts inutiles. Essayons au moins de mieux nous comprendre et de minimiser les souffrances et les morts tragiques. Un décès est un décès de trop ! Ne pouvons-nous pas faire mieux que cela ? – © Mark Alexander

FIRST KISS

I am placing this link here because Trump and his cronies are trying hard to take gays’ rights away from them. Moreover, Islam is growing in the West too, and if it gets too strong here, it will certainly take gays’ hard-fought-for, hard-won rights away from them. So here, you can enjoy two gay men kissing each other. What could possibly be offensive about that? If you are so narrow-minded that it upsets you, just click over.
