Probably something like this.
It’s the Underpants Gnomes business model:
-
Start pointless trade war.
-
???
-
PROFIT!!!
-
might well be “Go short on all the industries that Trump has just adversely affected by this stupid trade war, but get carve-outs for any areas that might affect businesses he actually owns”. But that would imply the existence of a plan.
Thanks, y’all. 'Cause we know there has to be financial gain at the bottom of it. If thump were offered Emperorship of the World and all the Nobel Prizes there are, but had to be poor, he’d say no thanks.
I don’t even think he cares about immigration or white supremacy except insofar as he can turn those associations into profit for himself.
WaPo has it.
Trump is clearly indebted to Russian oligarchs - Trump’s just doing what Putin tells him to. If he doesn’t, he and his financial ‘empire’ (house of cards) will collapse and he probably takes up residence in federal prison. It’s beyond obvious that almost every major foreign policy maneuver he has been to Putin’s benefit and our country’s detriment. Trump probably sees no real harm done because he possesses no understanding at all of economics, business, or international trade. He understands finance in terms of how to raise money and how to find suckers. Trump is a gangster capitalist who obviously finds himself comfortable in the presence of other gangsters.
Rant from his rally last night. You have to assume that his fans are brain-damaged to hear this and not wonder what is wrong with him.
:eek:
O good lord, what the holy hell is going on in that man’s cranium?
I’ll see if I can translate:
My events draw more people than Elton John does in the same venue. And it’s significant that I can draw people without the benefit of performing on a musical instrument. And my events fill space that, for other performing artists, would be taken up with infrastructure.
And Elton John plays the organ. And the brain is an organ. And the mouth is not a musical instrument. It all ties together!
Good God, that is a word salad, a word frappe.
Elton has an organ? Was that ever in question?
But apparently Trump admits he doesn’t have one.
Sometimes when the Trumpian word salad becomes too much, I like to listen to two minutes at-random and take a deep, *deeeeep *breath.
Holy shit!
Chinese company producing Trump 2020 flags despite looming trade war
I guess its too much to ask the ‘buy american’ guy to actually buy american made flags for his presidential campaign?
Former Fox News reporter Charles Gasparino:
“Just heard @POTUS at this rally complaining about the use of anonymous sources. For the record he was one of mine over the years.”
“and they never say I’m a great speaker…”
What is this I don’t even
I bet Ivanka’s and his clothing line (made in China) is still doing fine too … especially since he made sure it was made exempt from tariffs (“Donald J. Trump signature collection”).
Good.
Good. I hope they crucify him. And I hope he drags many more down with him.
