What country (ies) are we ceasing trade with, Donnie? You demanded the Fed Chair drop interest rates - or else he’d shut off trade. He /they raised rates. Ketchup time. What about it Donnie, Bessent, Lutnik? Bueller? Anyone?
May I suggest a compromise?

I get so sick of people saying President trump has no sense of humor. Here he is telling a North Carolina crowd of loyal MAGAs that he won’t send additional hurricane relief money the state needs to continue rebuilding from hurricane Helene unless the Repub NC Senate candidate is elected.
Then he says “just kidding”. Hilarious! Reminds me of the classic bit where a doctor pretends to a patient that their test results are very bad, and they may not have long to live, then says “just kidding! You’re fine”.
Quoting the article:
At last someone has finally said to his face what should have been said long ago.
I hadn’t heard of Congresswoman Beatty until now. I’m already a fan.
Not to reinforce stereotypes here, but it comes as no surprise to me that the person willing to clap back at Trump was a black woman. Which must have rankled Trump even more. And probably why he was ranting at her in the first place.
God, I would love to see a recording of this interaction!
I believe we can look forward to the Todd Blanche DOJ launching a criminal investigation into Representative Beatty rather soon.
For what, you ask?
It is to laugh.
Lèse-majesté of course.
I can already see her on the next Democratic presidential ticket…perhaps paired with a White woman:
WARREN/BEATTY 2028
Love it. Actually not a bad ticket at all!
Chris Hayes on MSNow pointed out that That’s Not How This Works. “If I give you $10 and you give me a burrito, I have a deficit with you but I haven’t “lost” anything. I have a burrito.”
Yeah, that’s called ”paying the seller for stuff you voluntarily choose to buy from them”. I have to admit that even after all these years of exposure to Trump idiocy, I’m still a bit stunned that he apparently doesn’t seem to know how this works. Wasn’t he supposed to be some kind of business executive at some point before he settled into his final career as a reality TV character actor?
Wasn’t he supposed to be a Bachelor of Science in economics from The Wharton School of Business?
There’s the rub. How many contractors has he sued to try to get out of paying the bill. He rubs them into the dirt in the court system, and trys to stiff them.
He doesn’t think he has to pay for one damn thing.
(Nobody knew there was an n in damn)
One day he will learn that not only you pay for what you want, but you can get paid too if you make things others want. And then he will force the world to buy American goods at inflated prices, whether we want them or not. Similar to what he is already doing with military equipment, but for even more worthless, deficient, useless things. Genius. Stable.
Yes.
“Thank you, Sir!”, I said with tears in my eyes. “I never knew damn had an N. I’ve been spelling it wrong all these years”.
