    Trump is a media genious (let’s give to Caesar what’s Caesars) he’s 80IQ in maths, economics and F- in history. Surrounded with yes men, this is what you get.

    History is littered with rulers in similar situations, and surprise, it goes exactly the same way. So here the EU will use soft power or whatnot and just blast that Donald out of the waters. Might take a while worst case, but that’s my prediction!

      Naw, I’m not giving Trump a cent more than he deserves. He is as good of a troll as anyone before 4chan could get, but he has nothing else going for him.

      I am more concerned about the background service. Like who were the ones that composed the newest sandwich bill? I feel if we get caught up in just the emotional part (he is trolling the whole world, after all), we won’t see the actual harm being caused behind the scenes.

      It feels that even this proposal is only there to distract from the actual harm being caused.

        It’s almost like the qanons, maga crazies etc are correct when they think there is a “cabal” or shadow government, it’s just that it isn’t the democrats doing it.

          Naw, they aren’t totally wrong. I mean take any kinda superpac, and see the influence. The problem is, they voted for a swindler, who is only there to further his own goals, not dismantle anything (well, besides soft power).
