Discussion: WSJ: Trump Reverses Pledge, Won't Label China Currency Manipulator

Not labeling China a currency manipulator is very magnanimous, especially considering it quit doing that over two years ago. It also fits into him “playing to his strengths.”

Well done, Beavis Butthead Shithead!

What the Trumpazees will read/hear: 'Trump gets China to stop manipulating currency!"

And let’s not forget how any threat from Comrade Chaos has the Chinese quaking in their boots … once they pick themselves up from the floor after recovering from spasms of laughter.

“Xinhua, the state news agency, on Saturday called the strike the act of a weakened politician who needed to flex his muscles,” The New York Times reported. “In an analysis, Xinhua also said Mr. Trump had ordered the strike to distance himself from Syria’s backers in Moscow, to overcome accusations that he was ‘pro-Russia.'”

“President Donald Trump flip-flopped on a number of campaign promises Wednesday.”

This should surprise no one. Trump has fip-flopped on just about everything since his inauguration. It is almost a daily occurrence. Unfortunately, his flip-flops usually make things worse.

So if you repeatedly flip-flop on alternative facts, that were all lie’s in the first place, where do you end up?

POTUS 45

Please, TPM.

Trump did not “reverse” a “pledge.”

He did exactly the same thing he did before – he mindlessly spouted off whatever made him feel good in the moment. The content, as always, is secondary.

Trump told Xi he far prefers Sidney Toler over Warner Oland…

Wow. In the absence of a reaction attack tweet from Trump, does this mean that he has broken his long habit of paying attention to the New York Times?

I’d love to see a member of the press ask the National Embarrassment to spell ‘currency’ and ‘manipulator’, and then use them correctly in a sentence. But then, I do love watching the heads of fatuous gasbags explode…

Where’s that modified To Do checklist someone (Anti?) keeps putting up. Needs a few new entries.

Gee, what a surprise. I thought he was such a populist. But I’m sure those bastions of populism like Fox who helped create that myth will be all over this story. Right? Right? Bueller?

Trump Today, Just One Day:

China is actually not a currency manipulator.

We are actually hiring.

Yellen is actually a nice lady.

Bannon is actually an ass.

Not too late to fire Comey.

NATO is no longer obsolete.

US-Russia relationship may be at an all-time low.

This man is a soulless, heartless, clueless senile moron, but if we try to make sense of all the hodge-podge, this may just mean he is hitting his panic button like crazy for survival…

I sometimes get the impression that President Turnip is the kind of guy who if you told him he had his pants on backwards he would take them off and put them on backwards.

Seriously, I knew he was a joke of a man, I knew that he was a media whore/reality star, I knew that he thought himself to be attractive and believed that most women did, too, I knew he was a burgeoning racist (didn’t really even suspect that before the Birther bullshit), I knew that he had no government experience and that, as the campaign lumbered forward, he had no policy specifics but I honestly never fucking knew just how flat out stupid he is.

Breathtakingly stupid. Just low-average stupid. Not clever, not capable in any way. Nope, just a stupid fucking asshole pig-eyed sack of shit with no soul and no humanity.

I still can’t believe this country managed to be as stupid and put that dumbass in the Oval Office… I mean, you could elect Jeb, you could elect even Cruz, you could elect, dammit, even Walker. I would have hated it with passion but I would have gotten it. BUT NOT THAT EMPTY ORANGE FATASS.

[/quote]Stop being so milquetoast, diplomatic, politically correct, vanilla in your understandable expression of disdain. How do you really feel about the depths of his stupidity?

Has he kept a single one of his campaign pledges? I mean, not that they were anything more than free-association designed to push lowest common denominator buttons, but has he kept one?

And my god, we aren’t even two months in.

Baseless claims again about NATO? Good God.

And then from Josh’s blog concerning the meeting between trump and Xi with reference to N. Korea…trump says:

“After listening for 10 minutes, I realized it’s not so easy,” Mr. Trump
recounted. “I felt pretty strongly that they had a tremendous power”
over North Korea,” he said. “But it’s not what you would think.”

My God the man is dense.
