I probably should have paid the money.
We are not discussing buying an ice cream for a prostitute, we are talking about inviting people to his sons birthday and making the guests pay. He is all defensive now but he even wrote it in his OP a headline. I think the problem stems from the farangs who marry the prostitutes. They are always treated as a customer, their wives have no earnings and they are always expected to pay for the extended family of the wife. This is a result of the girl ending up with an ugly old desperado and a way of saving face with their family and social circles. If there is no financial gain then she will leave and get someone she actually likes. In this case he should have paid for the ice creams instead of regretting it weeks later and making it awkward for his son. Nobody is going to show up next year. -

The Bizarre Source of POTUS' Tariff Obsession
Step aside, The Onion; reality is weirder and funnier. POTUS might have always had a woody for tariffs, though it's quite clear now he never understood them nor ever read David Ricardo. He probably thinks Smoot & Hawley were a one-hit wonder band from the 60s, kind of like Zager & Evans. In his first term playing POTUS, he tasked his son-in-law Jared with finding him an expert on tariffs to add to his Administration. Jared went on Amazon and searched for books on tariffs, figuring he would find an expert somewhere. Jared spotted a book called "Death By China" that argued China was killing the US via trade policies. The author was a guy named Peter Navarro. Jared liked the title and recommended it to dad-in-law. POTUS added Navarro as his tariff guru. In his book, Navarro repeatedly quoted an economist named Ron Varo. Varo was portrayed as someone who had researched tariffs and had all the facts, forming the basis for Navarro's own opinions, which reinforced the opinions of POTUS. There's only one problem: Ron Varo does not exist. He's a made up character. Ron Varo is also an anagram of N A V A R R O. So when your 401K evaporates or your insurance company cannot pay a policy claim, thank Ron Varo. You can also order Death By China on Amazon. Perhaps Amazon will offer it in a package along with Art of the Deal, so you can get two seminal works of fiction. -

Drunken foreign trouble making thug gets bottle smashed over his head.
Exactly my point. If you dont see the whole interaction you can't judge from a short video on what actually happened or what instigated the conflict. The media's job is to get readers so they tend to sensationalise everything to accomplish that goal.- 1
