Wake up boys. No use telling Trump that he’s got to stop behaving like this because this is what he is. You might as well tell him he’s got to stop being Trump. Focus on what is, not what “should” be. Very Catholic thinking.

Isn’t that the method that Idi Amin Dada once used to smoke out his opponents in Uganda in the 1970’s? As I recall, Dada had circulated news of his death, and then sent his police to round up all the citizens that poured into the streets in order to celebrate his death.

You portray China as some sort of invulnerable Golliath that yields to no one. We shall see. This Golliath has a few severe weaknesses and Trump knows them. Your criticism of Trump is one of style not substance. I find your application of upper class protocols to be obnoxious and unhelpful. Trump is from Queens NY, duh! Trump is facing the toughest problems all at once. This is not a choose one, fix it, then move on to the next in a 4 year limit. This foolish approach would get you a failing grade in any STEM program. Yes, strategic… Read more »

Why the frustration with Trump? He is breaking the system. This is not going to happen any other way. Careful and systematic approach gives ground to the entrenched interests.

BTW, insecurity is the underlying state of a narcissist. Trump is not insecure, he is oblivious.

The plan is to break the system, preferably without starting a world war. Because the alternative to this controlled demolition is a world war.

Realpolitik Russia deal that Trump avoids

Trump tariff pause, people yippy, queasy. Kallas, China enables Russia war. Elensky, $50B US weapons
