Want to read what I really think about the Trump administration and the Asia Pacific? Here you go. It’s a goddamn catastrophe for U.S. national interests and for the regional economic and diplomatic order.
A United States that is disintegrating and no longer a leader in Asia
As Trump 2.0 hollows out US state capacity, the Asia Pacific must prepare for a world without US leadership

Is there one single thing the Trump Administration has undertaken that has not turned to shit or that is not sure to turn to shit? One thing that has not made America weaker? One thing that is not causing suffering or will cause it soon?

oh yes the same people who acted like they were being murdered when they had to put a piece of cloth over their faces definitely understand the concept of shared sacrifice
Rep. David Joyce on Trump saying girls should have fewer dolls: "The idea that the Christmas trade is already starting to slow down and there might be less around, I get it. I think the American people will understand that because the American people understand shared sacrifice."

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

Republicans with the help of the media managed to persuade Americans the US economy, when it was strongest in the world, was struggling. They promised to “fix it” with policies that would clearly and swiftly produce a disaster. And they won. Cue the disaster. So many failures all at once.

What’s important to realize here is the president of the United States is an idiot. But not just an idiot. He is also a broken narcissist who is obsessed with his own power with no sense of history or economics and no concern for anyone other than himself & who’s surrounded by enabling fools.
Donald Trump has committed the most profound, harmful and unnecessary economic error in the modern era. Almost everything he said—on history, economics and the technicalities of trade—was utterly deluded econ.st/3YbbFjq
