It sounds like basic stock market manipulation. Look for the freaks selling and buying the roller coaster and it will lead back to Trump's gang.

Don't fret... I have absolutely no expectations that Americans can pull out of this power dive. I just hope that most of the damage will be self inflicted.

I'm not sure what to make of that in context. Do you mean that we should just suck it up?

And another thing. Its America's job to police this mess, they installed him either directly or indirectly. The rest of the world didn't ask or vote for this dangerous toddler.

Given that there are no ideal moves in any direction, I feel that standing up to the bully is the only option on the table. They failed to do that in 1939.

That conspiracy that Trump was recruited by the Soviets as an agent in the 1980s is sounding less and less of a conspiracy every day.

Didn't one of the space shuttles almost holed by a fleck of paint?

Taking something away and then restoring it seems a rather low bar for a Noble Peace Prize?

We really don't need such a leader, and in practice don't have one at all. Usually it is a collision of mutual interests, at best.

Exactly.

Occasionally one of our leaders would mouth such empty platitudes when we wanted something, but only because the US loves that phrase.

Fundamentally, if you voted for Trump you do support his agenda. That's how voting works.

You just don't want to own it.

I dunno why, but this guy actually looks as if he was a plastic straw maker.
