Will Donald the Destroyer Strike Again?

U.S. President Donald Trump increased pressure on Canada and Mexico over trade on Monday, saying the two could avoid being caught in his planned hefty tariffs on steel and aluminum if they ceded ground in talks on a new NAFTA trade deal.

Trump also said, after a weekend of tweets in which he threatened to hit German automakers with tariffs, that Mexico needed to do more to stem the flow illegal drugs to the United States, something not encompassed by the talks over the North American Free Trade Agreement.

Trump’s determination to push ahead with a 25 percent tariff on steel imports and a 10 percent duty on aluminum has prompted threats of retaliation from the European Union, Canada, China and Brazil among others. It has roiled world stockmarkets as investors worry about the prospect for an ever-escalating trade war that would derail global economic growth.....

There’s been a mysterious change in Trump's demeanor 

— and no one knows why

It's simple.  They've changed his meds.

When the President of the US decides to wilfully incriminate himself in a tweet, we’re better off without him as an ally

Trump is a danger to a British national interest better served by reversing the referendum result, remaining in the EU, and hugging civilised allies close until a semblance of sanity returns to DC

“....So ends another tempestuous week in the eye of the Trumpnado. Retweeting Britain First’s Islamophoic propaganda films, misaddressing his reply to the Prime Minister’s rebuke to a Bognor housewife, dissing the Fifth in favour of wilful self-incrimination, and perjuring himself once again in the court of public opinion by accusing an honest man of lying. Behold the leader of the free world to whose good graces the non-Bognor Theresa May has seen fit to entrust our post-Brexit hopes of economic salvation...”

Christie Says He's Not Sure Trump Will Seek Second Term in 2020

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie said he’d back Donald Trump again if he runs for a second term, but he isn’t sure the president would want another four years in the White House.

“If he runs again I would support him, yes, but I’m not so sure what would happen,” Christie said during an interview Friday on NBC’s "Today" show. “Four years is a long time, and especially for someone who has not spent a lifetime in politics, so I think those years affect him differently, so I’m sure the president will make whatever decision is best for him and his family and the country.”

Trump has already begun raising money for a re-election campaign.....

He campaigned with a lot of swagger. But his first nine months in office have been defined by indecision, vacillation, and a reluctance to call shots.

Who Knew Trump Would Be a Wuss?

At his rallies, presidential candidate Donald Trump excited his most avid supporters through displays of toughness: his calls when a demonstrator acted up to “get him out of here”; his incantations of his reality show signature “You’re fired”; his promises of robust actions on “Day One.” He promised his ecstatic followers that he’d tear up trade treaties and the Iran nuclear deal. He’d force other countries to renegotiate and he’d be tough in his dealings with them, just as he’d been in business. And he’d show those so-called NATO allies that the U.S. wasn’t committed to defending them—no more of the wishy-washy deference to other nations that Barack Obama had displayed for eight years. Also, on that busy Day One, he’d have a replacement for Obamacare ready for Congress to enact immediately. He’d pick the very best people but wouldn’t hesitate to get rid of someone who wasn’t up to the job. Above all, he’d be decisive, no vacillating figurehead. He’d be a man of action, tough and strong.

And then …

Grump is going down and he doesn't gave a shit if he takes us with him

Grump is going to deliver on every one of his campaign promises – even if he ruins America in the process

In the space of just two days, Grump took steps to sabotage Obamacare and the nuclear deal with Iran. If either leads to disaster, the blame will all be on him
