When egos collide.

Well, there's every chance there's a freaky video of Donny smothered in baby oil.....

A 15 year old sacrificed for an election stunt.

It seems that the location Trump chose to make the increased Steel and Aluminium tariff charges yesterday was a a US steel plant in Pittsburgh that is in the process of being sold to a Japanese Steel corporation, Nippon Steel. Trump, during the period he was out of office, opposed the purchase and Biden blocked it. Now Trump has no problem with the deal between a foreign company, Nippon Steel, buying what is described as an iconic US plant.

It is the standard practice of foreign companies which have bought out other companies, home and abroad, to asset-strip the newly purchased Co and transfer the assets to the mother-country of the purchaser.

Due to his flip-flops, it would not be wise to presume that any product made at any Nippon Steel plant in Japan or elsewhere outside the US will be liable to the latest tariff increases Trump has put on all imported steel and aluminium.

The US was never any of those things though. Since ww2 they constructed a narrative which sold that story to the world. In reality they were like an invasive species, wreaking havoc in every corner of the world just to further their interests.

In One way I'm glad Trump got in, cos it lifted the mask on what the US really is and how it's people view the rest of us. It's time we moved on. They have created more global instability and death since the end of the war than any other nation apart from Stalins Soviet Union.

If they want to reintegrate with the world in future. It should be on our terms, not theirs.

Again, I'm absolutely astounded that Trump can endorse a claim that Biden was replaced by clones, that his deep end MAGA supporters then share amongst themselves as proof; but all serious commentators, all Senators and Representatives, all normal people just somehow gloss over, never comment on, just dismiss as Trump being Trump.

He dogwhistles to his base in plain view, and everyone is later shocked that they are ill informed. This claim should be brought up in every interview with every Republican Senator or Govt Secretary; saying is this true, do you believe it, what have you said not the President regards this!

It's like the autopen claim. No-one followed up on it seriously l, so the MAGA base still repeat it as a genuine thing.

One might assume that the Oval Office is an unsafe work environment.

No if they want to go down the "robot" line, they might just have a look at Scott Bessent……….a more robot like Individual it would be hard to find. When he talks the only thing that moves are his lips.

He's such a dcik head. Even to phrase it as 'a foreign class of servants'.

Wernher von Braun, technical director of the German V2 rocket project [+ his brother and 100 other German rocket-development team technicians] surrendered to US troops in 1945 and then moved to the US where he got a naturalized citizenship in 1955 while working at White Sands, New Mexico.  “After all,” he said, “if we are good, it’s because we’ve had 15 more years of experience in making mistakes and learning from them!” Vance, and Trump, would probably not have that other German-connection fact mentioned.
