Old man yells at developed nation from his shithole.
Didn't he sign a new NAFTA in his last term anyway? What is he even griping aboot?
Oh, you haven’t heard, then?
Shit like this is why I diversified into metals, commodities, real estate, international, etc. I have like 5% treasuries now, I can’t ever see myself buying them again. Still have a lot of USD for when the shitcunt traitor does dick moves like this.
Ehh....whatever. TACO is going to TACO. It's all a pathetic shell game to boast his ego. And it's a bonus for him if it gets the news cycle to move on from the story about the Canadian national who died in ICE custody.
Exactly. This is just an attempt to redirect focus away from the other Canada/US news story. It’s Disney making a movie called Frozen, so when people google “Disney Frozen” there aren’t a ton of “Walt Disney’s head is cryogenically frozen under the castle” news articles. It’s Boris Johnson saying he likes to paint miniature bus models, so when people google “Boris Johnson Bus” they don’t get articles about his Brexit bus.
It’s called the Dead Cat Maneuver. If you’re publicly losing an argument, throw a dead cat on the table. Suddenly, everyone is talking about the dead cat, instead of the argument you were losing.
In most situations I’d think you meant “boost his ego” but in this case, I think “boast” is more accurate.
Art of the deal babaaayyy
The art of the deal
More like fart of the deal.
The shart of the steal.
Good. The perfect reminder for Canadians to ditch America's economy and join Europe's instead. Just in time as people were beginning to forget.
So he’s making sure all his rich buddies know he’s going to pump and dump the stock market again?
Canada: shrug
Whoa whoa whoa, let's not get all worked up aboot it.
It's fucking market manipulation again, isn't it? He'll probably downplay it early next week then not talk about the topic again
Probably not. Markets are closed.
Obama could have gotten a deal. Sucks Trump can’t get a deal.
He is the author of "The Art of the Deal"...
He will draw a deal that isn't implemented with his sharpie.
Obama should just call Canada and lay out the new trade deal, and insist that Canada refer to it as "Obama's Trade Deal".
If trump refuses to sign it, America loses. If he does sign, he's signing something called Obamas Trade Deal.
Or even if Trump comes up with some deal that's barely acceptable by Canada, Canada should still insist it be called Obama's Trade Deal or no agreement.
America loses
That's exactly what trump wants.
A bag of big macs congealing on his desk, a victim of sex trafficking in his bed and some news on tv that will make putin happy.
As fun as this is to fantasize about, it would actually be illegal.
I mean trump proved the Logan act is completely toothless, if that's what you're alluding to. Obama should do it.
Toothless until a moment like now where the Right controls our entire government. They’d hang him. Sorry, they’d lynch him.
The bottom line: While Trump's actions might be "unseemly," the history of the Logan Act and the fact that it's never been legally tested mean that it's not a "meaningful law" that's "likely to ever be used, against Trump or anyone else"
Good enough for me! let's get to negotiating.
There's a first time for everything. And we've had a lot of firsts recently.
Yawn, this old asshole is so damned tiring.
Don’t worry he’ll have a plan in two weeks
A concept of a plan.
I hope CA tells DT to get fucked eh!
From California. Can confirm.
