WWIII? Or just a little fuckery?

If Trump can't see that Putin is a danger to this country, he's a tactical and strategic idiot. If he thinks he can partner with Russia against China, he's a fool. Russia has more in common with China than the United States. If he thinks he can make a deal with Putin he's a fool, they just lie. I hate to do this, but I have to let it out. If it wasn't for the other problems this country has, I'd be willing to dump Trump.

Dumping Trump would be solving the biggest current problem in this country.

Can somebody check the local weather report from Hell? Has there been been a sudden drop in temperature? I can agree with Liberty.

Trump is an idiot and a fool. But he is a very effective propagandist and purveyor of fantasy.

Trump is an idiot and a fool. But he is a very effective propagandist and purveyor of fantasy.

The thing is, though, he's not actually good at it. Everyone knows he's lying and just making shit up; he is completely transparent but also shameless. However, there is a sizeable percentage of the population that wants to believe the lies and bullshit and is willing to close their eyes to reality, and that's a much bigger problem than Trump.

And a second sizable group who will put up with the bullshit so they can get what they want--mostly lower taxes and keeping their privileged positions. Let's see how they like Trump's upcoming recession and stock market collapse; that's the usual legacy of most republican administrations, and pretty inevitable here. It will make the midterm elections interesting though.

Aside from a quibble about "if it wasn't for the other problems", you've definitely found a truffle there.

It is a long-accepted management principle in military organizations that it is most dangerous to give responsibility to one who is both stupid and ambitious.
