the POS.

Before Trump, the international community "didn't respect us." He's making America great again.

He said that “particularly the change in Washington puts the European Union in a difficult situation; with the new administration seeming to put into question the last 70 years of American foreign policy.”'

The whole world is watching, and 'likely' the trump administration doesn't care.

OR financially.

Haven't we heard the whining of Wall Street about the "uncertainty!!!" "Oh, the uncertainty!" Hey, we LIVE with uncertainty.

But you CAN contain it. Shape it. Prepare for it. Try to anticipate manage variables that come up, and as with a chess game, try always to think three steps ahead.

But For Pete's Sake, you don't see a fire burning and throw fucking GASOLINE on it!!!!!!!!!!

I wonder if the "worst trading day of the new year" just a few days ago is because of him. He did say he wanted to be unpredictable. But we can't afford to play so close to the edge like you can when you play hardball negotiator in a business deal. This is governing. This is not just politics, it's GEOpolitics. The world is watching and reacts and THAT makes a BIG difference. We don't operate in a vacuum.

I don't think trump understands this. He's operating in his own little world.

among the financial community.

My sister and I had been planning a trip to the British Isles. Obviously our pleasure trip is small potatoes in the scheme of all the upheaval and disruption this administration is determined to cause, but it just goes to show that the ramifications of the things this administration does are going to reach into every aspect of peoples' daily lives. Americans aren't going to want to travel out of the country, partly because we'll be pariahs, but also because what if we have to worry about being let back in?

book " The Shock Doctrine " . Basically destroy all public institutions as quick as possible before the people
have a chance to revolt and then privatize everything and sell off to the Billionaires for their profit . America will be a
third world banana republic very soon .

Trump does not have a clue about AI and its impending effects on white collar jobs as well as continuing effects on blue collar jobs.

Trump thinks that America's future lies in coal.

Anybody tired of win, win, win yet?

I suspect the Trump rally is gone, probably for good.

what a nightmare

goes back to India every February for a month. He leaves tomorrow. We were telling him that we hope that they will let him back in the country when he returns.
