and there is no ‘big progress’ with the Japan negotiation as claimed by Trump. He will have to pull back. The world is not impressed and clear eyed about Trump’s gimmick the art of the deal. Ha.

Trump gave the world 90 days to work out deals around us.

Thanks. That is the best balanced politically sensible response I have seen so far worldwide.

Only two months ago, TIG bragged about Japan buying $1B of US military hardware, increased imports of USian LNG, invest in US Steel.
But, like an extortionist, two months later, TIG now wants more.

What the Japanese are saying in that clip is exactly what Canada and Mexico found out. When someone keeps coming back to the bargaining table for more they are an unreliable partner, a crook. No businessman would put up with it. We have a crook for a president.

Singapore is rapidly emerging as the smartest, most durable socially, hard working, clear thinking place on earth. Here is a superb summary of how things stand made by the Prime Minister of Singapore to his Parliament a couple weeks ago (yes, he was that far ahead, and our ‘news aggregators’ suck that badly in not forgrounding it).
A brilliant, accurate, politically sane speech — worth your time.

The “JC” mindset is to continuously try to beat more out of the Proles. The Chevy Lordstown plant became notorious for labor unrest in the early 70s. One of the stunts the “professional managers” at the plant pulled was first, observing that it took a bit for workers to get into the rhythm of the line at the start of the shift, then they could work faster. So management installed a speed control on the line, to start the shift at the contract production rate, then, once the workers were into the rhythm, speed the line up, to get cars built for free.
The pump seal company had Muzak piped into the offices. Muzak was not the normal sort of benign music you hear in a restaurant. The music was programmed in 15 minute segments of progressively faster tempo, to try and get the Proles to work faster.
So, of course, a “JC” POTUS would treat other heads of state as inferiors, nothing but tools to be used, harder, and harder, and harder.

Sociopathic POTUS. That’s probably what you meant. But JC=Sociopath, quite often

We have one person with no intelligence. That is our bottom line.
Thousands of mom pop corporations are about to shutter. Laying off millions of workers. The issue is product they can not order, afford or sell whole sale that originates from China.
We have one person who does not know anything intelligent. The bottom line.

This just in:
“Accusing China is business. Buying China is life. The beautiful lace on the dress was recognized by an employee of a Chinese company as its product.”
This is at least the third instance of China trolling the admin. That is not the behavior of a country that is bending the knee - and I can’t think of another tariffed country (Canada comes close) that is reacting with this much moxie.
