They’re not good, but they are easy to win…if you have all the manufacturing facilities and are okay with plunging your country into depression for the sake of absolutely no benefit whatsoever.
Wait, what’s the definition of “win” again?
So now we see whether Trump gives in or makes up bigger and bigger numbers. “900%! 1,776%! A BILLION PERCENT!”
He’s like a 4-year-old king being used by his regent to consolidate power.
It feels longer than that to me (weren’t people talking about America’s influence when discussing our entry into the world wars?), but you’re absolutely right: it took decades to accrue, and it’ll all be frittered away in weeks.
Of course, Trump’s no stranger to bankruptcy caused by mismanagement.
Definitely a Russian asset. I think that’s more or less clear at this point. But the acts he’s taking seem more…stupid than calculated right now. I don’t think it’s his goal to destroy America (though it’s certainly possible that his handlers want that); I think it’s his goal to enrich himself, and he’s just not too bothered by the prospect of destroying America in the process.
Trump wants to take over the world. All he’s succeeding in doing is remaking the world into one that doesn’t need the US. And indeed has no use for us at all.

I mean, the only question at this point is really whether he was one before he ran the first time or if that happened later.
Fair point.
