I can’t tell if he’s threatening global annihilation or…what.

I can’t believe this isn’t getting more attention. I’m pretty sure this level of nuclear war insinuation from an American president is unprecedented.

THAT’S the appeal to thump. “No other president has ever done this! I’m the first! I’m the best!” He wants to go where no president has gone before. I’d like him to go where the sun don’t shine. ---

I don’t think he understands what The Bomb can do at all. He probably thinks that he could drop a few on Kim Jong-Un(1) in the next couple of days while Ivanka is in Seoul and she wouldn’t even feel patchouli breezes. 1: with whom he’d have such a good relationship except when he’s busy insulting him, but why would anybody keep track? ---

I don’t know that this needs it own thread, so I’m posting it here: [AP story](https://apnews.com/ce4dbdd4446c4862bb9c483425554c67/Trump-officials-fight-eviction-from-Panama-hotel-they-manage): > [@](#): > > One of President Donald Trump’s family businesses is battling an effort to physically evict its team of executives from a luxury hotel in Panama where they manage operations, and police have been called to keep the peace, The Associated Press has learned. Witnesses told the AP they saw Trump’s executives carrying files to a room for shredding. > > Representatives of the hotel owners’ association formally sought to fire Trump’s management team Thursday by hand-delivering termination notices to them at the Trump International Hotel and Tower, according to a Panamanian legal complaint filed by Orestes Fintiklis, who controls 202 of the property’s 369 hotel units. Trump’s managers retreated behind the glass walls of an office where they were seen carrying files to an area where the sounds of a shredding machine could be heard, according to two witnesses aligned with the owners. The legal complaint also accused Trump’s team of improperly destroying documents. > [@](#): > > Elsewhere in the building, the hotel owners’ team and its allies were barred by Trump Hotel staff from entering the room containing the building’s closed-circuit TV system as well as key computer servers for the hotel and apartments that share the property. In response, they shut off power to the room — temporarily bringing down phone lines and internet connections within the building. > > According to the legal complaint, Trump’s chief of security and six security guards “pushed and shouted at” Fintiklis when he came to deliver the termination notices. The complaint said the hotel employees then called the police. I remember reading about trouble at this property before the election (residents/owners unhappy with Trump management, etc.) but it slipped off the radar quite a while ago and I had mostly forgotten about it. Now it seems to have blown up into something huge and nasty. I wonder what records were being destroyed? And why is staying on as management for this property so important to Trumps? ---

This idea is so stupid and cartoonish it could almost work re: NK. What if Kim praised Trump like Duterte does? Went on and on about how smart and capable he was? Threw in a nod to the great electoral victory? If Kim flattered Trump, Trump might actually stop waving that metaphorical loaded gun around. It doesn’t stop the problem long-term and Kim probably wouldn’t do anything like that, but it’s weirdly a solution that might just dial everyone back just that little bit. I’m not saying we should necessarily give concessions or that Trump and Kim are going to solve this decades-old issue by flattering each other, but appeasement for temporary de-escalation isn’t the worst idea ever. Especially with these two. What shouldn’t work might actually work. ---

Thanks for posting this. That’s hilarious. The Trump building is the tallest one in Panama City and I hate having to see it every day. It would be great if he lost control. ---
