Ill just take verdicts against him personally that demonstrate cheating.

Seems the dementia is setting in fast. You should have either taken better care of yourself, or chosen a better gene pool.

 

It wasn't too long ago the State of NY found 34 instances of cheating. For fun, try Googling "34 felony convictions", and guess what name might pop up.

 

Oh, and in the past he was convicted of a cheating scam regarding an eponymous "university".

 

Then there's his fake "charity", where he was convicted and fined for fraud.

 

Absent court verdicts against him, you will find more than a hundred instances where subcontractors accused him of cheating on payments, but they did not have a rich daddy to fund their legal fees.

 

On a personal level, you will find lots of folks who discuss his golf game, and his lack of adherence to the rules, which is revealing of his lack of character.

 

You might also ask his wives about his serial philandering, though he wasn't "convicted", of course. When Stormy spoke of 'mushrooms', you can be damn sure his current (former softcore porn model) wife knew he cheated.

Korbel and Cook's are both well-known brands of sparkling wine, often referred to as "California champagne" due to their production in California, not the actual Champagne region of France

While Cook's Brut California Champagne might have "champagne" on the label, we have to reiterate the facts. The term — "California champagne" — is a clever marketing trick, and California produces some pretty incredible wines. But this isn't actual champagne; it's a sparkling wine.

Additionally, Cook's Brut California Champagne has another glaring issue on its label: the flavor doesn't match the description. "Brut" falls among the driest categories for a champagne or sparkling wine. In other words, it's not meant to impart a sweet flavor. In fact, official wine regulations recognize brut as containing 12 grams of sugar maximum — meaning it's even drier than an extra-dry wine.

Cook's Brut, however, doesn't fit the bill. The wine is notably sweet. And maybe that's your thing. But when it comes to decoding a wine label, we prefer designations that are accurate, allowing us to plan for a wine that pairs well with our meal, occasion, and personal preference. Mimosas, anyone?

Since you're here, the 1999 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti is now drinking very well, almost to the level of the 1990 vintage.

President Trump threatened the EU with a 200% tariff on imported wines, champagnes, and other alcoholic products if the bloc did not remove a duty on whiskey.

He posted on his Truth Social platform:

The European Union, one of the most hostile and abusive taxing and tariffing authorities in the World, which was formed for the sole purpose of taking advantage of the United States, has just put a nasty 50% Tariff on Whisky. If this Tariff is not removed immediately, the U.S. will shortly place a 200% Tariff on all WINES, CHAMPAGNES, & ALCOHOLIC PRODUCTS COMING OUT OF FRANCE AND OTHER E.U. REPRESENTED COUNTRIES. This will be great for the Wine and Champagne businesses in the U.S.

Psst, Trump, the US doesn't have a champagne business, since champagne is produced in France only. At best the US has some mediocre sparkling wine.

This is just another way that Trump could damage the American economy. Liquor imports into the US generate billions of dollars in retail sales within the US.

 

The man is blazing idiot and an absolute disaster.

That is a rubbish statement.

The term "whiskey" should be used if produced in a column still, the term "whisky" should only be used if produced in a pot still in Scotland.

Many countries make whiskey in column stills, including Scotland.

Champagne selling businesses you mean, which will run dry soon, because the Champagne region in France is the only place in the world that produces champagne.

 

You want to discuss IQ's?

 

 

Steady on CallumWK, because you are dealing with typical MAGA/trumpie cult members and as Trump has already said, "he likes the poorly educated" so it stands to reason that you are also dealing with folk of that ilk.

You are wasting your time trying to educate them for two reasons, first because they are "not the sharpest knives in the drawer" and second because they worship the orange buffoon and all he says, even though he's dumb. There, fixed it for you.

There was a certain Thai PM not long ago who I noticed only appointed people who were stupider than him.  The full-display moment was when he was in exile and the street demonstrations were going on, he sent three minions to deal with the other side who were much like a redshirt version of the US's Three Stooges.  The difference here is that former PM was actually a successful and knowledgeable business man. 

It isn't easy for this guy in the US to find someone dumber than himself.  It has been reported that when King Charles requested an audience with his nibs one of his staff said "He probably wants to discuss Canada" to which another staffer said "what does the king have to do with Canada?"

 

So it’s your position that Trump is smarter than Musk?

Is whiskey not a generic term?

 

The only people I have ever heard order “whiskey” were in the movies.

The name whiskey is used mostly by the US. It is bought by all classes of people around the world. It is not expensive although some brands are priced more than others due to name and quality. France does make whiskey since the 1980s. But their quality lacks experience compared to the US who has been making it for hundreds of years. 

For the French, impsoning a 50% tariff on whisky will make sales drop there significantly. Simply because of the cost. 

Whereas Trumps 200% tariff will drop sales of the champagne. Due to the significance of the amount of sales and the selling prices of both. The 200% tariff makes sense. 

The 50% tariff will not hurt the average household as most would not buy a French champagne anyway due to the cost. 

The 200% tariff on whiskey may affect those lower class and middle class in France though.

I think the idea of it makes sense. 

The point of it all is that these tariffs have been in effect for some time already in the form of taxes and with an unfair balance. Trump is trying to even the scales of import and export costs. It has been very one-sided with the US on the lower part of the scales. 

 

The Scots make whisky. The Irish make whiskey. America makes bourbon.

 

Scotch whisky is made from malted barley. Bourbon is made from corn mash.

Not if they are all losing money hand over fist, and up to their eyeballs in debt. But then, how one manages to go bankrupt on three casinos where people line up to give you money - there's a pattern.

 

Trump's handicap is at variance with his golf swing. He looks like he is digging for clams. Built-in shank. IIRC there's a video somewhere on YouTube.

 

Sociopaths are usually teetotal, it's a control thing. Hitler was teetotal too.

Given two misspellings in your post, it would appear you are the one who is sozzled.

This is why Trump is despised, he's such a simpleton and narcissist. The mind of a child.
