Re: President Trump 2.0

We also know that market style doing deals doesn't work when you're the only one doing it.

The world is big enough to give two fingers to the USA government. However, the world needs to see the light, which they're not doing - yet.

Re: President Trump 2.0

But Trump doesn't do "market style deals", because he believes in zero-sum deals (if he wins, someone has to lose, and be seen to lose) - that's not how international trading markets works.

Trump not only has to be seen to be winning, he wants to show (and announce) that others lose, showing that he is the best, and knows more than anyone else (you know, like ISIS, the courts, lawsuits, the visa system, trade, the US Government system, renewable energy, taxes, debt, the economy, drones, technology, drone technology, etc.)

Also, as we have seen recently, trying to make a deal with Trump depends on who he speaks to last, so can change day to day - he can't be trusted to keep his word (and at this time, Trump is the US Government - his motto appears to be "l'état, c'est moi*").

*Which is quite ironic because around 250 years ago, the US revolted against a King, because of things like
- He has refused his Assent to Laws
- He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
- He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance
- For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
- For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences
- He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us

Re: President Trump 2.0

The problem, and surely even the most rabid Trumpanzees can see, is that having the world’s biggest narcissist in such a high position of power is as dangerous as it gets

I'm guessing Maggy was really impressed with a previous post (perhaps the one just before hers) and is unable to rep it due to having repped the poster already.

You know, just a guess.

Ah well the system stops us having favourites and ignoring everyone else.

Re: President Trump 2.0

I agree.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's purse was stolen Sunday night at a Washington, D.C. restaurant. At the time, the bag contained a number of sensitive personal items including Noem's driver's license, passport, DHS access badge, checks and roughly $3,000 in cash, according to three sources briefed, including two law enforcement officials.

The Secret Service is reviewing security camera footage at the restaurant and has identified a White male suspect who was allegedly wearing a medical mask during the theft. The individual was not immediately spotted by her Secret Service detail, with the bag being discovered lost by Noem herself.

Noem was dining at The Capital Burger, a popular and busy locale near DC's downtown. Her purse was placed against her foot underneath her seat, according to two sources familiar.

Thankfully nothing that concerning from a national security pov although sucks for her and a bit of a failing from the secret service. I guess they had their eyes on her rather than the bag under the seat but someone would have had to have gotten quite close...

Re: President Trump 2.0

It might be a dig at Biden missing the Queen's funeral.
