  So sorry to bore you with the overwhelming evidence that Trump is a world class failure at an international level not seen since Herbert Hoover.  

 

  You really do put the "din" in denial.

You're idea of overwhelming evidence is an article in the Telegraph behind a pay wall. Ok then. I stand corrected.

Rank lack of professionalism and organisation has defined the endeavour all along, and now it’s coming apart at the seams. Sensing an administration on the run, no one is any longer hurrying to do a trade deal with the US. From Britain to Canada and beyond, getting the right deal rather than a quick one has become the new mantra."

The art of the retreat! 🤣

 

He's too dumb to be tactical! From his perspective, it was stupid to put tariffs on such a high number of countries at the same time, representing more than 70% of U.S. foreign trade. He should have targeted them one after the other (at least for the largest economies). 

 

Of course not, in the first presidency China was able to evade his tariffs by going through Canada and Mexico. Now they don't have that option anymore. Trump learnt from the first tariff war.

[save the frogs]

He doesn't seem like a "laughing stock" in front of the President of Italy in this clip.

I can't wait for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) to be shoehorned into the US presidency by money and manipulation.  That will be 4 years of The Laugh In reality TV.  Hell, she's got my vote.  I'm more than happy to help the US down its self-inflicted Highway To Hell In A Hand-Basket.

Why should I make such a list?

1 There is no way to prove anything I post regarding accomplishments!

2. It has no bearing on Trump's total unsuitably, which he has again proved, to be POTUS!

There multiple federal district lawsuits now and other lawsuits at The US Court of International Trade that tariffs as invoked by Trump under IEEPA are unlawful and unconstitutional.

 

Countries have to have a back up plan until the cases are resolved.

Trump is a circus clown. Few expected this level of chaos and such a slide in consumer confidence and poll approval numbers. 

 

Just a few of the insane things this goon has done already. 

 

He turned a legitimate federal employee designation into a loophole. By giving senior officials such as Elon Musk the title “special government employee,” Mr. Trump avoided requirements that they publicly disclose their financial holdings and divest any that present conflicts before taking jobs in the administration.

 

He ended bans that stopped executive branch employees from accepting gifts from lobbyists or seeking lobbying jobs themselves for at least two years.

 

He loosened the enforcement of laws that curb foreign lobbying and bribery.

He dismissed the head of the office that polices conflicts of interest among senior officials.

He jettisoned the head of the office that, among other things, protects whistle-blowers and ensures political neutrality in federal workplaces.

 

He purged nearly 20 nonpartisan inspectors general who were entrusted with rooting out corruption within the government.

 

As Mr. Musk’s political activities started to repel many potential customers of Tesla, his electric vehicle company, Mr. Trump lined Tesla vehicles up on the White House driveway and extolled their benefits. Then Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick urged Fox News viewers to buy Tesla shares.

 

DOGE nearly halved the team at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that regulates autonomous vehicles. The agency has been investigating whether Tesla’s self-driving technology played a role in the death of a pedestrian in Arizona.

 

As Trump’s trade war locks the world’s two largest economies on a collision course, America’s unnerved allies and partners are cozying up with China to hedge their bets. It comes as Trump’s trade push upends a decade of American foreign policy — including his own from his first term — toward rallying the rest of the world to join the United States against China. And it threatens to hand Beijing more leverage in any eventual dialogue with the U.S. administration. 

 

Hal Brands, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington, said China will “try to exploit Trump’s abrasive behavior to make inroads with U.S. allies and countries in the Global South.”

 

Some scholars say Beijing is already gaining. “People lost the confidence, or even trust, for the United States, particularly for Donald Trump in the U.S. Not for China,” said Li Cheng, professor of political science at the University of Hong Kong. “So in that regard, China gains in the geopolitical landscape.”

In the latest Ipsos poll, for the first time, more people globally now say China has a positive impact on the world than the United States. The pollster cited the broad backlash to Trump’s tariffs. 

 

With Trump saying that countries are “kissing my ass” to negotiate trade deals on his terms or risk stiff import taxes, Beijing is reaching out to countries far and near. It portrays itself as a stabilizing force and a predictable trading partner, both to cushion the impact from Trump’s tariffs and to forge stronger trade ties outside of the U.S. market.

“America and China are now locked in a fierce contest for global supremacy,” Singaporean Prime Minister Lawrence Wong said in an April 16 speech. “Both powers claim they do not wish to force countries to choose sides. But in reality, each seeks to draw others closer into their respective orbits.”

 

It’s all a sorry and sordid picture, a president who had already set a new standard for egregious and potentially illegal behavior hitting new lows with metronomic regularity.
