This is the point that Carney keeps coming back to - these deals that Trump has bullied countries into and avoided taking through the Congressional approval path simply aren’t worth it. They change at his whim.

..and on cue the Dow is tanking

:100: there is a joke that RW pundits are all failed theatre kids. It’s simultaneously true, powerfully explanatory about why everything from them is so performative (and done poorly), but it also winds them up because theatre is woke and for gays

Can someone stick him on a cross and let the birds feed. Keep his clothes on mind, no one wants that.

Trump is picturing himself with a full mane of hair like Jesus… Instead of that Shredded Wheat that is plonked on his head…

The last time he started this nonsense, the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury was 4% and jumped to 4.5% in two weeks. This time he is starting it with the yields at 4.4%. If we see something similar, US will be pushing toward 5% - that is widely seen as a critical threshold, quietly the one that has Labour under so much pressure in the UK.

This an impressive twist on racism…hating an entire country because of your dislike of one woman who was born there

The audience of bootlickers and sycophants applauding and cheering the orange idiot’s nonsense is truly a cause of despair. Even if/when Trump’s gets ejected from office, we won’t get rid of them.

I read that his resentment stems from the rejection he suffered from the Somalian super model ‘Iman’ whom later became the wife of David Bowie… Something his very very fragile ego has never been able to fully accept…
Here are a couple of comments taken from a Google search, but there are plenty of other verifications out there for confirmation.

  • The Pursuit: Reports suggest that in the 1990s—following his divorce from Ivana Trump—Donald Trump sought a relationship with Iman, believing his advances would be accepted.
  • The Rejection: Iman reportedly declined his advances and went on to marry British music icon David Bowie in 1992.
  • Lingering Resentment Speculation: Some observers have suggested that this rejection may have contributed to a personal grudge, speculating that it influenced Trump’s later harsh rhetoric toward Somali immigrants, although no direct evidence links the two events.
  • Iman’s Stance: In discussions around this topic, reports note that Iman has maintained her dignity, often highlighting her pride in her Somali heritage and her marriage to David Bowie, whom she often referred to as her true love until his passing in 2016.

I suspect that it is more likely that he is a spoilt brat who doesn’t cope with people saying no, and he is also a racist prick.

I’ve been watching old episodes of South Park, and the similarities between Trump and Cartman are uncanny. Do you think they based the character on Trump?

I have a confession to make here… I have never watched an episode of South Park in my life :0(
Suffice to say, I will delve into this character though now you say he is similar to Trump… that does spike my interest a tad…
If I had to compare the Trump behaviour, although not as extreme as him obviously, I would nominate Denny Crane from Boston Legal… but obviously Trump doesn’t have his sense of humour, but especially in the way he behaves around women… he is a dead ringer.

Who actually comes up with all this nonsense? Don’t they know any better?
