Maybe its not Trump - see if you can watch him for 5 minutes and not be bored - I think its the fact so many believe in him - kind of continuously shocking.

And I think that he's slowly starting to realize that apart from being able to bully the weaker countries, his true opponents just ignore him. Putin is just toying with Donald, and Xi is giving him the middle finger.

 

There will be no end to the Ukraine/Russia war until Putin says so, and Xi will just bring American economy to its knees, without even exerting himself very much.

 

Goodbye America, you are no longer number one country, and soon you'll be at the bottom of the pile, technologically, economically, and socially. That is the price to pay for your corporate greed. You will no longer be the biggest military power, that role is reserved for China now, and Europe in not so distant future. Economically, other countries will dominate you, like China, Japan, and even the EU.

The reality is not your scripted TV show.... Actions have consequences (and equality opposed reactions! Newtons third law of motion)

 

I just feel sorry for the other 50% of the US citizens that did not vote for that POS. But hey, you can always emigrate, you'll be welcome in Europe, like so many famous Americans (Grandma Tina springs to mind, and some of my closest friends).

Then you better start learning Chinese, because if America goes away, China will take over the world. Nobody but America can stop them.

What is World Cup? And what is Superbow? I have no idea what you're spouting about. You must be one on those Muricans speaking in some foreign dialect. Didn't you know that you're supposed to use only English on this forum?

It's not that simple.

A lot of things are changing. 

Nobody knows what things will look like. 

 

If you search "Sovereign Wealth Fund", which there was an executive order issued for, there will be no doubt a bunch of media outlets putting a negative spin on it. 

Here is what appears to be an unbiased objective description of what it might look like. 

 

So he appears to be trying to copy a system that has been successful in other nations. Maybe it won't work out. But he doesn't get a pat on the back for effort?

 

You really need to stop putting your biased negative doom and gloom spin on every single thing he's doing and blow things way out of proportion man. 

 

What's your blood pressure look like lately? 

 

https://law.stanford.edu/2025/02/24/how-trumps-sovereign-wealth-fund-could-solve-a-tax-problem/

President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to create a sovereign wealth fund — a government-owned fund that could invest in stocks, real estate or other private assets, allowing the American people to share those companies’ profits. Countries as disparate as Saudi Arabia and Norway have used their oil revenue to set up such funds, which are generally thought to have been quite successful.

This is your defense of sleaziness? That it's a dangerous job?  A President is supposed to put the interests of the country first. Profiting from the office obviously raises serious questions about whose interests he's putting first. Not so long ago, such conduct would have been unthinkable.

You mean before Hunter Biden?

Yeah, I do read a lot of comments from many military news sources. Most agree that Americas military might just lost the edge against China. And you have yourselves to blame, allowing all those Chinese spies working in your defense industry. 

How come that J-20 looks just like a copy of F22 Raptor?

I'm out.

This Trump madness is taking too much of my energy.

Good luck with the doom and gloom.

To quote Sting: "I'm and Alien, I'm a Legal Alien..."

In your country it doesn't matter anymore, you can be incarcerated and deported just by farthing in the wind.... no matter legal or not,

Just read that a wife of a US Coast Guard member was deported. Why don't you just deport Melania? Is she really legal?

Did you start learning Chinese yet? And any money or property you have, is going to be confiscated. That's the world you are hoping for when you said the US is going away.

I must say that I really like those ThumbsDown smilies. Well done mods for that addition! At least I know now that what I'm posting hits the nerves of the lowlifes on this forum.

That was 7 months ago. A lot has changed since then.

EDIT: Correction 14 months ago. When the US economy didn't have an economically suicidal President.

It sounds like he was joking.  Do you think when someone says, "Oh, I'm so hungry I could eat a horse." that they seriously want to eat a horse?

 

It sounds like you're the one who needs to be in a padded room.

No, no Fred.

less than 50% which is a minority.

Fox is hardly world news, which is the most popular.

 

And Thailand does have world news.

Lefties take everything so literally. Like when he said he'd end the Ukraine war in 1 day. Everyone knew he was joking. Except Bernie Sanders.
