CNN is Loving Trumps Poll Numbers
Well, hotsun said it was free because of his health insurance. Does that mean that the health insurance only applies to that gym? I guess we'll have to await his clarification. But thanks for pointing out the possibility that I may have gotten it wrong. -

Does the U.S. Even Have Real Allies Anymore Under Trump 2.0?
At this point, it’s fair to ask: does the U.S. still have actual allies, or is it just burning bridges while cozying up to strongmen? Trump’s second term has brought more of the same: bashing NATO, picking fights with trade partners, and treating diplomacy like a reality TV stunt. Meanwhile, countries like Russia and El Salvador seem to be getting a free pass. What if the U.S. was facing a serious humanitarian crisis in any way (a natural disaster, a terrorist attack, a human health crisis, etc) would any other countries step in to help at this point? Look at the track record so far. Trade wars with Canada and Mexico are flaring up again, NATO allies are once more being treated like freeloaders, and any talk of defending Ukraine is practically off the table. The U.K. and Japan might still be in the U.S. orbit, but how much longer before they hedge their bets elsewhere? And let’s not forget the bizarre Greenland fiasco that's now soured things with Denmark, or trying to annex Canada into being the 51st US state because obviously, trying to buy another country is a great way to maintain goodwill. And the U.S. doesn't at all have Iran, China, or North Korea on its side either. So what’s the endgame? Is the U.S. going full isolationist, or is it simply replacing real allies with a handful of autocrats who know how to flatter Trump? If this is all part of some genius strategy, then someone needs to explain it because, right now, it looks more like the U.S. is trading decades-old alliances for a couple of dictatorships and a handful of Twitter rants. Are long standing alliances doomed and all the goodwill for America and its products lost, or is this just another phase of Trump’s “art of no deal” diplomacy? -

Bangkok Shop Owner Defends Right to Sell Controversial Shirts
I could equally go back to an extreme example I used earlier... Its not important to everyone else... but, anyone with decency knows this would be offensive. The lines between basic decency and 'woke' (same mold and mildew that has developed in the west) are being blurred - but it shouldn't. Basic decency has never changed - our tolerance for the lack of it seems to be being eroded, thats all. Are we becoming more tolerant, or just less considerate ? -

Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) system is online (but not announced as starting yet)
Especially since there's a lot of airlines banning power banks on flights, so a lot of passengers arrive with dead smartphones. That's been a learning curve for me flying the Chinese airlines where power banks can't be used in flight. Making sure I don't run out of battery. -

Trump has lost the plot.
You're right on 1 thing, these threads are a waste of time, just hysterical anti Trump nonsense on repeat, its been the same since Nov 5th 2016. You guys freak out at everthing Trump says or does. Never has US politics been thrust into the lime light as much beofre Trump, now its a word wide phenomenon, the likes of CNN and many 'news outlets' depend on him for clickbait to keep their sites alive. Previously rational people have turned into frothy mouthed tantrum throwing toddlers. -

One of the great things I love about Thailand is not having to listen to this rubbish in the media or from any friends of friends.
