China should know that if his lips were moving during the phone call he was lyingâŚ
The wind must have changed direction today. Yesterday it was blowing from the other direction. Tomorrow it will be somewhere else.
Mr Flighty doesnât remember from day to day where he stands.
Except when Baby Ivanka gets her feelings hurt, that he remembers forever.
Except he thought he was talking about cups and saucers at the Mar-a-Lago.
Weak!!
He is âWeak on China.â He requires abbreviated Daily Intelligence Briefings. The ultimate irony is that the current Dixiecrat GOP and its resentful white voter base was formed in the early 1970s in the case that eventually became Bakke v Regents of the State University (of California), the social conservative case seeking to have Affirmative Action declared unconstitutional.
This movement has now resulted in the Affirmative Action election of yet another pampered, dumb, totally unqualified white male (see Ronald Reagan, see George W. Bush) for the most important job in our country and possibly the World, where he is receiving Remedial On The Job Training in which he is showing absolutely no interest. He loves the photo-video opportunities of signing Executive Orders. He loves tweeting his Neanderthal thoughts to the millions of his fans. After a mere three weeks, he is already the worst President the US has ever had. And he probably still thinks that Carly Simonâs first big hit is about him.
As much as Iâm enjoying Trumpâs discomfiture, there are two things Iâm worried about:
-
Trump may not actually realize what just happened, or China may not realize what a pathological liar he is, leading to further mixed signals and possibly crises down the road, and not just with China.
-
More importantly, like all abusers, heâll now try to take his humiliation out on vulnerable populations here at home. And he still has a lot of Americans who are eager to help him hurt their neighbors. Iâd like to have some big public displays of solidarity ASAP.
As an aside, I said three weeks ago that Trump was not a popular President. China, Iran, Mexico and Russia have now figured that out faster than Congress.
Trump Says Heâll Honor âOne Chinaâ Policy In Call With Xi Jinping
âŚUntil he doesnât.
If the president* is so deluded as to believe that Xi Jinping will swallow his BS wholesale, he is sadly mistaken. The United States will pay the price for this idiocy.
Trump may not actually realize what just happened,
I agree with this. Heâs being obviously and badly manipulated by Bannon, Moore and Kudlow. These *ssholes somehow think they can go against China but somehow come out on top in terms of global influence. Rump didnât know the âOne Chinaâ policy from the beginning and never will. Like all feral trumpers, they donât have enough intelligence to understand sophisticated policy or even simple diplomacy.
A couple of thoughts here: 1) One China, but which one? 2) Whatâs to say that the one China doesnât shift back and forth, like the rest of Trumpâs âthoughts?â
Donât be so sure that Trump is being manipulated. In my experience, organizations reflect the person at the top. Always.
Worse than James Buchanan? Hmm. I think the juryâs still out on that one.
Trump Says Heâll Honor âOne Chinaâ Policy
There needs to be a permanent moratorium on the use of âTrumpâ and âhonorâ in the same headline, sentence, paragraph, or short story.
President Trump looked very weak, flaccid, limp and cowardly backtracking like this. The cowardice is made worse by the fact that he was very wimpy and did not have the guts to go to Vietnam and keep America safe.
Instead President Trump was courageously battling in his own personal Vietnam by sleeping around, and avoiding sexual transmitted diseases like gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes and syphilis. President is a True American Hero of Vietnam. He is an Unsung Hero who suffered countless indignities including attacks on his privates by his Gonorrhean, Chlamydian, Herpetic and Syphilis enemies and oppressors who used biological weapons. President Trump overcame his numerous tormenters with his small bare hands.
Interesting note. I was born in Taiwan, but my passports over the years have always been marked âChinaâ as place of birth. The last one I received (during the Obama Administration) was the first to actually have Taiwan listed as place of birth, even though I donât believe the U.S. policy has ever changed. That was just a couple years ago, so itâll be a while until Iâll need to renew it (hopefully long after the impeachment) so I wonât know if theyâll switch my birthplace back to China.
Organizations only reflect the person at the top IF said person has a strong enough personality to imprint that to the org. Rump only serves as a tool, a proxy (or, puppet) for the other degenerates in the WH. He has very few ideas on his own and those are pretty shallow and unsophisticated.
If somebody who actually knows somethingâMattis comes to mindâsat him down and asked him to pay attention for just a minute and told him theyâll go to war, actual shooting war that could lead to a nuclear exchange, over this Taiwan stuff and he got it through that incredibly thick skull enough to get real about it, then our chances of surviving this thing have ticked up a couple of percentage points. Lot of ifs there. But I was mildly glad to read this.
Add to your list Branstad as ambassador
That did it. Now I canât get the yowling out of my head, and Iâm laughing too hard to breathe.
