Why would you annihilate the very farce that’s making you so much money?
Next week, we’ll be back to “negotiating.”
Nah, keep this gravy train flowing for as long as possible.

While I acknowledge your point, I'm unsure he has the wherewithal to think in coherent enough terms to maintain a cogent thought for more that a couple of seconds.
I agree. I’m not even sure he’s cognizant of much at all. He’s demented. And he was an idiot before all that too.
His puppeteers however, they know exactly what they want.
Fair enough.
His oil holdings didn't jump enough after the last "threat" to be lucrative enough to sell.
Once they do, and he rakes in a few extra billion, he'll be right back to, "They're willing to sign an agreement.. No really this time. They folded like lawn chairs.", and the cycle starts all over.
Meanwhile I'm looking at gas that's just about to hit $5.00 in my area.
Lucky, we're pushing past $5.50 in Oregon. Honestly prices are the least of our worries. I think there will be shortages and the idiot spent our stockpile.
Sure, just before an embarrassing retreat is announced, but it gets framed as oh we are so merciful for not wiping them out. Just like last time before they made a deal to pay 300bn or something to Iran as well as handing control of the straits.
Notice that the markets have jumped the last few days? Because the whales know this is bullshit before big cave in to end / pause hostilities
So my guess is, this is to distract from how incredibly bad his Greenland deal was.
Uhhh, what Greenland deal?
"infinite life contract" in which basically Greenland belongs to America from how i understood it.
The one that hadn’t been signed or even spelled out really. It’s tremendously bigly.
Fucking lunatic demented rapist embarrasses us all again
It's fashionable to dismiss virtually all of Chomsky's work now, but I wonder if even he anticipated someone like donnie eventually just saying this kind of shit out loud on the very flimsiest of pretenses?
Chomsky called all of this in the 70s by spelling out the neoliberal plot and insisting both parties answer to the same masters. He called controlled opposition. That being said, his judgement is clearly suspect given his behavior.
iran note please do not target everyone it is trump and epstein class and epicenter of where most of wall street is not most of america. lots are brain washed to support a fascist but assure you it is not us he is panicing trying to close a deal before the elections make him impotent
It'll never happen because of the blowback that Israel will receive and we can't have our most precious 51st state being hurt now can we?
