To me it seems like he views the world that way.In my view he treats everything and everyone as commodity regardless of what country they are from.

Like Bob Dylan said years ago , " We are only a pawn in their game " and

it's still true today ,maybe even more so.

He is supremely transactional, and entirely self obsessed. If you are not of immediate value then you are nothing. If you have a voice and people hear you then you are rubished often in the rudest, most racist and misogynistic terms.

November 3rd and the subsequent few days has the potential to be really funny.

If the wheels come off, maybe the subsequent meltdown will be the end of him! I do hope that American democracy is sufficiently well entrenched to withstand it!

Most self centred pig on the planet. His ego knows no limits. The truth will come out one day and the pig will get his 20 years in jail.

Not gonna happen, in spite of your fevered dreams and fantasies.

Come January 2029, the US will be happily ushering in President Vance.

Everything is for Trump's greater glory and financial gain. He is incredibly insecure and incredibly greedy. Neither knows any bounds.

Now, likely at his request, his sycophants want his signature on US currency. He renames buildings after himself. He wants all broadcast media to mimic North Korean media, or else lose their broadcast license. He holds a parade, ostensibly for the Army, that just "coincidentally" fell on his birthday (it was as poorly attended as the Kid Rock Alternative Superbowl Halftime Show). He just named the Strait of Hormuz the Straight of Trump. He has nothing but positive superlatives for anything he does or pretends he did, and nothing but negative superlatives for anyone who doesn't worship him.

Among the many ways an independent, non-captured outsider knows Trump leads a cult is to pay attention when Trump says something crazy. When he first raised the idea of seizing Greenland, all the MAGAs came out saying, "He's just trolling the libs". When Trump kept repeating it, so people knew he was serious, MAGAs changed to "great idea!" In the stolen classified documents fiasco, the cult believed BOTH that Trump "declassified with his mind" as well as "the FBI planted the docs".

Also, the cult still calls him the Peace POTUS and is as miffed as Trump he did not get the Nobel...all in spite of the reality he blows up fishing boats in the Caribbean with double taps, and has bombed Iran, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Nigeria, Somalia and attacked Venezuela and Ecuador. Now he's going to put boots on the ground in Iran, though none will be named Trump, nor will any be sons or daughters of his Mar-a-Lago members. No doubt he'll grift off that the same way he uses his Tweets to manipulate equity and crude markets.

He is completely and totally transactional and everything's about money, favors or leverage. The US used to use those commodities as a way to gain favor throughout the world, now Trump is using them as a bludgeon and a sledgehammer.

He cares not one I iota for the common man, the economic pain and hardship that he's causing throughout the world right now is amble proof of that.

It's just one more reason why billionaires should never be allowed to run for president, nor should they be allowed to be cabinet members, they have absolutely no clue what's going on in the rest of our lives.

Trump is street trash with a huge ego, the goon is very fragile and emotionally driven, and he treats the world like we are all inferior subjects to him.
