Drill Baby Drill...the US Politics Thread (Part 4)

I cannot really say for sure, but he posted it himself, so is responsible for it.
Looks real enough to me and filmed by a someone who knows how to zoom in for dramatic effect (so professional photographer for sure).

Not sure it matters if it is AI really when he posts it himself to send the message.

But for now, it is ā€œTrollingā€, I suppose. I don’t know. But it always starts with teenage trolling, so…

It was more that if real it can be a symptom of dyslexia/dysgraphia and well …

A lot of bluster, but it is very telling that his counter-counter tariffs are announced for January 1, far away and plenty of time to back down even after mid-term elections.

Canadian tariffs go into force September 8, providing a near-term time frame to restart negotiations. My guess is that unless the negotiations restart, the F-35 deal will be cancelled September 16, with a Gripen contract announced by Carney in Europe that day. If negotiations do restart, I think the timing becomes more awkward.

In other news, I saw an analysis showing American firms now pay 64% more than the global price for aluminium. American suppliers don’t have the confidence in the tariff regime to make long-term capital investments, so instead they are just reaping short-term profits.

It’s almost as if a couple of years ago he stumbled across a YouTube video and learned what a Tariff is.

My take is that he comes up with this kind of shit everytime he tries to cover up something else. The media then lap it up and make a big story out of it, instead of staying focused on what hurts him: Epstein files, being caught in a war he started, but of which he doesn’t know how to come out now, all the real suffering he brings on people within and outside of the US with his moronic policies and decisions.

That would be great. It could spark a reaction in other countries as well, especially in Europe. Many countries are under pressure from their populations to cancel their F-35 deals.

This orange tumour will probably call Earth ā€œGlobe of Americaā€.

He signed the executive order, making Lake Ontario Lake America, so it is official now

Pity the Treaty governing the St. Lawrence Seaway makes no mention of that lake in giving American ships full access.

Maybe we should rename Lake Michigan Lake Epstein?

It is just beyond belief that a sitting US President could have the time or inclination for something this childish, but here we are…Thursday, in the new normal. Meanwhile, there are some hard questions being asked in Jackson Hole as to whether or not the Federal Reserve now controls US money supply.

His name should be changed legally to ā€œTurd of Americaā€

Obviously he is an utter moron and that is a problem in itself, but so much of the absurdity is because he has no idea what government is or does or therefore what his role is supposed to be. So much of his presidency is just Michael Scott running around the Office screaming ā€œI declare bankrupcy.ā€

OMG, here’s another one. She is so outrageously stupid

Trump is unbelievable, actually believable in how childish he is.

He just doesn’t have gravitas of someone that should be leading his country.

He lacks the dignity, poise or gravitas of someone that is a leader and says even more about his followers.

It is a bad indictment of the American people that he has such a position.
