I was struck how coherent and focused Trump sounded in that clip from his first term.

I wonder if Katie‘s friends company is “who gives a crap“ — they make awesome toilet paper we have delivered to the house! That’s all.

No Katy, this is not about needing Qatar for international peace!!! Trump doesn’t even care about peace!

I can’t believe that after all these years Tur is still asking “if there could be some rational” around ANY corrupt action Trump has/is taking! By now everyone, especially the media, should know exactly who and what Trump is: a corrupt wannabe dictator who only cares about himself!

Um, I think this is what they call sane-washing.

No business is going to spend a billion dollars or even a half billion dollars building a factory that could be obsolete if and when Trump changes his mind on tariffs and scraps the whole thing. Or when in a little over 3 years Trump is gone.

Uncertainty is fatal for business especially when Trump changes his mind from hour to hour. It's impossible for a company to rationalize spending an enormous sum and have it blow up in their face if a new trade deal is signed and tariffs go back to their normal low level.

This is an insane way to run a country and if the Republicans had any balls left, they'd put an end to Trump's monumentally stupid trade war.

He is simply a toddler having a meltdown- “I WANT A NEW BIG FANCY JET AND I WANT IT NOW”. - a caring parent would take him by the hand and lead him out of the grocery store so he could gather himself. Unfortunately, there are no responsible adults able to intervene at this time - stay tuned! Help MAY be on the way

You would need an entire toilet paper factory to produce enough to handle the sh*t that comes out of this administration officials’ mouths.

Perfect statement, except it's a regime, not an administration.

Thanks for the laugh. I needed that.
