These trade letter things are just pathetic

[citygator]

Now I take it as a given that trump didn't write these personally (or maybe he did?) but I've seen junior high students with a better grasp of basic grammar and general literacy. It's all threats and bad grammar, no diplomacy at all.



And misgendering a fellow head of state? I mean this crap is strictly amateur hour.



It's no wonder no-one takes him seriously.

As sloppy as the staffing cuts at the NWS. There isn’t anything Trump cannot do wrong.

Even you can't give it unqualified support.

You, a dyed-in-the-wool tRumpling, had to add "if".

HEHEHEHEHE, you spin well, ignoring the point, but hey, the party is over-)

The hysterical impotence of Trump haters is a fascinating daily study in mental illness.

A long time for them to stew in their bitterness and hate till the next Presidential election.

They still haven't figured out that the bitter vitriol and shaming based on a false pretense of superiority cost them the election.

You, can't, see, what's, wrong, with, this, letter,???? Really,,,,,,,?

I really don't think they do. I think the letter is very intelligent and presidential to them.

My only guess is that most of them -- how would I put this gently -- have not spent an inordinate amount of time in environments where many intelligent, professional, articulate people exist and function.

If they had, and if they were capable of comparing and contrasting, they would be horrified. Embarrassed. Ashamed.

 

[Mac1958]

The biggest jerkoff in history.

It's just a good thing that we don't derive any benefit from friends, allies or partners around the world.

We're so extra special that we can just hide and live in our little myopic cocoon.

Yes, I think that's obvious just by the way they come up with arguments on here. Most are incapable of putting one together that makes sense, and just take other people's arguments and then say "I think this".

I can handle arrogance, and I can handle ignorance. Hell, we all have our moments.

But arrogant ignorance? Dunning-Kruger? MAGA? No. Rubs me the wrong way. Not interested.

You are giving crepitus way too much credit

I can't really handle much of the way most people are walking around in this world without even trying. I was on public transport yesterday and some guy was watching Tiktok, which is stupid, and he was watching it loudly, which is really stupid and he was doing it with earphones in his ears, but not using them.

I posted this on social media, I got a lot "this guy is an idiot". But really, I deal with huge amounts of random acts of stupidity every day. I could write a book that just lists them and it would be War and Peace-esc.

Trump raaaaanted that citizens of Myanmar should buy more SUV's manufactured here. The average annual income of citizens in that country is $4000. That's the kind of blatent outright stupidity that is running this country right into the ******* ground.

There are people are around him who don't say a thing. There are congressional Republicans who shut up and play along to keep their jobs. No one will find a way to shut him the **** up. Or at least HELP him.

This is happening because no one who can make a difference is saying something. We have a petulant eight year old -- one who thinks he's Don ******* Corleone -- running the country. This is a mockery.

He IS a Don Corleone clone. That's why SCOTUS gave him immunity. They had to protect their guy & the MAGA majority continues to do it right up to this day.

We have a MAGA majority on SCOTUS who are nothing but Trump's Consigliere's.
