The Official "Damned Trump" Thread: Phase II

[Jackalope]

Totally normal diplomatic behavior. Nothing to see here.

Looks like his tariff threats were just bluffs in a very-high-stakes poker game. Thank goodness he seems to have the sense to know when his bluff has been called.

Remember the buyout offer (official title: 'Bribing People To Quit Scheme') that was sent to US federal employees? It included air traffic controllers, but suddenly it doesn't.

Considering how many auto worker union members voted for this guy, it is time they feel the results of his madness very soon. He told them what he would do, but they voted for him anyway.

North America’s auto industry will almost immediately grind to a halt if U.S. President Donald Trump implements steep tariffs on all goods from Canada and Mexico, Linamar Corp. Chairperson Linda Hasenfratz warns.

According to the White House, Trump's tariffs are about to make Americans live like Jesus who also didn't have stuff like a job and electricity but managed just fine.

The youngest White House press secretary ever Karoline Leavitt - who is married to a man 32 years her senior - confused members of the press when answering a question for the Trump administration.

When asked about the tariff war between Canada and the United States after the prime minister of Canada said he would consider cutting off electricity to America if Donald Trump continues to impose tariffs, she referenced Jesus Christ.

"They want you to panic, but President Trump wants you to remember Jesus didn’t have electricity either and he did just fine," Leavitt said.

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but Nate White seems to have read my mind here, he's nailed it for me. 

"British Writer Pens The Best Description Of Trump I’ve Read"

https://groups.google.com/g/usaafricadialogue/c/YcvcyUSt4Jk/m/KR8tSL2gAQAJ?pli=1


Here are some snippets:

"...he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed."

"he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally...He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty."

"A Jabba the Hutt of privilege...He punches downwards – he is that most unforgivable of all things...a bully...and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down."

Now those are some good darts...

It's consistent, at least. Losing is winning. Up is down. Black is white. Just keep shoveling shit and everyone thinks they're getting a pony.

The monkeys were watching what Trump did with Mexico and Canada. China retaliates. They're tightening supply on rare minerals, among other things. Time to invade Greenland.

Funny how they never mention this.
