[Politics] Donald Trump, US President

[Brian Munich]

Still wake up every morning hoping for news of a heart attack.

 

[Bodian]

Amongst the latest sh!te to fall out of his mouth, Trump seems to think trade deals have been unfair, because eg China have sold millions of cars in the US, but haven’t bought the same numbers of US cars in China? Even with his trans fat riddled brain, he surely can’t believe this is the way ‘trade’ works?

I think that's exactly what he thinks.

Here is a list of stupid, gullible fuckwits who decided to kiss Trump’s arse.

I do love a list of stupid, gullible, fuckwits

There's an equivalent list on NSC. Brexit, Johnson, Truss, Farage, Trump, it's all there, just a matter of which point they decided to jump off the 'bus'. When I say 'jumped off' I mean got banned, changed to one of their various other accounts, put all political threads on 'ignore', pretended it wasn't them, anything but actually explain their post.

It's all here forever, on the Internet, but I would never 'Play the man' by quoting a post and asking what they were thinking when they made that post because that wouldn't be fair, would it. Even though their well publicised idiocy has cost people on here very dearly

I would contest that. One of my biggest disagreements with the EU was the way the EU favoured Italian farmers and French for example with the CAP. There were other points I would also have disagreed with at the time, but it seems very futile to bring them up. The world has indeed changed and I regret very much that Brexit occurred, not many of us, whichever side of the Brexit argument we were on, would have predicted an unfettered Russia and a completely mad USA at this point. Provided the EU was not punitive, and I agree with @Thunder Bolt here that there is no reason to suppose it would be in these circumstances, then I would wholeheartedly vote to rejoin.

Water under the bridge, but I thought the EU didn't particularly favour French and Italian farmers, it was more that as sovereign nations they decided to spend the money propping up small farmers, while we just gave the money to the biggest land owners, regardless of farming activity.

Life's not fair.

I think stupid, gullible fuckwits tend to get exactly what they deserve.

It's called Karma, have a cracking evening

That’s very difficult to achieve when every one of those countries is under pressure to look after its own interests.

For example, what does JLR do about the cars now stacking up that it had earmarked to supply to the US, or likewise VW? The temptation will be to find other markets to sell them, which will get that stock off their respective books but likely depress prices and cause other problems.

It would be difficult domestically for the UK or Germany to work against that.

If countries negotiate, Trump will give them a good trousers-down seeing to. If they mirror, Trump will just keep escalating (see his response to China today) and, because he doesn’t give a f***, and might even be enjoying this, he’ll blink last.

The world is, sadly, caught between a prick and a hard place.

As Scaramucci says, Trump's main goal seems to be having every media outlet and podcast talking about him.

Relax, keep exercising three times a week....oh, I see what you mean

 

[South Stand Bonfire]

That is exactly what he is doing and wants. He has such an inflated ego and self opinion, he craves attention just like a child does irrespective of the means to get it. And he is never wrong, ever. He can’t admit that he was ever in the wrong so, once you realise that, that is how you have to try and play him.

Listening to Trump's press chat with Netanyaho. He has just:

• Likened trade deficits to profit and loss
• Said that countries take the trade surplus and spend it on their militaries
• Casually talked about ethnic cleansing of Gaza again

Just your usual Monday night insanity

And said that Hamas don’t treat prisoners as well as the Nazis did.

And to think the most unrealistic thing about that is Trump laughing and smiling.

I missed that part. I’d stepped away briefly to stab at my own knackers with a rusty spoon.

He also said he didn't know why Israel "gave away" Gaza
