Trump is ignorant and stupid enough to do anything, as we have seen recently.

When Biden was clearly off in Loopyland did you ever make a post stating that he was ignorant and stupid?

If not, I suggest you keep your insults to yourself.

Whatever the faults of Joe Biden and/or Donald Trump, I would much rather live in a world that their America dominated, rather than one in which Xi, Putin, Khamenei, Kim Jong Un, and even the dictator in waiting, Modi, exercised dominant power.

One assumes you do not live in Gaza or any country being devastated by US supplied munitions then.

Life is easy when one doesn't expect a 500 lb bomb while sleeping.

Along with supplies from China, Russia, France & Germany, the 5 permanent members for the UN's Security Council, and 5 of the largest arms suppliers, keeping the world safe.

 

Just part of the farce of the useless & self serving UN.  I really wish the USA would pull out completely from UN and every other 'world' organization and world saving treaty.

IMO the UN was set up by the big 3 to control the world post WW2, as evidenced by being in N Y rather than in Switzerland. As time went on it became less effective due to the end of colonialism. Now the emperor has been shown to be naked, but they keep on with the sham as it's all smoke and mirrors to deflect from the real program.

 

IMO every country not in the rich boys club should abandon the UN and set up shop elsewhere without a security council that doesn't secure anything. They couldn't do worse than the farce in N Y.

Hopefully Trump will put tariffs on Thailand , any tarriffs.

It will get the THB lower .

Apologies Germany ... that should be the UK as #5, along with unnamed USA 🙄

Trump would like that, IMO. I think he's isolationist and doesn't care about world trade. Whether that is a good idea is irrelevant to him. He wants everything made in the US, so no need for imports.

It's not like he hasn't been saying that for years.

If one had been paying attention, one would know that.

So if he wants the USA to be isolationist, why does he keep saying that he will end the war in Gaza and the Ukraine in a day?

 

Why does he insist that he will take/buy Greenland, take the Panama Canal and make Canada a state of the USA?

What Trump does not seem to understand is that 100% tariffs are a two way thing. If the USA under Trump wants to impose the tariffs, he can do so, but other countries can also do the same to the USA.

Thailand imposes pretty steep tariffs already.

You give him too much credit for having a coherent ideology. He has no such thing.

He's the greatest con man the world has ever known. He thrives on creating chaos and then claiming credit for fake fixing crises he has created. What he's doing is about the one thing he does care about. All attention on him. All power to him. He cares nothing about any people except for himself. He's a dangerous monster and it's still shocking how many people fail to see that. 

I thought he was stupid, now "He's the greatest con man the world has ever known.". Which is it? 

 

Oh, and I thought he was going to be a maga-fascist-dictator-Hitler on day one. Why has he not been killing off all his opponent and just doing what he wants?

I do know where I don't want to live and it's China, a country that welded people into their apartments without food and medicine during Covid.

I heard the Walking Street in Pattaya supplies the navel bases.😋

Of course This Indefinite Liar can do. I hope the Thais will retaliate with finishing al preferences for his voters, the US citizens.

The beauty is that Americans will have to pay that. And maybe, just maybe, some Americans will discover that life is getting a lot more expensive because of their own idiotic president. Obviously with some of his voters that will take a lot of processing time. But at some stage they should realize it. I am looking forward to that moment.

 

When the US voters did not so that the last 8 years, it will last longer as your and my lifespan.

I'll avoid the israeli question and my views on that align with your own.

 

Ukraine is costing the US biggly. End that farce and the US saves a large amount of money.

 

As for the last sentence, he might want to, but I doubt he'll go to war over them.

If they did, Trump would retaliate against all the Thais living in the US.

Still on that BS I see. I've said it often enough, but apparently you missed every post I wrote saying I support Trump's domestic policies and not him personally.

And realize there are many more Thais in the US than Americans in Thailand, especially rich ones holding valuable houses and businesses.

No, he can't.

And anyhow, there is nothing that I can do in any way to change his behavior. He is an ahole, Americans elected him because they want to be presented and led by that ahole. I can't help them, and I don't know which medicine they should take to activate their brains.

Another 'what if' that will never happen.   OR, with a flick of his pen, make life in TH, much better.

[JimHuaHin]

Short answer, yes, easily.

[John Drake]

Who does this sound like is in the crosshairs of new trade policy? Maybe Vietnam? But it really, really sounds as if it was almost written to describe Thailand's practices.
