So, is Trump crazy like a fox? Or is he an arrogant, stubborn, immature old man?
Is he really clamping down on the excess of DEI by sanctioning law firms, or just going after people he sees as a threat to him?
America’s economic structural problems started in the 1960s (Vietnam, Great Society), deteriorated in the 1970s (energy crisis, end of cheap oil), deepened in the 1980s (the beginning of the hollowing out of American manufacturing under “free enterprise”, free-trader Reagan Republicans), and finally metastasized under Clinton (NAFTA, terminate Glass-Steagall). This toxic situation then continued to spread rampantly under Bush (war in Iraq, reduction of civil liberties). So the hoUSe of cArds was very fragile by the time Obama arrived, let alone Trump-45, both of whom continued the failed policies of Clinton/Bush.
As many have said, “this can’t continue.” No, it can’t.
So, Trump thinks because he is not only “the Donald”, but also “The Prez”, he can use a chainsaw instead of a scalpel. I think he may have knocked the hoUSe of cArds down for good this month with his tariff stunt.
Trump is unwilling to end the war in Ukraine. I want to know, is he fomenting this market chaos to do Netanyahu’s bidding, or to avoid doing so?
To expand, regarding Iran, since Mr. Trump is not a serious man, I don’t take him seriously. Is he causing all this chaos on the financial markets so he can tell AIPAC and the Israeli Lobby that, "you know I love Israel, but I just cannot attack Iran right now", in a fit of belated reason?
Or, is he causing this chaos in the financial markets to distract people, so he CAN attack Iran like Miriam Adelson and the Israeli Lobby and Netanyahu want to, in an act of obfuscation?
If/when Trump is dumb enough to attack Iran in order to satisfy the NeoCONs and the Greater Israel crowd (the Israelis, AIPAC and Miriam Adelson, Bill Ackman, and the Israeli Lobby), the effects will dwarf the market disruptions and drops of early April. I hope The Donald knows that.
Nice summary. To these add the self-imposed full blown trade war with China, which threatens to go kinetic now as well. I wanted badly to believe in him after the utter disaster of Ol' SloJo and what's her face, but it's looking more and more like he was anointed to swing the political pendulum the other way as a distraction, while amping up the globalist agenda on steroids. If nothing else, it appears that we'll know the answers to all these questions fairly soon, as Trump has totally eschewed subtlety and deception in favor of his trademark elephant in a China shop mentality.
It’s a story I started way back in December 2010 and finished last year—obviously an on-again off-again project. It helped to fill the early morning hours before work mostly.
At first it was a story about a man trying to find his way back to his teenage daughter and trying to fit into his community. Over time a bit of romance (NOT MUCH) slipped in, as well as a handful of Bible verses. It wasn’t until October of 2023 that I realized maybe the best way to sum it up would be to say it’s about faith, hope, and love.
With all that said, I think a quick read of the Amazon reviews “sells it” better than I ever could. And FYI, the Kindle version will be free on Amazon from April 17th to April 21st.
Thanks for asking, and sorry if this was more than you wanted!
No, he doesn't. However, YOU are one of the few who does.

What I *really* don't understand about President Trump is why he would sacrifice his billionaire lifestyle to take shit from fugly negresses (and others) to save a country populated by so many fat, impatient, did I say IMPATIENT? ingrates.
Edit: ingrates who ALL know so much better than he does.
He has probably been told that. I think part of Trump's job is to crash the economy - not for his class of course, they will rake in their winnings as they always do. A war with Iran will crash the economy, but might as well undermine it before bringing in the wrecking ball.
We are planning to nuke Iran, hoping to achieve the same gains we got from nuking Japan. That is, making Russia and China back off, control of the the sea lanes and dominance of a region (in Japan's case, that region was the Pacific.)
Why nuke Iran? To decapitate the government that has placed hundreds of mobile shore batteries (small missiles, rockets) on the Strait of Hormuz. No government, no shore batteries. Likewise, no Houthis blockading the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait of the Red Sea.
Iran defends Russia's soft underbelly; is a major supplier of hungry China's energy, and is the general running the proxy armies of the Shia Crescent, such as the Houthis, Hamas, and Hiz'b'allah (Hezbollah).
Taiwan is impossible, a feint; Ukraine is secondary, a drain; NATO Turkey and HST are aligned with Israel and have cleared Syria as the path for Israeli jets.
We've tied up Russia, are tying up China, are bombing the Houthi, and are lining up the majority of world nations to keep quiet; we are clearly signaling our sympathies. The gameboard is being set.
The EU will be further swamped with war "refugees", so the cabal backing Trump will be able to demonstrate uncontested dominance, even over its subject white nations. Neocons and spies are out, the technocabal is in, and it is cleaning house.
So now the Anti-Israel, TDS group has done their bit-weekly rant.
You want Trump to be more subtle? China shop? You complain about the wa things have been since mid-century, then turn right around and complain because Trump is blatantly trying to do something about it. Do you even understand WHAT you want?
They might just be trolls, Langley-bots, Sino-bots, et cetera. When he shut off all of Merle Haggard's "free Bubble Up" for the special people there was bound to be a typically sinister and disingenuous propaganda campaign.
What red blooded, Boobus Americaus could be against Israel? As Bibi said, Once we've gotten what we want from the United States, it can dry up and blow away.
I suspect a few of them are actually foreign nationals pretending to be Americans or Canadians and the tell is they get very defensive of countries like Iran and China.

One can hope, but I wouldn't count on it, Socrates. Israel is likely to be Trump's downfall.

Love how you worked in "China shop!"
No pun intended, but that did work out nice.
So tell me more about "The Trumansburg Project."

No, that was great. Thanks!
War is good for the economy, but only if you win. We will not defeat China or Russia, or even Iran if Russia supports them with hypersonic missiles.
"I hope The Donald knows that."
No, he doesn't. However, YOU are one of the few who does.

How about instead of psychoanalysis you look dispassionately at what happens? Perhaps not as fun but usually more accurate.

Trolls yes bots doubtful.

I'm still waiting for my bowl of rainbow stew.
"Do you even understand WHAT you want?"
Exactly.
Kinda like Occupy Wall Street's pathetic, "What is our one demand?". Adults still screaming for a diaper change.
