An even bigger mistake is listening to Trump and thinking that anything anything he says is not propaganda. He is in reality a Marxist and a master at the use of propaganda. That's how he won.

The whole idea is to find a woman that you can relate to, and to find a woman that's worthy of your devotion, and part of that (for me at least) was finding a woman who was willing to live her life outside a box of extreme convention, so we are constantly demonstrating affection to each other in public. I don't care at all, and she's learned not to care as much about what total strangers think of us.

Trump does not know how the stock market works, but I think you can go one step further and say he does not know how the economy works, and on a more important level he knows nothing anything about globalization and all the intricacies involved in manufacturing internationally. There's a reason why that's taking place, there's a reason why manufacturing has shifted overseas. It didn't happen in a vacuum and that manufacturing will not return to the US, not during our lifetime. It is just a slogan and a concept that he used to very craftily deceive millions of people into voting for him. It would appear at this point that Trump's seesaw approach to tariffs is having a dire effect on the US economy, thousands of jobs are being lost every day, the stock market is crashing (and believe me that crash has only just begun) and many countries are re-thinking their relationships with the US, realizing that the US is not the dependable ally they thought it was. Many are avoiding visits to the US which could decimate American tourism, and many nations are likely planning their manufacturing in such a way that they are considerably less dependent on American imports, exports, and sales. So where does that leave America in the grand scheme of things, and how badly could Trump's policies come back and bite him on his enormous butt? Trump is very, very dumb. And he has no vision, and is getting terrible advice. He is a grand fool. A circus clown. In the minds of many of us Trump is grossly overestimating the importance of the US and the dependence of other nations on the US. Granted the US economy is still huge, but it's not immune to damage, it's not immune to punishment by other nations, it could start shrinking, and it's not immune to crashing.

This will never happen. It would be the fair thing to do, and the right thing to do. But, Trump has repeatedly promised his rich buddies and his super rich donors he would lower their taxes. And that might be the only promise he keeps. Raising the deficit, raising consumer prices with dumb tariffs, increasing unemployment, and lowering taxes on the super rich. Disaster Don at work.

Normally I would praise the US for taking a moral stand against a spectacularly morally bankrupt Thai administration. But now? Trump has essentially surrendered any right to take a moral stand against any nation.

Not anymore. You are referring to the pre Trump America. Justice and the constitution are now out the window with the grifter.

My woman has a fantastic sense of humor. She makes me laugh constantly. A practical joker. And a quick wit too. Guess I got lucky, but alot of Thais are quite playful.

They sure do have an obsession with uniforms. Government officials looking like some sort of defense officials and such, with the 35 baht worth of ribbons. It is downright weird.

That whole region has got to be hell on earth. Yikes.

On my first day in office the war will end. Maybe even sooner. Trust me. Believe me. I am great. I will get Putin to listen to me. I am a genius. Just watch.

And that is the absolute crux of the issue, and the very reason why very little overseas manufacturing will return to the US. Wages are too high. Skills are too low. And cost are insane. Trump already lost this battle. He is simply too dim to realize it. Great campaign slogan. Ridiculously far from reality.

Considering the lack of consumer protections here, I seriously doubt any manufacturers would face prosecution. That is almost amusing.

That is a ridiculously judgmental statement. Panda is an incredibly convenient luxury. Will be very saddened to see them go.

I am continually astonished at how spectacularly dumb AI is, I'm sure they're there are advanced applications, military applications and such that are more intelligent than what I'm seeing, but everything I'm seeing is just not advanced intelligence, or artificial intelligence, but rather just plain old dumb.

That defines Trump. An unhinged, very unstable numskull.

You do a very good job summarizing the fact that Trump is a blazing and very, very dangerous imbecile.

Well of course Trump was going to lose this trade war, that was inevitable from the beginning, declaring economic war on a nation like China is never a good idea. The reality is that he has caused such a horrific amount of damage that it might take decades to repair, if it can ever be repaired. Trump has diminished America's standing in the world by such a dramatic extent it could not possibly be overstated. The man is a one-man Wrecking Ball, a bull in a China closet, and an ignoramus to a staggering extent, and the damage that he is causing could not possibly be over stated. You can dress a clown up in a blue suit, but he's still a clown.

That is the most ridiculous statement that I've heard all month. I'm in the US right now and absolutely everything has gone up, please define for me what has gone down in price. I don't see anything that's gone down in the last 6 months, since my last visit to the US every single one of my staples has gone up at least 10%, regardless of what the completely ridiculous FEDs say. That defines 20% inflation to me. The only one I know of that's claiming that prices are going down is Trump, and how do you trust the word of a lying, thieving billionaire?

I'm not a CPA or a forensic accountant, so I was not analyzing this from a airline financial point of view. I was simply stating how amazing it would be to have direct flights again from Bangkok to the US, the advantages of that point cannot really be debated logically. More options are usually a good thing!

Trump is definitely not a Hitler and I do not think that his intention is to slaughter millions of people though I do question what he would do with unlimited power I do not consider his intentions to be positive or noble, and I think the fact that Kennedy is doing something to benefit people is more or less an accident.

Thanks. Hard to truly sum up the lower nature of this bizarre man who the people chose to lead them.

When you say it wouldn't be easy what comes to mind for me is how difficult most Western women are. That would be the biggest challenge, why live with a Western woman, when you don't have to?

I think quite the contrary, he and his billionaire buddies may be part of a scheme to deliberately wreck the economy, as there may be a sinister agenda at work here. And enacting all these insane tariffs without having any sort of deep understanding of global manufacturing ecosystems, and the inherent benefits of low tariffs and why they have driven economic growth in the U.S for decades now, is an astonishing thing to witness. Such spectacular ignorance at work. Disaster Don.

This is a rather extraordinary day in American history when you have a Trump appointee, a guy like RFK actually trying to do something that benefits the population.

Direct flights from Bangkok to Los Angeles would be amazing, and I have to believe that there would be enough demand for it if the pricing was competitive.
